Abstract:<p>When designing a tall slender building, it is important to consider cases such as overturning, pulling out of column bases, and excessive deformation in the shorter elevation during earthquakes.</p><p>Where there is a single-span frame across the short (front) side of the structure, deformation readily concentrates in frame stories with low stiffness. If the frame yields in one story, plastic deformation is concentrated in that story, resulting in story collapse. However, there is a growin… 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.
