Strength or force reduction factors for steel buildings: MDOF vs SDOF systems

The nonlinear seismic responses of steel buildings with perimeter moment resisting frames (MRF), modeled as complex 3D MDOF systems, are calculated and the ductility demands, ductility reduction factors and the force reduction factors (R), are studied. Equivalent 3D models with spatial MRF, two-dime...
