This is a Research Initiation project for FY 88  1.  The                        objectives of this research are:  (1) to calibrate the                          overstrength of typical building structures; and (2) to                         incorporate the overstrength into the derivation of inelastic                   seismic design spectra.                                                                                                                                         A series of typical multi-story building structures in high                     seismic risk regions will be designed according to the ATC 3-06                 seismic provisions.  The strengths of these structures will be                  calculated using nonlinear structural analysis computer programs.               The overstrength will be evaluated by comparing the actual and the              nominal design yield strengths.  Then the inelastic response                    spectra will be constructed for different earthquake records by                 considering the damping, ductility and overstrength evaluated from              the first stage.  Without considering the overstrength, current                 procedures for generating inelastic design spectra are semi-                    empirical.  Rational inelastic seismic design spectra for                       buildings will be developed through this research.
