Abstract:A dual system building is comprised of frames and shear walls. In dual system the shear wall predominantly carries the lateral loads arising out of earthquake or wind. Frame is primarily designed for vertical load along with a fraction of lateral load. The force-based method of design or codal design method can hardly design building for pre-defined target objectives. The alternative method of design is displacement-based design (DBD). Available displacement-based design, like, Direct Displacement-Based design… 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.
