Magnitude and Distance Scaling of Engineering Demand Parameters of Moment-Resisting Frame Structures


Abstract eng:
This paper presents a mathematical formulation that directly estimates the engineering demand parameters (EDPs) of moment-resisting frames based on structural characteristics and earthquake parameters such as magnitude, source-to-site distance and local site conditions. These equations are developed for Maximum Interstory Drift Ratio (MIDR) and Roof Drift Ratio (RDR). One set of generic elastic moment-resisting frames is used to validate the proposed formulation against the results of Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA). The results confirm that the new equations provide a conservative but accurate estimate of the structural response while simplifying the computational process.
