Description

Most structures designed according to current code provisions will sustain residual deformations in the event of a design-level earthquake, even if they perform exactly as expected. Despite this reality, little consideration is currently given to residual deformations when assessing the seismic performance or in the design of seismic resistant structures. Parameters influencing residual deformations are first identified and a framework for evaluating performance based on a combination of maxi...
