Pushover Analysis of Open Ground Storey (OGS) Coupled with Shear Wall Considering Infill Wall Stiffness – A Case Study

Open Ground Storey buildings (OGS) are commonly constructed in the UAE, since these has some functional advantage as parking, shop etc. However, they can be a hazard during an earthquake. In this study, real building located Al Muraqqabatm Dubai is chosen. This type of OGS coupled with shearwall. To understand behaviour and strength non-linear Static Analysis (Pushover Analysis) carried out to determine force capacity by applying lateral load from different direction that will allows evaluate beyond elastic range. Building frame were analysed, for bare frames infilled frames. Seismostruct [1] software was used analyses Lateral Displacement profile, Shear, Drift Base-shear force, result generate Capacity Curve both
