Important Attributes for Seismic Design
The attributes, relevant to earthquake resistant design, are described. The reader will get acquainted with properties of reinforced concrete and masonry units to the extent that they relate to cyclic loading. Other attributes that are described in detail are damping, ductility, mass, lateral stiffness and strength. After a precise definition of degree of freedom, the methods of evaluating distortions under various modes of vibration are explained. Examples at end of the chapter illustrate the methods for evaluation of various damping parameters such as critical damping, logarithmic decrement and damping coefficient. These examples cover evaluation of energy dissipation, obtaining damped and undamped frequencies of vibration and calculation of various forms of ductility such as curvature ductility, rotational ductility, etc., as well as frequencies of vibration along six degrees of freedom.
