(a)
Two building frames on two alternative foundation subjected to a large intensity earthquake, exceeding the design limits;
(b)
deformed mesh with
superimposed plastic strain, showing the location of “plastic hinging” at ultimate state;
(c)
bending moment–curvature response of the central columns;
(d)
overturning moment–rotation (M–
θ
) response of the two central foundations.
