Determination of Seismic Performance Factors for Buildings with Concentrically Braced Frame Systems under the Excitation of Near- and Far-fault Records
Abstract:Performance coefficients are widely used in seismic design codes to achieve performance objectives. The values of these coefficients have significant importance in achieving pre-specified performance goals. Studies have shown that near-fault earthquakes decrease the ductility and increase the risk of failure in the structures; however, the current codes use the same performance coefficients to design structures against near- and far-fault records. In the present study, 1-, 5-, 10- and 15-story special concentr… Show more
