Abstract:

The distribution mode of lateral displacement of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure is first deduced by taking the structure as the combination of an ideal shear-type structure and an ideal flexural-type struc-ture and by adopting a general equivalent static load distribution mode. Next , the effects of shear to flexural ratio and loading distribution mode on the displacement response are discussed. Then , by predicting the first mode shape , a method to calculate the seismic elastic displacement response of the structure is proposed according to the displacement response spectrum. Moreover, the variations of displacement response and inter-storey drift ratio with the height are analyzed , and the maximal seismic inelastic displacement is also evaluated by the inelastic inter-storey displacement amplification factor. A numerical example is finally presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed simplified method.
