Ductility of a 60-Story Shearwall Frame-Belt Truss (Virtual Outrigger) Building

Abstract: Researches have been conducted to study Shearwall-frame combined with belt truss as structural system (SFBT), in which the post-elastic behavior and ductility of this structural system are explored. A 60-story SFBT building, with a ductility set equal to 3.75 (value for fully ductile cantilever wall) is considered. The Elastic Response Spectrum used for design is taken from Zone 2 of …
