Behavior along the loading sequence (CAMUS I)
The entire loading sequence has been modeled on a multi-layer discretization
basis, with a flexible support and the use of the damage model presented in section
7.4.2. As shown previously, two types of accelerograms have been used, one
representative of an earthquake far away (Nice), the other one of an earthquake
nearby (San Francisco), with a far shorter signal and higher acceleration peaks. The
earthquakes applied have been successively: Nice 0.25 g, San Francisco 1.13 g, Nice
0.4 g, Nice 0.71 g (the quoted intensity value is the peak ground acceleration).
Material parameters used for calculation were concrete : Young's modulus E =
30,000 MPa, maximum compressive strength, fc = 35 MPa, traction strength, ft = 3
MPa; steel : Young's modulus E = 200,000 MPa, elastic limit fe = 414 MPa, and
strength at failure, fr = 480 MPa).
