Stiffness of randomly sampled stainless steel frames under gravity and gravity plus wind load scenarios

Data was generated using the general purpose finite element software ABAQUS and performing advanced nonlinear analyses. The database is comprised of vertical and lateral system stiffness values corresponding to different random samples of six different nominal stainless steel frames under gravity and gravity plus wind load combinations. The values of the random variable assignments are given for each case. 

The full details of the finite element model can be found in: Arrayago, I.; Rasmussen, K.J.R. Reliability of stainless steel frames designed using the Direct Design Method in serviceability limit states. Journal of Constructional Steel Research 196, 107425, 2022.

The data included in the dataset corresponds to the vertical & lateral stiffness of each frame under different load conditions.

Although the data has been generated using the finite element software ABAQUS, no special software is required to read or interpret the data.
