Effects of higher modes and degrees of freedom on energy requirement in reinforced concrete structures with steel shear wall

It is necessary to provide seismic design criteria for structural systems in order to optimally design bending reinforced concrete frames with steel shear wall. Researchers have used energy requirements as one of the most important and efficient tools to measure and minimize cumulative damage to structures, which depend strongly on the time and duration of the earthquake. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the energy response properties of an equivalent single degree of freedom versus near pulse species acceleration accelerometers to estimate the maximum energy types and its relation to a multi degree of freedom for three reinforced concrete structures with steel shear walls, low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise under ductile coefficients of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The results of the study of the changes in the ratio of cyclic energy to total energy wasted in the structures show that in the multi-degree system the period is independent of the periodicity to the extent that the effect of higher modes is negligible. Also, by increasing the ductility coefficient, this ratio for the multi-degree system is closer to the results of the one-degree system and, in a sense, increasing the ductility coefficient results in a decrease in the effects of higher modes.
