Abstract:In seismic design procedure, the idea of considering uniform inelastic behavior for all stories displaces materials from unnecessary locations to stories needed for damage reduction and leads to a more economic design. In this paper, a parametric study was done to assess the seismic performance of structures designed based on uniform ductility pattern. For this purpose, three artificial records whose response spectrums were matched to the codified design spectrum, were considered. Using an iterative procedure,… 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.
