Experiments to Study the Earthquake Response of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Setbacks (NEES-2011-1068)

<p>Title: Experiments to Study the Earthquake Response of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Setbacks (NEES-2011-1068)</p> <p><b>Year Of Curation: </b>2012</p> <p><b>Description: </b>Traditionally, building codes for earthquake-resistant design in the United States have separated buildings into two classes with respect to the distribution of mass, stiffness, and strength over the height of the structure. Buildings which do not have a reasonably uniform distribution of these attributes have been classified as being irregular. While simplified design procedures, such as the Equivalent Lateral Force method, may be used for regular buildings, special design procedures, such as linear dynamic analysis, are required for irregular buildings.</p> <p><b>Award: </b>NSF CEE 81-14977</p> <p><b>PIs & CoPIs: </b>Mete Sozen, Sharon Wood</p> <p><b>Dates: </b>January 20, 1983 - April 06, 1984</p> <p><b>Organizations: </b>University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, United States</p> <p><b>Facilities: </b>University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, United States</p> <p><b>Sponsor: </b>NSF CEE - 81-14977</p> <p><b>Keywords: </b>Building Setbacks, Irregularities, Shake table</p> <p><b>Publications: </b>"Experiments to Study the Earthquake Response of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Setbacks" </p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
