SARCF-II User's Guide: Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Frames

The capabilities of the program SARCF have been extended and an updated user's guide is presented herein. The purpose of program SARCF-II ("Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Frames, Version IT") is to compute nonlinear responses of reinforced concrete frames subjected to deterministic or randomly generated earthquake ground motions. Expected damage values are calculated with an option to perform automated damage-controlled design iterations until a user-specified damage distribution has been achieved. In addition, this program reproduces the load-deformation curves for quasistatic displacement controlled experiments. Presently, the program handles reinforced concrete frames consisting of beam and beamcolumn elements, and grid structures consisting of beam elements.
