Optimum Strength Distribution for Structures with Metallic Dampers Subjected to Seismic Loading

A key aspect of the seismic design of structures is the distribution of the lateral strength, because it governs the distribution of the cumulative plastic strain energy (i.e., the damage) among the stories. The lateral shear strength of a story <i>i</i> is commonly normalized by the upw...
