I am investigating about a building envelope system (reinforced concrete building with a glazed facade) which can resists blast loads. I am willing to apply the blast load using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD), and then try to find the responce of the structure by considering fluid structure...
I want to do material nonlinear analysis using SAP2000. But I have a doubt whether the SAP2000 actually follows the material nonlinear curve. To check that one I created a simple model (one end fixed and other end free, vertical column), then I applied different compression forces and checked...
