1. Dissipative and non-dissipative frameworks
1.1 Seismic design options
There are two approaches to designing earthquake-resistant structures. These are either :
whose cross-sections are very large and where only elastic stresses develop;
with smaller bar cross-sections, enabling the formation of numerous plastic zones.
A structure corresponding to the first option is heavier. It may not offer the safety...
