Generally, the response <strong>of</strong> HFB2 was expected to provide larger momentresistance and lower inter-story drifts, which can be seen in Figures 8 and 9 for theinput motions corresponding to EQ-I through EQ-III. At EQ-IV, the maximum interstoryand maximum average frame drifts obtained for HFB2 were greater or equal tothose obtained for HFB1 (see Table 3 and Figure 8), emphasizing the dependency <strong>of</strong>the building responses on the frequency contents <strong>of</strong> the input earthquakes. Whencompared to the response at the lower intensity motions, the maximum transient drift<strong>of</strong> HFB1 appears to be small at EQ-IV and was found to be influenced by a largedisplacement excursion in the opposite direction response immediately prior toexperiencing the maximum inter-story drift. It is expected that HFB2 will generallyproduce smaller drifts than HFB1 for other EQ-IV level motions, which will beinvestigated as part <strong>of</strong> an ongoing study.Average frame drift (%)3.02.52.01.51.00.50.00.5EQ-IHFB2 (FBD)HFB1 (DBD)EQ-IEQ-IIEQ-IIIEQ-IV0 10 20 30 40 50Time (sec.)Figure 8.
