Abstract
Strength Reduction Factors (SRFs) that Permit estimation of
inelastic strength demands from elastic strength demands are
evaluated and assessed. In recent 20 years, various studies
are performed on SRF mostly on SDOF systems. While in
SDOF systems, the SRFs depend on the system dynamic
characteristics ( i.e. structural period, displacement ductility
ratio, damping and hysteretic behaviour ) and on the ground
motion input, in MDOF systems, in addition to the above
mentioned parameters, depend on the number, the amount of
plastic deformation and the distribution of degrees of freedom
(DOFs) through height of the structures being simultaneously
in inelastic region. These effects are studied and
assessed in this paper and a three-dimensional curve is presented
on the basis of statistical study on 134 output data
which describes the relationship between the above mentioned
parameters. Comparison the results to those of another
investigators and the Codes are the last part of this
paper.
