The Relationship

It is important for obtaining the relationship between seismic energies of single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems and multiple degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures in engineering. In this paper, the formula of hysteretic energy between the MDOF structures and equivalent SDOF systems is developed. Here is also presented the procedure for estimating hysteretic energy of MDOF structures subjected to severe ground motions employing the energy relation equation based on equivalent SDOF systems. Eight examples for two regular and six irregular MDOF structures show that the procedure to obtain the hysteretic energy demands of MDOF structures may be used as a simple and effective energy estimation method.

Spectral Dispersion

Conditional spectral dispersion ( CSD) is a measure of response spectrum variability that implicitly characterizes the variety of spectral shapes within a suite of ground motions. It is used here to explain the discrepancy between median structural demands estimated from different suites of scaled and spectrum-matched ground motions. Performing response history analyses with spectrum-matched ground motions is known to result in unconservatively biased median demand estimates in some cases. Herein, several suites of scaled ground motions with equivalent median intensities and varying levels of CSD are selected. A single suite of spectrum-matched ground motions is also created. These records are used to analyze the responses of inelastic single-degree-of-freedom and first-mode-dominated multiple-degree-of-freedom structural systems. Collapse capacities are also examined. A consistent trend between CSD and resulting median responses indicates that the bias phenomenon can be fully explained by an asymmetric relationship between conditional spectral ordinates at periods affecting inelastic response.
