Abstract
Steel-framed housings have a slip type force-displacement relation with low energy consumption in the slip area. The aim of this paper is to survey energy responses on Steel-Framed housing which have this type of hysteresis model under strong seismic motions. Simulated and recorded seismic waves are both used to define the influence made by their instantaneous energy input value. Seismic analyses are made by using a Steel-framed shear wall hysteresis model and by converting the building into a single as well as a multi-degree-of-freedom system. This multi-degree-of-freedom system will show the energetic properties of the building caused by the damage concentration that appears in particular story.
