Modal Pushover Seismic Analysis of Sac Buildings excluding Gravity Loads
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evaluated is the accuracy of the modal pushover analysis in estimating the seismic demands for six SAC buildings, excluding gravity-loads and P-delta effects. These results are compared with those obtained by nonlinear response history analysis and three force distributions in FEMA-273.

Evaluation of Modal and FEMA Pushover Analyses: SAC Buildings
This paper comprehensively evaluates the Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA) procedure against the ‘‘exact’’ nonlinear response history analysis (RHA) and investigates the accuracy of seismic demands determined by pushover analysis using FEMA-356 force distributions; the MPA procedure in this paper contains several improvements over the original version presented in Chopra and Goel (2002). Seismic de...
متن کاملRole of Higher-“Mode” Pushover Analyses in Seismic Analysis of Buildings
The role of higher-“mode” pushover analyses in seismic analysis of buildings is examined in this paper. It is demonstrated that the higher-“mode” pushover curves reveal plastic hinge mechanisms that are not detected by the first-“mode” or other FEMA-356 force distributions, but these purely local mechanisms are not likely to develop during realistic ground motions in an otherwise regular buildi...
متن کاملA Simplified Modal Pushover Analysis-based Method for Incremental Dynamic Analysis of Regular RC Moment-resisting Frames
Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) procedure is now considered as a robust tool for estimating the seismic sidesway collapse capacity of structures. However, the procedure is time-consuming and requires numerous nonlinear response-history analyses. This paper proposes a simplified Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA) procedure for IDA of RC moment-resisting frames. The proposed method uses the dynamic...

متن کاملPerformance Based Seismic Rehabilitation of Steel Structures with Different Types of Shear Walls
Seismic rehabilitation provides existing buildings with more resistance to seismic activity, ground motion, or geotechnical failure due to earthquakes. Performance-based rehabilitation is a general concept through which the retrofitting criteria are defined regarding to performance objectives when the structural and nonstructural members are subject to different levels of earthquake hazards. In...
