ON MULTIMEDIA SIMULATION SYSTEM FOR RC FRAME STRUCTURES DURING EARTHQUAKE COLLAPSE

Based on the characteristics of reinforced concrete frame structures. object-oriented theory is used to model reinforcement, concrete, beam and column A computer simulation model is presented to simulate frame collapse during earthquake. Computer visualization and multimedia system are integrated to create a multimedia simulation system Users can input parameters by interactive interface. The collapse of RC frame structure during earthquake is studied by the simulation system. It is shown that the system can simulate practical frame structure in the earthquake collapse process correctly.
