Relación entre la factor de comportamiento y la demanda de ductilidad en función de distintas características sísmicas

Abstract

Design standards allows designing for reduced seismic force in terms of behaviour ductility factor, which is tabulated in codes for different structural systems. However, its values differ significantly in different countries. Although failure can be avoided, damage can be significant and difficult to control with the standard procedure. This research will investigate the effects of different behaviour factors on the ductility demand, which is representative of the expected damage, for different types of earthquakes, hysteresis shapes and systems.
