4.1 Context
4.1.1 Cyclic behavior of a triangulated mesh
The behavior of triangulated meshes subjected to cyclic action corresponding to an earthquake makes it difficult to define simple analysis methods:
in the elastic domain, the compressed and tensioned diagonals contribute to the mesh's stiffness and strength;
but, after initial buckling, the behavior of a compressed diagonal deteriorates in both stiffness and strength (see figure...
