Effect of Structural Characteristics Distribution on Strength Demand and Ductility Reduction Factor of MDOF Systems Considering Soil-Structure Interaction

It is known that structural stiffness and strength distributions have an important role in the seismic response of buildings. The effect of using different code-specified lateral load patterns on the seismic performance of fixed-base buildings has been investigated by researchers during the past two...
