Comparison of Nonlinear Static and Dynamic Analyses on a R/C Building

Abstract

Abstract-In recent years, nonlinear calculation methods can be easily carried out by means of developing computer technologies. In this way, comparisons of the nonlinear methods have started to increase rapidly and more studies are carried out on regular and irregular buildings. However, it is most important to compare consistency of the methods on buildings. In this study, most common nonlinear static (pushover) and nonlinear dynamic analysis (time history analysis) methods were compared on an asymmetric planned reinforced concrete (R/C) building. Building having horizontal and vertical irregularities was 5-story. Analyses were carried out by using SAP2000 program. The results are discussed in terms of base shear, lateral displacements and top displacement ratios.

“…Inelastic behavior includes to solution by specific coefficients. Results obtained from elastic analyses are lower realistic than inelastic analyses (Tekin, Gürbüz et al 2013). It is need to include inelastic behavior of structural elements for more realistic results.…”
