EFFECT OF YIELD DEFORMATION MODELS ON THE MAXIMUM EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE EVALUATION OF BUILDINGS

Abstract

This paper proposes the equations to predict the seismic response of the buildings whose yield deformation angles depend on the horizontal strength, based on the equivalent linearization method. Then, the paper discussed the difference and characteristic of the seismic performance of the buildings due to the types of the yield deformation angle. Finally, the paper presents the approximate equations of the seismic response in the form of the function of the factors used in the Calculation of Lateral Load Carrying Capacity, and discusses the difference between the Calculation of Response and Limit Strength and the Calculation of Lateral Load Carrying Capacity.
