Abstract
"The object of the study was to attempt to simplify the nonlinear seismic analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The work consisted of two independent parts. One was to study the influence of calculated responses to hysteresis models used in the analysis, and to determine if satisfactory results can be obtained using less complicated models. For this part, a multi-degree analytical model was developed to work with three hysteresis systems previously proposed in addition to two systems introduced in this report. The results of experiment on a small-scale ten-story reinforced concrete frame were compared with the analytical results using different hysteresis systems. In the other part of the study, an economical simple ""single-degree"" model was introduced to calculate nonlinear displacement-response histories of structures (Q-Model)."
