Seismic Response Modification Factor for Special Concrete Structures Based on Pushover & Non-linear Time History Analyses
Abstract:
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are able to dissipate a large amount of energy during earthquake (EQ). RC structures designed to resist EQs must have enough strength and stiffness to prevent any possible collapse as well as to control deflection. Seismic codes include the response reduction/modification factor(R) in calculation of equivalent lateral forces used for EQ…
