abstract

the nonlinear static pushover analysis technique is mostly used in the performance-based design of structures and it is favored over nonlinear response history analysis. however, the pushover analysis with fema load distributions losses its accuracy in estimating seismic responses of long period structures when higher mode effects are important. some procedures have been offered to consider this effect. fema and modal pushover analysis (mpa) are addressed in the current study and compared with inelastic response history analysis. these procedures are applied to medium high-rise (10 and 15 storey) and high-rise (20 and 30 storey) frames efficiency and limitations of them are elaborated. mpa procedure present significant advantage over fema load distributions in predicting storey drifts, but the both are thoroughly unsuccessful to predict hinge plastic rotations with acceptable accuracy. it is demonstrated that the seismic demands determined with mpa procedure will be unsatisfactory in nonlinear systems subjected to individual ground motions which inelastic sdf systems related to significant modes of the buildings respond beyond the elastic limit. therefore, it’s inevitable to avoid evaluating seismic demands of the buildings based on individual ground motion with mpa procedure.

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...

An Energy Based Adaptive Pushover Analysis for Nonlinear Static Procedures

Nonlinear static procedure (NSP) is a common technique to predict seismic demands on various building structures by subjecting a monotonically increasing horizontal loading (pushover) to the structure. Therefore, the pushover analysis is an important part of each NSP. Accordingly, the current paper aims at investigating the efficiencyof various algorithms of lateral load patterns applied to the...

Modal Pushover Analysis of SAC Buildings

The nonlinear static procedure (NSP) or pushover analysis in FEMA-273 [FEMA, 1997] has become a standard procedure in current structural engineering practice. Seismic demands are computed by nonlinear static analysis of the structure, which is subjected to monotonically increasing lateral forces with an invariant height-wise distribution until a target displacement is reached. None of the curre...

Modal Pushover Seismic Analysis of Sac Buildings excluding Gravity Loads

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.

Proposal of lateral load pattern for pushover analysis of RC buildings

The proposal lateral load pattern for pushover analysis is given in two forms for symmetric concrete buildings: 1-(X/H)0.5 for low-rise and mid-rise buildings, 2- Sin(ΠX/H) for high-rise buildings. These two forms give more realistic results as compared to conventional load patterns such as triangular and uniform load patterns. The assumed buildings of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 30 story concrete bui...
