Software Educativo Para El Análisis No Lineal De Pórticos 2d Usando Programación En Matlab

Abstract

This research project was born from the idea of being a support for the academic spaces that correspond to the area of structures in the Faculty of Civil Engineering, in a way that supports both parts of the learning process, strengthening the skills that students are acquiring and favoring the work of the teacher through the didactic representation of the practical components. The structural calculations that are necessary for the analysis of the behavior of a structural gantry follow a continuous methodology whose variables interact with each other throughout the entire mathematical procedure, which represents a theoretical advantage that this software takes advantage of in a specific way, helping the tasks of the students and teachers in such a way that all the initial data and the processes that are executed in it are graphically supplied for their correct analysis and use. This research project is established as the tool that assists in the development of theoretical-practical skills in a non-linear analysis method of 2d frames such as the PUSH-OVER seismicity analysis methodology, where displacement behaviors are analyzed and horizontal turns that a structure presents in the appearance of an external horizontal force. The educational software enables the possibility of graphically structuring the seismic capacity behavior of a simple 2d frame of up to three levels, describing its maximum displacements in the three important moments of analysis such as the one before the crack, just after the crack and at the time of breakage.
