Application of Adaptive Method in Optimum Seismic Design of Steel Moment Resisting Frames and Dampers, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Moghaddam, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
The preliminary design of building structures is normally based on the equivalent lateral forces provided in seismic design guidelines. The height-wise distribution of these loads is predominantly based on elastic vibration modes. However, as structures exceed their elastic limits in severe earthquakes, these design load patterns may not necessarily lead to efficient distribution of strength within the structures. To address this issue, several alternative load patterns have been proposed for the seismic design of non-linear structures. However, due to the simplifications involved in the development of these design load patterns, their adequacy needs to be assessed for different structural...
