Abstract:Conventional seismic design approaches rely on the ability of structures to dissipate the input earthquake energy through inelastic deformations in the designed regions of steel frames, implying substantial structural damage and potential residual drifts after a major earthquake event.Peak response quantities, such as peak story drifts and peak floor accelerations, are typically considered to evaluate the performance of different structural systems under seismic loads.However, several studies have shown that r… Show more
