I’m researching the progressive collapse. In summary, I want to see what happens if I apply un displacement controlled de 1200 mm under a reinforced concrete frame to simulate the loss of one central column. i.e I want to redo one model of this paper (usefi et al, 2016). Specifically this model: Figure 1.

I already have my model, but it doesn’t give me the correct results as in the paper. this is the model I made: figures 2 and 3

as you can see, the results are not logical. I apply a downward load but it gives me positive displacement. and it seems that there is some problem with the analytical surfaces I think I’m making basic mistakes because I’m not sure if I’m applying the loading speed correctly.

Any suggestions, please?

Hi,

Your nonlogical results could have some reasons. From basic such as units of your inputs to how you modeled a quasi-static analysis. Refer to the link below. In this article, you will understand the quasi-static analysis and how to deal with it.
