Inelastic Response Evaluation of Structures using Capacity Spectrum Method

역량스펙트럼 방법을 이용한 구조물의 비탄성 응답의 평가

To evaluate seismic performance of bridges, two procedures far capacity spectrum method are presented. The capacity spectrum procedures include the reduction factor-ductility-period relationship in order to construct the inelastic demand spectra from the elastic demand spectra. Application of the procedures is illustrated by example analysis. Maximum displacements estimated by the procedures are compared to those by inelastic time history analysis for several artificial earthquakes. The results show that the maximum displacements estimated by the procedures are, on overall, smaller than those by the inelastic time history analysis
