Static Non-Linear Pushover analysis of 2D/3D Steel Trusses

Functions and routines focused on Non-Linear Pushover analysis of 2D and 3D Steel trusses

This software is the implementation of the Pushover analysis for 2D and 3D structural trusses fully developed in MatLab as functions. Such functions are based entirely on axial stresses. A uniform load incrementation is carried out on each step until a collapse or stiffness degradation criteria is reached. Such functions have proved to have a great potential for their implementation in teaching the Pushover method in structural mechanics and applied sciences through the simulation of collapse mechanisms. Not only P-Delta collapse graphics are obtained, but also the axial load history of each bar during the analysis process.
