Investigation of dynamic P-delta effect on ductility factor
Sang Whan Han, Oh-Sung Kwon and Li-Hyung Lee(Korea)
Abstract
Current seismic design provisions allow structures to deform into inelastic range during<br />design level earthquakes since the chance to meet such event is quite rare. For this purpose, design base<br />shear is defined in current seismic design provisions as the value of elastic seismic shear force divided by<br />strength reduction factor, R (
Key Words
P-D effect; strength reduction factor; ductility factor.
