ON THE CONVERSION OF A HYSTERETIC STRUCTURE INTO THE SYSTEM WITH EQUIVALENT RESTORING FORCE (PART 4) : Examples of Earthquake Response of Yielding Structures with Power Functional Hysteretic System

Abstract

In the previous paper, We have reported as to the three methods of seismic analysis or the power functional hysteretic system. In this paper, We showed two examples of numerical calculation of seismic analysis on a second storied wooden house and a seven storied steel structure, and discussed these results. From investigating as to the accuracy of two approximate methods, we obtained adequate results to use them practically.
