Dear visu & other members,
The topic here is calculating R via pushover, or can be said as "refined seismic design process" using real/actual "R" where "R" calculated from pushover analysis.
Btw, based on your experience calculate "R" using pushover analysis, :
1) for RC SMRF ( R theory = 8.5 in ubc 1997 ), what "R" value you got ( averagely ) from pushover analysis ?
2) for Dual System ( RC Shear Wall + RC SMRF, R theory for this dual system = 8.5 in ubc 1997 ), what "R" value you got ( averagely ) from pushover analysis ?
I want to know & compare it with my own experience, to know whether the process of my calculation is correct or not.
Thanks for your time & your answer
Regards
Paladin
