Therefore, accurate determination of these lateral stiffness components constitutes one of the major issues in establishing reliable continuum models even if the proposed solution is an approximation to actual structural behavior. This study first examines

A new methodology for adapting the heightwise variation of lateral stiffness to continuum model is presented based o

Later, the continuous shear beam model has been implemented by many researchers (e.g. Iwan 1997； Glkan and Akkar 2002； Akkar et al. 2005； Chopra and Chintanapakdee 2001) to approximate the earthquake induced deformation demands on frame systems.

13、 The idea of using equivalent shear beams was extended to the combination of continuous shear and flexural beams by Khan and Sbarounis (1964). Heidebrecht and Stafford Smith (1973) defined a continuum model (hereinafter HS73) for approximating tall shear wall-frame type structures that is based on t

Miranda (1999) presented the solution of this PDE under a set of lateral static loading cases to approximate the maximum roof and interstory drift demands on first-mode dominant structures. Later, Heidebrecht and Rutenberg (2000) show

Miranda and Taghavi (2005) used the HS73 model to acquire the approximate structural behavior up to 3 modes. As a follow up study, Miranda and Akkar (2006) extended the use of HS73

More recently, Gengshu et al. (2008) studied the second order and buckling effects on buildings through the closed

This flaw has also restricted the efficient use of continuum model beyond elastic limits because the nonlinear behavior of continuum models is dictated by the changes in EI and GA in the post-yielding stage &n

19、bsp;   This paper focuses on the realistic determination of lateral stiffness for continuum models. EI and GA defined in discrete systems are adapted to continuum models through an analytical expression that considers the heightwise variation of boundary conditions in discrete systems. The HS73

The proposed analytical expression is evaluated by comparing the deformation patterns of continuum model and actual discrete systems under the first-mode co

The improvements on the determination of EI and GA are combined with a second procedure that is based on limit state analysis to describe the global capacity of structures responding beyond their elastic limits.

The inertia terms Ib1 and Ib2 that are divided by the total lengths l1 and l2, respectively, define the relative rigidities of beams
