Influence of the story stiffness of reinforced concrete frame with proportional hysteretic dampers on the seismic response

This paper investigates the influence of the story stiffness of reinforced concrete (R/C) frame on the seismic response of R/C buildings with proportional hysteretic dampers. For this purpose, non-linear time-history analyses were conducted on a series of multi-degree-of-freedom system models that i...
