Numerical Investigation of Deflection Amplification Factor in Moment Resisting Frames Using Nonlinear Pushover Analysis

Authors : Ramin Taghinezhad ; Arash Taghinezhad , Vahid Mahdavifar , Vafa Soltangharaei Abstract – The lateral deflections were obtained from an elastic analysis under seismic loads are much lower than actual deflections which building structures must withstand during strong ground motions. Recent building codes increased the elastic deflection by an amplification factor which is a […]
