Selection procedure of seismic-load reduction factor K1 at a given level of ductility factor [PDF]
At the present time for providing earthquake resistance of buildings and structures, the multilevel design approach is applied. According to this approach seismic loads corresponding to the level of the maximum design earthquake must be perceived by ...

Ductility and Strength Reduction Factors for Degrading Structures Considering Cumulative Damage [PDF]
The effect of cumulative damage on the strength requirements of degrading structures is assessed through the evaluation of the target ductility and corresponding strength reduction factors of simple degrading structures. While the reduction on ductility is established through the use of Park and Ang index, the suggestions given by Bojórquez and Rivera ...

Ductility reduction factor analysis of RC frames considering influences of infilled walls
Abstract The value of ductility reduction factor is directly related to seismic design force. And then it has a vital impact on the safety and economy of structures. Influences of infilled walls as nonstructural members on ductility reduction factor is usual neglected in current codes.

Evaluation of seismic performance of X bracing systems equipped with flexural yielding dampers [PDF]
The X-bracing system is one of the lateral loads bearing system. In X-bracing system’s elements, axial plastic hinges (compressive or tensile) will be formed instead of flexural hinges which are not capable to absorb high energy.

Behaviour Factor of Ductile Code-Designed Reinforced Concrete Frames
The current generation of seismic design codes is based on a linear elastic force-based approach that includes the nonlinear response of the structure implicitly through a response modification factor (named reduction factor R in American codes or ...
