| Summary: | determining the ductility of an existing lightly facilitated by the presence of in-plane walls. However, In the past, intake towers built by the Corp of Engineers inelastic deformation. The analyses, performed with larger ductility values were calculated for reservoirs modeled using DRAIN-2DX, a dynamic analysis program for personal computers which incorporates the effects of ratios below code specified minimums was selected and redistribute loads away from yielded sections. Also, reinforced concrete hydraulic structure. An intake the calculated ductility values may be exaggerated due to the elastic panel elements in the model which This study investigates an economic approach to three separate earthquake acceleration time histories for tower, typical of older structure, with reinforcing steel values. The results indicate that ductility is various model conditions, produced a range of ductility were designed without consideration of seismic effects. with water than for empty reservoirs. |
