On the behavior of 2D frames with different lateral load resisting systems

This paper investigates the results of the static and dynamic analysis of several different 2D frames which demonstrate specific responses to earthquake loads in categories like drift, energyabsorption, response modification factor and sequences of element failure. Each single structuralsystem which has been examined in this paper is designed to have a seismic capacity that covers and exceeds the anticipated seismic demand. The capacity of the structure is a complex function of strength, stiffness and deformability conjectured by the system configuration and material properties of the structure. The results are extensively informative that encompass diverse fields of future studies
