Seismic Response of Multistory Buildings
As discussed in Chapters 2 and 3, the seismic performance of a structure depends on its normalized strength, deformability, and damping. Normalized strength is the lateral strength of a structure divided by its weight. Due to its much higher weight, a multistory building generally has smaller normalized strength than a one-story building. Due to cumulative nature of story deformations, a multistory building is much more deformable than a one-story building. Therefore, the height of a building does not make it more vulnerable to seismic shaking. Through flexural yielding in beams at various levels, a multistory building can significantly enhance its deformability and damping. Flexural yielding should not be confined to a single story and it should occur before brittle failures. This chapter discusses the seismic response of multistory building frames.
