Design of FRP structures in seismic zone Manual by Top Glass S.p.A. and IUAV University of Venice 35 3. EXAMPLE OF CALCULATION A numerical example relative to the design and verification of a pultruded frame subjected to static and seismic actions is illustrated (see Figure 3.1). The procedure will be the same also in presence of different structures as simple frame, multistory frame or irregular structure all made by beam- column connections or, again, for local reinforcement using pultruded FRP systems. Figure 3.1 View of structure (dimensions in meters). In this first part of the chapter, the characteristics of the structure are described and general indications are given about the seismic behavior and design of pultruded frames. In the second part of the chapter, Load analysis (p. 42), the static and seismic loads acting on the structure are evaluated. The seismic response of the building is evaluated first through a spectral response analysis and then through a pushover analysis. The third part of the chapter, from page 55, describes some structural verifications of the single members at the ultimate (ULS) and serviceability limit state (SLS). In addition, a verification of a bolted joint is carried out, considering the different failure mechanisms.
