the erthq is an increasing horiz force, from 0 till the value that produces failure

of the structure
we choose the minimum value between the stories of the overstrength factor because
we do not want the column to plastify before any link.
the links have the abiity to go plastic and to dissipate energy and we dont want to
waste posibilities of dissipatng energy
we shouldnt oversize too much the links; less than25%

1.5 - factor depending on the way that the c-s goes plastic; theese links can
resist a lot in shear force

gamma ov - oerstrength factor; the ratio between the average value of the yielding
limit of the steel grade and the nominal value
from test specinems - 95 % of the cases
the avereage value of the yielding limit is in fact bigger in 95% of the cases.
due to the fact that this is a dissipative zone we want to estimate as accurate as
possible the resistance of these plastic zones
not underestimate->bc danger
takes into account the fact that the link could resist more
the bigger the value, the poorer the production process of that specific steel
grade
