Effect of Building Configuration on Overstrength Factor and Ductility Factor

open access: yes
It is important for the structure to be economical and still have a high level of life safety. The lateral force sustained by the structures during a large earthquake would be several times larger than the lateral force for which the structures are designed. This is opposite to the fact that design loads such as gravity in codes are usually higher than

Comparative Analysis of Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames in Eccentric Configuration (BRBF-Es) and Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Continuing on the findings of “Using Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames in Eccentric Configuration,” by Dr. Gary S. Prinz, P.E., which determined that, from a performance standpoint, BRBF-Es could be a viable alternative for EBFs.

Use of combined scaling of real seismic records to obtain code-compliant sets of accelerograms: application for the city of Bucharest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A recently proposed method for scaling real accelerograms to obtain sets of code-compliant records is assessed. The method, which uses combined time and amplitude scaling, corroborated with an imposed value of an instrumental, Arias type intensity ...

Assessment of Redundancy Factors for the Seismic Design of Special Moment Resisting Reinforced Concrete Frames

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Solids and Structures
A parametric study devoted to assess the impact of increasing the structural redundancy in ductile reinforced concrete (RC) moment framed buildings is presented. Among the studied variables were the number of stories and the number of bays.

PROBABILISTIC ANALYSIS OF FLEXURAL OVERSTRENGTH FACTOR FOR SEISMICALLY DESIGNED REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS AND COLUMNS

open access: yesProceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction
The study presented here aims to address some issues related to seismic design of structures, with special focus on the probabilistic modelling of reinforced concrete (RC) cross-sections capacity. It aims to validate the overstrength factors provided in Eurocode 8 for the design RC beams and columns.
