Connection overstrength in steel-braced RC frames
Engineering Structures, 2008Steel bracing systems can be used effectively for seismic retrofitting of existing RC buildings as well as for seismic design of new buildings. Although adaptation of bracing to upgrade the lateral load capacity of existing RC frames has been the subject of a number of successful studies, guidelines for its use in newly constructed RC frames need to be

Design overstrength of steel eccentrically braced frames
International Journal of Steel Structures, 2013The paper reports an analytical study on the design overstrength of steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The study aimed at examining the influence of geometrical factors and seismic hazard on the design overstrength of EBFs. Pursuant to this goal a computer program which facilitates EBF designs was developed.

Earthquake ductility and overstrength in residential structures
Structural Engineering and Mechanics, 1999This paper reviews aspects of current design procedures for seismic design of structures, and specifically examines their relevance to the design of light framed residential buildings under earthquake loading. The significance of the various structural contributions made by the components of cold formed steel framed residential structures subjected to ...

Statistical analysis of seismic behaviour of steel frames: Influence of overstrength
Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 1996Abstract The influence of structural overstrength on the seismic behaviour of steel structures and on the assessment of the q factor has been studied by means of a suitable procedure, based on the selection of a significant set of homogeneous historical earthquakes and on the statistical analysis of the dynamic inelastic response of the structure to ...

Overstrength factors of RC bridges supported on single and multi‐column RC piers in Mexico
Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2021Mexico highway network has more than 14,000 bridges. Most of them are reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The bridges design process incorporates the use of an overstrength factor that is not justified and has received little attention in published ...

Second‐Order Effects on EBF Yielding Links: New Design Equations for Overstrength and Capacity
ce/papersPrevious studies have shown that links in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) can be subjected to axial loads. Both shear and flexural links exhibit increased shear strength under tension and a reduction in shear capacity under compression. While AISC 341

Structural Concrete
The actual capacity of a reinforced concrete (RC) structure is determined by the overstrength capacity of individual members. RC members can undergo six stages (namely cracking, yielding, spalling, buckling, crushing and rupturing) depending on the cross‐

Appropriate Overstrength of Shear Reinforcement in Precast Concrete Diaphragms
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2007Current precast concrete diaphragm design may not necessarily protect the diaphragm from a nonductile shear failure in an overload situation. As evidence exists that diaphragms can attract large inertial loads during strong ground motion, emerging design methodologies are aiming to develop the diaphragm flexural strength.
