A Method to Estimate Effective Viscous Damping Ratio and Restoring Force From the Dynamic Response Data of Structures

Dynamic response of structures is a complex process that is not well-understood. Seismic design codes allow structural systems of buildings to behave inelastically during strong ground shaking. While hysteretic energy dissipation due to inelastic behavior is rather well-understood, there exist other...
