Seismic design procedures in current building provisions are based on linear and nonlinear static approaches that use capacity-demand index relationships such as the relationship between the lateral strength and the maximum lateral displacement. Previous research on the development of these relationships is based on linear-elastic ground motion acceleration response spectra, whereas the current design procedures are based on "smooth" design response spectra. For the design procedures to be consistent, new capacity-demand index relationships are proposed based on smooth design response spectra...

John Knox has seldom been taken seriously as a literary figure; in fact it is often assumed that he was hostile to art of any kind. This study analyses John Knox s style of writing and suggests that Knox was one of the most highly rhetorical of all the sixteenth-century prose writers, although his prose was never decorative.
