Inter-Story Capacity Spectrum for the Performance Based Seismic Design of Vertically Irregular RC Frame Structures II: Examples

Abstract:

The procedure to establish the inter-story capacity spectrum method is explained detailedly in partⅠ. In this part examples are presented to demonstrate the applicability and utility of the proposed method. It is shown that the vertically irregular RC frame structure can be directly designed with the methodology proposed in this work. It is also concluded that the new method can control the inter-story drift, the order and position of hinges of vertically irregular structures under different earthquake hazard level. Comparing to time history analysis method, it leans to cautious and is superior to direct displacement-based design (DDBD).
