- Abstract
The article presents a response to the discussion by Richard Redwood and Patrick Paultre on "Making use of brace overstrength to improve the seismic response of multistorey split-X concentrically braced steel frames." The authors agree that P-delta effects are typically more significant for structures designed for lower seismic loads. They also concur that the differences in base shear forces partly arise from the different site categories. Moreover, they agree with the discussers that the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) approach is applicable to a set of independent parameters and would be less appropriate for systems that are designed to reduce the concentration of inelastic demand.
