Direct use of PGV for estimating peak nonlinear oscillator displacements.

Direct use of PGV for estimating peak nonlinear oscillator displacements.

A predictive model is presented for estimating the peak inelastic oscillator displacements (Sd,ie) from peak ground velocity (PGV). The proposed model accounts for the variation of Sd,ie for bilinear hysteretic behavior under constant ductility (µ) and normalized lateral strength ratio (R) associate...
