Application of Inelastic Design Spectrum to Capacity-Demand-Diagram Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
An improved capacity-demand-diagram method that uses the well-known constantductility design spectrum for the demand diagram is developed and illustrated by examples. This method estimates the deformation of inelastic SDF systems consistent with the selected inelastic design spectrum, while retaining the attraction of graphical implementation of the ATC-40 Nonlinear Static Procedure.

A new method for drawing the capacity spectrum for seismic analysis and structural rehabilitation
A review of previous studies shows that there are two general views on how to determine demand in structures through incremental nonlinear static analysis. In the first view, multi-modal methods are used to determine demand in structures. In this view, the applied load pattern is applied to the structure according to the shape of each vibration mode, assuming that the structure deformation foll...
متن کاملForce Reduction Factor R for Shear Dominated Low-Rise Brick Masonry Structures
This paper presents investigation carried out, including experimental and numerical studies, on low-rise shear-dominated brick masonry structures for the calculation of force reduction factor R. Basic experimental tests were conducted on masonry constituent materials for mechancial characterization. In-plane quasi-static cyclic tests were conducted on twelve full scale brick masonry walls, to u...
متن کاملAre There Any Differences in Seismic Performance Evaluation Criteria for Concrete Arch Dams?
Differences between stress-based and strain-based criteria are investigated in seismic performance evaluation of the arch dams in time domain. A numerical model of the coupled dam-reservoir-foundation system is prepared with the finite element technique. Reservoir is modeled using the Eulerian approach as a compressible domain, and the foundation rock is assumed to be massless. Dynamic equilibr...
متن کاملAnalytical Investigation of TADAS Damper Applied in Seismic Rehabilitation & Design of Concrete Structures
In recent years, destructive earthquakes have shown the deficiencies of the existing buildings. One of the most effective mechanisms for dissipating the earthquake energy is inelastic deformation of the steel components. The objective of this research is to study the application of metallic dampers for dissipation of the earthquake energy and to investigate the behavior of concrete structures i...
متن کاملRetrofit of Blast Resistant Rc Members with Cfrp and Srp Summary
It can be learned that the equivalent viscous damping ratio is a crucial parameter in the application of the displacement based (DBD) method. Analytical studies presented here and elsewhere indicate that the equivalent viscous damping ratio is highly dependent on the axial load level. Furthermore, the same can apply for the loading type; namely, seismic and blast loads. Based on research findin...
