Inclusion of P?Δ effect in displacement-based seismic design of steel moment resisting frames.

Inclusion of P?Δ effect in displacement-based seismic design of steel moment resisting frames.

A procedure for treating the P? Δ effect in the direct displacement-based seismic design of regular steel moment resisting frames with ideal elastoplastic material behaviour is proposed. A simple formula for the yield displacement amplification factor as a function of ductility and the stability coe...
