ABSTRACT A parametric study is conducted to interpret the force reduction factor values of
steel moment resisting frames as given in the Egyptian code. The force reduction factor is …

This paper compares seismic provisions in the Egyptian code for loads, 2008 (ECP2008);
Euro Code 8 (EC8); and Uniform Building Code (UBC 97) to highlight the differences in …

Response modification and DEFLECTION AMPLIFICATION FACTOR s are used in the
current seismic design codes to account for the inelastic behaviour of structural systems …

Damping is one of the parameters that control the performance of structures when they are
subjected to seismic, wind, blast or other transient shock and vibration disturbances. By …

Reduction factors are the important seismic design parameters to consider nonlinear
performance of building structures during strong earthquake, in conformity with the point that …

Despite the fact that steel is a ductile material, the significant damage, during earthquake
events, highlighted the need to thoroughly investigate the seismic performance of steel …

The global ductility parameter (μ _ G)(μ G), commonly used to represent the capacity of a
structure to dissipate energy, and its effects, considered through the ductility reduction factor …

In current seismic design codes, base shear is calculated using the elastic strength demand
divided by Response Modification Factor. This factor accounts for the ability of structures to …

For economic reasons, current design philosophy allows buildings to experience inelastic
deformations under the influence of strong earthquake ground motions. As a result, the …
