Towards a new base shear format in future NBCC seismic provisions
Abstract
Recent trends in the specifications of earthquake design forces are moving away from spectral amplification of ground motion towards direct evaluation of spectral values. Also, the 1988 Saguenay earthquake produced strong evidence for the need to modify the present provisions for low period structures in eastern North America. A new database consisting of 75 time histories was assembled and an extensive parametric study was undertaken to …
