Abstract
AbstractThe main purpose of this paper is to propose a model for estimating the hysteresis damping ratio of moment steel frames and compare them with the results obtained using direct displacement-based design. In this study, different models of steel bending frames were examined by using several type of analysis to obtain this ratio. Thirty-steel frame models with 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 floors and 3 and 6 bay with 6 m span length were analyzed and evaluated. The results showed that the equivalent damping ratio at the level of safety based on Jacobsen and Jennings, and the values of the equivalent damping relationships according to FEMA-440 vary from the empirical formula proposed in displacement-based design-2012. Therefore, in the ductility domain the exponential relationship form was more consistent with the results used. A new formula was proposed to calculate the hysteresis damping ratio, and it is more accurate than the empirical formula proposed in displacement-based design-2012.
