Methods for the Determination of the Response Reduction Factor of the Seismic Forces
Journal: Journal of Building Technology DOI: 10.32629/jbt.v7i1.3741
Abstract
The various analytical methods and procedures for determining the response reduction factor for seismic forces in buildings are presented. A critical analysis of the earthquake-resistant design codes of different countries is then conducted, with the aim of determining how they consider the response reduction factor. The main positive aspects for their possible use in the Cuban Earthquake-Resistant Code are also analyzed.
