www.ce.memphis.edu•Ground motion maps provide ground accelerations in terms of response spectrum coordinates. •Equivalent lateral force procedure gives base shear in terms of design spectrum and period of vibration. •Response spectrum is based on 5% critical damping in system. •Modal superposition analysis uses design response spectrum as basic ground ...
Seismic Design of Steel Special Moment Frames
www.atcouncil.orgmapped as having the highest ground motions. Beams, columns, and beam-column connections in steel special moment frames are proportioned and detailed to resist flexural, axial, and shearing actions that result as a building sways through multiple inelastic displacement cycles during strong earthquake ground shaking. Special proportioning and ...
Intro to Structural Motion Control - Purdue University
engineering.purdue.edustructures. A rigorous theory of tuned mass dampers for SDOF systems subjected to harmonic force excitation and harmonic ground motion is discussed next. Vari-ous cases, including an undamped TMD attached to an undamped SDOF system, a damped TMD attached to an undamped SDOF system, and a damped TMD
