About this document
Seismic Deformation Analysis Methods by Shivakumar Patil is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This report evaluates the simplified nonlinear analysis procedures in ATC-40 and FEMA-274 documents for estimating seismic deformation of inelastic structures. It demonstrates deficiencies in the ATC-40 procedures and develops improved capacity-demand-diagram methods that give deformation values consistent with selected inelastic design spectra while retaining graphical implementation advantages.
