Abstract
The behavior of low-rise steel shear buildings, moment frame buildings,
and X-braced buildings, subjected to earthquake base motion, is studied using inelastic
time-history analysis. Two simpler methods of analysis, the modal method
and the quasi-static building code approach, are evaluated for practical use in
calculating. response quantities. The application of the results of these studies
to the practical design of buildings is discussed.National Science Foundation Grant No. AEN 75-0845
