R/C Frame Models: SIP Studies on Seismic Response
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 12
Abstract
An application of the System Identification Parameters method to simulated earthquake tests of 10‐story three‐bay reinforced concrete frame models is presented. Brief descriptions of the frame models and simulated earthquake tests, as well as the System Identification Parameters method in general, are provided. Then a special System Identification Parameters scheme is formulated to determine the optimum apparent structural system (a omputer model) which will produce the response closest to the recorded response of a frame model when subjected to the same base motion. This is done by varying apparent damage ratios of the structural members through a nonlinear optimization routine. The comparative discussion of six case studies pointed out the need for more sensitivity studies before stable and dependable results can be produced by this method.
