Story Shear Graph

 

 

 

Plot graphs for story shear vs. inter-story drift to represent the pushover analysis results.

 

Note
 In order to use this function, the Story Shear Force Ratio of Member should be checked on in Model > Building > Control Data of the Main Menu.(default=Check On)

 

 

 

From the Main Menu select Pushover > Pushover Result > Pushover Story Graph > Story Shear Graph.

 

 

 

This graph can be plotted to check the story shear vs. inter-story drift curve or the story shear vs. inter-story drift ratio curve when the pushover analysis is completed.

Pushover Load Case

 

Select a pushover load case, which was applied to analysis.

 

Result of Direction

Specify the directional component to be plotted

 

 

Type of Result

 

Select an item to be plotted.

 

Story shear vs. Inter-story drift curve or Story shear vs. Inter-story drift ratio (Multiple selections are possible)

 

 

Story

 

Select a story to be checked. Multiple story selections are possible.

 

 

Type of Display

 

Assign decimal points to be displayed on the axes (including exponentials).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Right click on the graph displayed on the screen to prompt the Context Menu. Using the Context Menu, various graphs can be expressed and data and images can be saved.

 

Change Title & Label

The title and subtitles to the x & y-axes may be changed.

 

Draw Item Name At Graph Lines

Display the description on the graph lines.

 

Draw Gray & Color Graph

Draw the graph in gray or color. (default=Color Graph)

 

Save Graph As Image

Save the graph in the graphic file format of BMP, JPG or EMF. (default=BMP image)

 

Save Graph As Text

Save the graph in the format of a text file.

 

Save Graph As Excel

Export the graph data in the format of Excel Sheet.

 

Note

Story shear vs. inter-story drift curve can be used to evaluate the inelastic resistance of the structure. It can also be used for calculating the story ductility demand to evaluate the local inelastic resistance.
