Effects of Strength and Stiffness Degradation on Seismic Response
This document is a follow-on publication to Improvement of Nonlinear Static Seismic Analysis Procedures (FEMA 440). It provides information that will improve nonlinear analysis
for cyclic response, considering cyclic and in-cycle degradation of strength
and stiffness. Recent work has demonstrated that it is important to be able to
differentiate between cyclic and in-cycle degradation in order to more
accurately model degrading behavior, while current practice only recognizes
cyclic degradation, or does not distinguish between the two. The material
contained within this publication is expected to improve nonlinear modeling
of structural systems, and ultimately make the seismic retrofit of existing
hazardous buildings more cost-effective.
