Abstract
The behavior of low-rise steel shear buildings, moment frame buildings, and X-braced buildings, subjected to earthquake base motion, is studied using inelastic time-history analysis. Two simpler methods of analysis, the modal method and the quasi-static building code approach, are evaluated for practical use in calculating. response quantities. The application of the results of these studies to the practical design of buildings is discussed.
