Equivalent Viscous Damping Ratio Model for Flexure Critical Reinforced Concrete Columns

In order to determine the energy dissipation capacity of flexure critical reinforced concrete (RC) columns reasonably, an expression for describing the hysteretic behavior including loading and unloading characteristics of flexure critical RC columns is presented, and then, a new equivalent viscous...
