Evaluation of a Simplified Method to Estimate the Peak Inter-Story Drift Ratio of Steel Frames with Hysteretic Dampers

In this paper, a simplified method is proposed to estimate the peak inter-story drift ratios of steel frames with hysteretic dampers. The simplified method involved the following: (1) the inelastic spectral displacement is estimated using a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system with multi-springs,...
