Abstract:Most structural design codes use elastic analysis to calculate and distribute seismic base shear over the height. This may lead to unsuitable design and may cause undesirable damages to the structure. To solve this problem, in recent years the Performance-based Plastic Design (PBPD) method which considers the plastic behavior of the structure, has been proposed. In this study, the PBPD method is extended to the dual system of moment and eccentrically braced frames. As a code requirement, in dual systems the mo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
