Abstract
A practical system for earthquake-resistant building design is describ ed. The system utilizes Teflon sliders at the top of the first-storey reinforced concrete framed shearwalls to carry a portion of the supers tructure. The earthquake forces are basically resisted by the first-st orey reinforced concrete framed shearwalls, and energy dissipation is provided by the first-storey ductile columns and by the Teflon sliders . Utilizing this concept the seismic response characteristics of a mul tistorey frame are analysed and discussed.
