Rigid plastic approximation to predict plastic motion under strong earthquakes.
The paper shows that the rigid plastic oscillator can be used to evaluate the maximum plastic displacement of any elastic plastic oscillator under any earthquake. Motivated by this result a rigid plastic response spectrum is introduced, which provides an easy method to calculate the maximum plastic...
