Abstract
It is well recognized that Displacement Ductility Factor
(DDF) could not be sufficiently efficient in structural earthquake-
resistant design and other structural dynamic characteristics
together with seismic parameters are required to be
taken into account. In this paper, effort is made reasonably to
determine Hysteretic Energy Capacity (HEC) of a SDOF
system as cumulative damage parameter that the system sustains
it in ultimate limit state. Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF) concept
and Coffin-Manson law employed for introducing a new
energy based damage index. Statistical analysis on hysteretic
energy in each half cycle used for obtaining HEC. Inelastic
analysis results indicated that the hysteretic energy in each
half cycle could be well modeled by the truncated Gamma
distribution. According to the proposed energy based damage
model, the dynamic HEC not only depends on structural
characteristics, but is also related to the earthquake demands.
Plots of energy-based spectra obtained from hundreds analysis
and graph related to HEC calculation presented which can
be used in energy based design approach.
