A Simplified Modal Pushover Analysis-based Method for Incremental Dynamic Analysis of Regular RC Moment-resisting Frames

Authors

Abstract:

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 response of an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system, characterized by a bilinear relationship between the lateral force (F) and roof-displacement (D). The F-D relationship is determined by the ‘first-mode’ pushover analysis of the structure. Four regular RC moment-resisting frames designed based on the current US building codes are selected and subjected to the proposed method. The analysis results obtained from the original MPA-based IDA method, SPO2IDA and the method proposed by Shafei et al are also presented for comparison. The performance of the proposed method is then evaluated through comparisons with the results obtained from IDAs. The results show that the proposed method is able to efficiently estimate the dynamic capacity of the example buildings for different seismic performance levels. Nonetheless like to MPA-based IDA and SPO2IDA methods less accueate results are obtained by the proposed procedure for 16% and 84% IDA fractiles in most case studies.

modal spectra combination method for pushover analysis of special steel moment resisting frames

the nonlinear static procedures (nsps) proposed by design codes do not lead to reliable results especially for tall buildings. they generally provide inconsistent estimates of inelastic seismic demands, especially for the top floors due to their inabilities in considering the higher modes effects. in this paper, a new enhanced pushover procedure is proposed which is based on the envelope of the...

Micro-modeling of Masonry Infilled RC Moment Resisting Frames to Investigate Arrangement of Compressive Diagonal Struts

Accurate modeling of masonry has been a major concern of the researchers in the past decades. Besides reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures, masonry can be found in frame structures as infill panels which are used as partitions and/or external walls. These elements role as a part of structure and introduce a large degree of nonlinearity into the system. In this study, a micro-modeling ...

Robustness Assessment of Steel Moment Resisting Frames

Nowadays, many buildings with steel Moment Resisting Frames (MRF) are built in seismic zones when seismic codes are at its early stages of development, and as such, these structures are often designed solely to resist lateral wind loads without providing an overall ductile mechanism. On the other hand, current seismic design criteria based on hierarchy of resistance allow enhancing the structur...
