In order to investigate the seismic performance of prestressed concrete rocking frame (PCRF), a theoretical model based on rigid body is established for one-story single-span PCRF. The PCRF studied in this paper has connecting interfaces set at column feet and inner faces beam–column joints, allowing columns be uplifted with accompanying separation interface rotation beam around interface. tend...

Abstract Due to technological developments in last decade, new methods of seismic evaluation are use like simulation based, algorithm probabilistic, software based etc. These have enabled researchers move from linear non-linear analysis. Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is performance method where a suite ground motions applied structure further scaled particular levels intensity. Seismic fra...

This article deals with the free in-plane vibration analysis of a frame with four arbitrary inclined members by differential transform method. Based on four differential equations and sixteen boundary and compatibility conditions, the related structural eigenvalue problem will be analytically formulated. The frequency parameters and mode shapes of the frame will be calculated for various values...
