| Abstract | The influence of strain hardening on the response of structures
to earthquake motions is investigated by treating a single degree of freedom system. An idealized bilinear resisting force-displacement relation for a shear frame derived from an idealized elastic-strain hardening moment-curvature relation is used in the analysis. Response
spectra for El Centro earthquake, May 1940 are generated for various values of strain hardening coefficient and ductility factor. The linear acceleration method is used ·for numerical integration of the
equation of motion. The results reveal that the inelastic behavior effectively reduces the response, for the case of no damping, in a similar manner as the effect of damping on the response of the elastic system. The optimum
response spectra, the optimum values of the yield displacements at which the corresponding maximum displacement responses are minimum, are also studied. |
