Seismic Response Modification Factor of Eccentrically Brace Steel Frame

Abstract:

Seismic response modification factor (R) and displacement amplification factor (C_d) are very important parameters to compute seismic force and to verify elasto-plasticity deformation in advanced seismic design. According to the present China Code for Seismic Design of Buildings,15 eccentrically braced steel frames are designed. R & C_d of 15 samples are computed by the Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM).Some correlative factors are analyzed and some reference is presented to the seismic design of these structures.
