Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete by Giorgio, Luciano , and Chandrasekaran 12

Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete by Giorgio, Luciano , and Chandrasekaran

Nonlinear analysis methods such as static pushover are globally considered a reliable tool for seismic and structural assessment. But the accuracy of seismic capacity estimates—which can prevent catastrophic loss of life and astronomical damage repair costs—depends on the use of the correct basic input parameters.
