An improved direct displacement-based design (DDBD) method for the seismic design of
three types of plane steel frames, ie, moment-resisting frames (MRFs), steel eccentrically …

Two new structure-specific scalar intensity measures for plane steel frames under far-field
earthquakes are proposed. These intensity measures of the spectral acceleration and …

This paper reviews the applications of the multi degree-of-freedom (MDOF) equivalent linear
system in seismic analysis and design of planar steel and reinforced concrete framed …

This paper presents state-of-the-art review of force reduction factor evaluation for the main
traditional steel lateral load resisting systems: moment resisting frames, concentrically …

A new method for the estimation of inelastic displacements of steel moment resisting frames
(MRFs) under strong seismic ground motions is presented. The method comes as an …

A force-based seismic design method for eccentrically braced and buckling-restrained
braced plane steel frames is proposed. The method makes use of equivalent modal …

Modal behavior (strength reduction) factors q ̅ k for the performance-based seismic design
of plane reinforced concrete wall-frame dual systems and infilled moment resisting frames …

Designers usually use modal response spectrum analysis (MRSA) in design of tall buildings.
This paper studies the reliability of this technique in predicting real seismic behavior of tall …

This paper establishes the concept of the multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) response
spectrum as a means for the rapid determination of the peak response of a building …

When evaluating the seismic safety and reliability of complex engineering structures, it is a
critical problem to reasonably consider the randomness and multi-dimensional nature of …
