Abstract:In this paper, the total input earthquake energy and influencing effects for shear type,shear-bending type, bending type aseismic structures of the single freedom system and multiple freedom elastic-plastic system are analyzed by synthesizing various effects and employing the timehistory analysis method. Based on the analysis results, the total input earthquake energy spectrum is presented.The simplified methods for analyzing the total input energy of multiple freedom elastic-plastic systems are proposed to provide some basis for developing aseismic structure design method and Double-Failure Criteria.
