Modification Factor

Conventional seismic analysis of structure incorporates only elastic response of the structure. To understand nonlinear response of the structure, Performance Based Design (PBD) approach is widely used. PBD includes Pushover analysis i.e. nonlinear static analysis, which shows the post-elastic behaviour of the structure. IS 1893-2002 incorporates the nonlinear response of a structure considering response reduction factor (R) so that a linear elastic force based approach can be used for design. The response modification factor plays a key role in the seismic design of new buildings. However, the Indian code does not provide information on the components of R factor. The values assigned to this factor is based on engineering judgment. The study includes the calculation of value R based on different components as per ATC-19 and compares values of R for Special Moment resisting frame (SMRF) and Ordinary Moment resisting frames (OMRF) for two different seismic zones. An improvement in the reliability of modern earthquake-resistant buildings will require the systematic evaluation of the building response characteristics, which mostly affects the values assigned to the factor.

Diagrid Structure

The diagrid structure system has recently gained popularity as an effective structural system for high rise buildings. The effectiveness of the system relies on the truss action developed by the perimeter diagrid system to resist lateral loads. In active seismic zones, ductile performance of the lateral resisting system is highly desired to dissipate energy developed in the structure from the ground shaking. In this study, the seismic performance of the diagrid system is investigated. Non-linear static pushover analysis followed by non-linear dynamic analysis were conducted to study the inelastic behaviour of diagrid systems. Through methods of analysis, the response modification factor of the modelled system was calculated. The results indicate that the reserve strength of a diagrid system is comparable to and often greater than that of many other lateral structure systems, such as steel special truss moment resisting frames and other structural systems as prescribed by the ASCE 7-10.

Code Procedure

A common and successful way of structural control is to dissipate the seismic kinetic energy via frictional dampers. Response of a friction damped frame during an earthquake excitation is heavily dependent to the slippage limit of the frictional dampers. Low values of slippage load may lead to excessive deformations while large slippage loads may prevent sliding. Therefore, selecting appropriate values for slippages loads of the dampers is very important in order to have optimum energy dissipating system. Utilizing a response modification factor, the standard seismic design code procedure can be applied to the frames equipped with frictional dampers to determine the value of slippage loads. In this investigation, the response modification factor of steel moment resisting frames equipped with frictional dampers is evaluated considering the effects of various slippage loads. The response modification factor is calculated for two bay widths of 5 m and 7 m in length. It is shown that the optimum slippage load that results in the maximum response modification factor is in the range of 8% to 20% of the total weight of the structure. The taller the structure is, the less the optimum slippage load will be. Finally, an equation is proposed for the response modification factor as a function of the slippage load.

The reliability of advanced nonlinear static procedures to estimate deformation demands of steel momentresisting frames under seismic loads is investigated. The advantages of refined adaptive and multimodal pushover procedures over conventional methods based on invariant lateral load patterns are evaluated. In particular, their computational attractiveness and capability of providing satisfactory predictions of seismic demands in comparison with those obtained by conventional force-based methods are examined. The results obtained by the static advanced methods, used in the form of different variants of the original Capacity Spectrum Method and Modal Pushover Analysis, are compared with the results of nonlinear response history analysis. Both effectiveness and accuracy of these approximated methods are verified through an extensive comparative study involving both regular and irregular steel moment resisting frames subjected to different acceleration records.

Modification Factor

In recent years, because of the older version code, inadequate design, lacks of construction supervision, change in loading pattern, damages and casualties of earthquakes or environmental degradation, buildings at risk need to be investigated frequently for safety purpose. To increase the strength and ductility capacities of deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams, columns and beam-column joints, retrofitting may require. In this paper, a numerical investigation using nonlinear static pushover analysis is conducted to assess the seismic behavior of existing moment resisting RC frames. In numerical modeling, different plastic hinge lengths as well as different concrete ultimate strain conditions of RC members are considered. Pushover analysis has been carried out with the commercial software ETABS v.9.6.0 to evaluate structural behavior of RC frames located in a seismic region. Hinge properties simulating moment-rotation behavior of frame members considering different plastic hinge lengths as well as concrete ultimate strains are evaluated. Pushover curves are compared with each other to determine the plastic hinge length and strain values which provide better agreement with that of the default properties. Seismic performance criteria in terms of ductility, overstrength as well as response modification factor for frames are determined from pushover curves. From the analyses in general, the load carrying capacity as well as displacement at maximum lateral load and interstory drift index at any floor level of RC frames is assessed.
