Nonlinear analysis methods such as static pushover or limit
analysis until collapse are globally considered reliable tools for
seismic and structural assessment. But the accuracy of seismic
capacity estimates-which can prevent catastrophic loss of life and
astronomical damage repair costs-depends on the use of the correct
basic input parameters. Tools to Safeguard New Buildings and Assess
Existing Ones Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Analysis of
Reinforced Concrete Structures simplifies the estimation of base
structural parameters and enables accurate evaluation of proper
bounds for the safety factor. Many design engineers make the
relatively common mistake of using default properties of materials
as input to nonlinear analyses without realizing that any minor
variation in the nonlinear characteristics of constitutive
materials, such as concrete and steel, could result in a solution
error that leads to a disastrously incorrect assessment or
interpretation. To achieve a more accurate pushover analysis and
improve general performance-based design, this book: Reviews
relevant literature to help engineers conduct structural seismic
assessment Includes design curves, alleviating the need for complex
mathematics Offers supplementary online tools to aid in computing
any parameter Provides complete computer coding used to obtain
building collapse multipliers Reassessing key inputs, this book
analyzes boundaries using a detailed mathematical model based on
international codes. It proposes design curves and tables derived
from the authors' studies, detailing modeling numerical procedures
step by step. The authors include analytical bounds of the
structural safety factor for some typical frames, making this work
a sound and valuable tool for assessment or desi
