<p>Earthquake is caused by a sudden release of energy in the earth’s crust, which causes seismic waves. The most significant effects of earthquakes are ground shaking and rupture. It has both social and economic effects, such as causing death and injury to creatures, including humans, and may damage the natural and build environment. It is critical to comprehend the loss of life and damage to structures caused by ground motion. So, the ground motion characteristics are to be studied keenly on any structure in the design process. In the present study different time histories are used to perform dynamic analysis of a geodesic dome using the analytical approach. The results like base shear and joint displacements are obtained with respect to the ground motion time period.</p>
