Estimating seismic performance of friction damped braced frames by pushover analysis

In previous investigations [Chopra and Goel, 2001], the Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA) procedure was demonstrated to be accurate enough in estimating floor displacements and story drifts, and identifying locations of most plastic hinges for Moment Resistant Frame (MRF) systems. The principal objectiv...
