Strain Rate Effect on the Progressive Collapse Analysis of RC Frame Structure under Earthquake

Table 5

Collapse-resistant capability of the RC structure subjected to three-component directional excitation.

Earthquake wave	Considering strain rate effect	Without considering strain rate effect
El Centro (1940)	5.0 m/s^2	4.5 m/s^2
Taft (1952)	4.5 m/s^2	4.0 m/s^2
Tianjin (1976)	3.0 m/s^2	2.5 m/s^2
