This paper explores the development of a method that is useful for design of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures to resist earthquakes. The substitute structure method, originally proposed in the 1970s, makes an analogy between viscously damped linear and hysteretic response for the purpose of estimating maximum displacement. The evolution of the method is retraced in order to emphasize its unique reliance on experimental results, which are needed to establish rules for assignment of substitute linear properties. Recent dynamic test results are used to extend significantly the calibration of the method, which furnishes design loads on the basis of drift and damage control.

Rc Frame Structures

The fundamental period is one of the most critical parameters for the seismic design of structures. There are several literature approaches for its estimation which often conflict with each other, making their use questionable. Furthermore, the majority of these approaches do not take into account the presence of infill walls into the structure despite the fact that infill walls increase the stiffness and mass of structure leading to significant changes in the fundamental period. In the present paper, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used to predict the fundamental period of infilled reinforced concrete (RC) structures. For the training and the validation of the ANN, a large data set is used based on a detailed investigation of the parameters that affect the fundamental period of RC structures. The comparison of the predicted values with analytical ones indicates the potential of using ANNs for the prediction of the fundamental period of infilled RC frame structures taking into account the crucial parameters that influence its value.
