Ductility and Strength Reduction Factors for Degrading Structures Considering Cumulative Damage

The effect of cumulative damage on the strength requirements of degrading structures is assessed through the evaluation of the target ductility and corresponding strength reduction factors of simple degrading structures. While the reduction on ductility is established through the use of Park and Ang...
