Ductility Factor (D/D2)
|
|
|
Check the ductility factor by using the ratio of the inelastic hinge deformation resulting from the time history analysis to the 2nd yield deformation specified by the user in a spreadsheet table format. D/D2 is the ratio of the inelastic hinge deformation resulting from the time history analysis to the 2nd yield deformation specified by the user. Table Tool in midas Civil offers a variety of powerful built-in functions. Refer to Usage of Table Tool for detail directions: |
