User's Manual for the Larz Family: Computer Programs for Nonlinear Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Planar Structures

摘要

This manual describes the procedure to prepare data for three analytical programs(LARZ, LARZ2, and LARZAK) as well as two plotting programs (PLARZ and PLARZK).Programs LARZ and PLARZ are for the analysis of reinforced concrete planar buildingstructures subjected to base acceleration. Program LARZ2 is for static analysisof such structures subjected to lateral loads applied at floor levels. ProgramsPLARZ and PLARZK are for the analysis of a "single-degree U oscillator subjected tobase acceleration.
