Abstract/Summary
This document will describe the inputs, methodology, and outputs for the CLT 2-way subroutine for cases with and without openings recently added to a proprietary structural analysis software. For the sake of simplicity, most of the discussion will be focused on cases without openings from here on out, as the verification process for a novel method for cases with openings is still in progress. The CLT 2-way module calculates multi-point resistance functions for panels without openings by automating the procedure outlined in an industry-standard structural design manual. The subroutine also finds the appropriate dynamic response factors, kinetic load multipliers, mass, and initial load parameters for a given panel. These outputs are then used to conduct dynamic response analysis for a given dynamic load. The accuracy of the CLT 2_way subroutine will be assessed through comparing dynamic response with an established internal validation program. Once the validity of the CLT 2_way subroutine in generating dynamic response is confirmed, all other cases of panel support conditions will be tested for accurate resistance function values and drfs and klms. Mass and initial load will be tested only occasionally since their computation procedures are trivial. Finally, the logic behind cases without openings will be applied to cases with openings to preview ongoing research on this topic.
