Seismic analysis using Robot Millennium

Abstract

The paper presents the modelling and structural analysis of a complex structure under seismic loads using the Robot Millennium software package. In order to test the output results, the author chose a building already designed in the documentation [1].
The above mentioned documentation was created as a guideline for applying the design standard P100-1/2006. Following the given structure architecture and loads, the author of this paper remodelled the structure using Robot Millennium v.20.1.
The objective of the paper is to show:
1. the Robot Millennium instruments used for modelling this type of structures
2. various modelling ways for the same structure highlighting the most convenient one (in the author’s opinion)
3. the results accuracy of the analysis in comparison with the output given by the work of Professor Tudor Postelnicu
