A macro element model for inelastic building analysis.

A three dimensional model for approximate inelastic analysis of buildings is presented herein. The model is based on a single macro element per building storey. The inelastic properties of the model are characterized by the so-called ultimate storey shear and torque (USST) surfaces. Different algori...
