Evaluation of Earthquake Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings by Nonlinear Methods

Öz

Almost all of our country is within the domains of active faults. Due to urbanization and population growth, the devastating effect of the earthquake is increasing every day. For this reason, it is of great importance to determine the earthquake performances of the structures and to build earthquake resistant structures according to the determined performances. Earthquake-resistant structure the main purpose of the design is to provide sufficient resistance to future loads throughout the life of the structure. In the designs made, the biggest challenges faced are the identification of the effects caused by the earthquake. Linear and nonlinear analysis methods are used in the design of structural systems. Today, they are nonlinear analyses in the field of time-definition, which best reflect the modeling of real behavior and structural seismic behavior. As part of this study, nonlinear pushover and dynamic analysis were performed in terms of studying the earthquake behavior of a concrete frame building. As a result of these analyses, it was seen which analysis method is appropriate in terms of determining the earthquake behavior of the structure more accurately.
