Abstract

This report presents findings, conclusions, and recommendations resulting from a review of available research and practice regarding nonlinear multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) effects, and focused analytical studies targeted to investigate selected issues related to MDOF modeling and response characteristics. The report is organized into two parts: (1) a main volume of summary information and conclusions; and (2) supporting documentation. This volume, Supporting Documentation, contains appendices that provide detailed reporting on the focused analytical studies, ancillary studies, and literature review activities that formed the basis of the findings.
