NONLINEAR PUSH OVER ANALYSIS FOR HIGH RISE R/C FRAME STRUCTURES
Abstract
Performance based design is commonly used to evaluate the nonlinear behavior and seismic demands of structures under earthquake effects by performing pushover and time history analyses. It is suggested to use the pushover analysis for performance based design in FEMA and ATC which are pre-standard for retrofitting and design. It is a fact that time history analysis is more accurate but time consumer and very complicated. Due to the technical difficulties in Nonlinear time history analysis, Push Over analysis is suggested for nonlinear earthquake evaluation. The main purpose of this recent study is to evaluate the push over analysis for high rise frame structures with various load distributions (patterns) and variety of natural periods by performing pushover and nonlinear dynamic time history analyses. The load distributions for pushover analyses are chosen as rectangular and triangular which are commonly used. The four frame structures used in this study are typically reinforced concrete (R/C) high rise frame structures with different natural periods. To evaluate the results from the pushover analyses for different load distributions, the nonlinear dynamic time history analyses are performed with 30 real earthquake ground motions records. The records are from 30 different stations during various earthquakes all over the world.
