Pushover Analysis Validations

Akselos has demonstrated the capabilities and effectiveness of its software through extensive analyses, ranging from simple to complex models. These analyses have been rigorously verified using theoretical calculations, established standards, and real-world solutions. This article focuses specifically on the validation of beam structures through a variety of test cases.

All the test cases are listed below:

• ATC_PA01 - Deflections of Inelastic Beams
• ATC_PA02 - Plastic Hinge in a Rectangular Beam 
• ATC_PA03 - Plastic Bending of a Clamped I-Beam
• ATC_PA04 - Elastic-plastic pure-torsion of a rectangular beam
• ATC_PA05 - Simply supported beam with distributed uniform load
• ATC_PA06 - Elasto-plastic cantilever beam with tubular section and vertical point load
• ATC_PA07 – Lee's Frame buckling problem 
• ATC_PA08 – Cantilever beam under a moment at the tip 
• ATC_PA09 – Williams' toggle frame 
• ATC_PA10 – Harrison's Space Beam with Tubular Sections 
• ATC_PA11 – Portal frame 
• ATC_PA12 – Remseth's Framed dome
• ATC_PA13 – Two-storey three-dimensional frame 
• ATC_PA14 – Vogel's two-storey triangular spatial frame 
• ATC_PA15 – Two-storey rectangular spatial frame 
• ATC_PA16 – Collapse Analysis of 2D Frame with Tubular Braces 
• ATC_PA17 – A four-legged jacket structure
