A procedure for evaluating seismic energy demand of framed structures.

Energy serves as an alternative index to response quantities like force or displacement to include the duration related seismic damage effect. A procedure fo evaluate the absorbed energy in a multistorey frame from energy spectra was developed. For low to medium rise frames, it required a static pus...
