the objective of this review to be submitted in two independent parts, for steel frames and for rc frames, is to compare their structural performance with respect to the proposed n2-method, and so also of the consequent convenience of using pushover methodology for the seismic analysis of these structures. a preliminary investigation is presented on a pushover analysis used for the seismic perf...

Construction of building omitting an infill wall mostly in ground floor and other floors has led a to face soft story failure mechanism. This omission is for commercial purposes parking vehicles floor. In this study, study on the behavior structure done when happens different levels. A explained as per NBC 201 205 taken into consideration. Soft assigned all responses separately. An equivalent d...

This paper presents a simple method to calculate pushover curves for asymmetric structure with displacement-dependent passive energy dissipation devices (DDPEDDs). The method analyzes the deformation of a symmetric structure in translation and in torsion. These results are then combined in order to calculate the pushover curve for an asymmetric structure with DDPEDDs. The numerical results obta...

A multi-objective heuristic particle swarm optimiser (MOHPSO) based on Pareto multi-objective theory is proposed to solve multi-objective optimality problems. The optimality objectives are the roof displacement and structure weight. Two types of structure are analysed in this paper, a truss structure and a framework structure. Performance-based seismic analysis, such as classical and modal push...

Pile foundations have been the subject of interest for earthquake engineers since last several decades. The devastations caused in major earthquakes of the world can be the reason enough to carry out the research on the topic of seismic behavior of piles. One definite concern is liquefaction induced ground movement after the shaking in an earthquake, causing extra lateral loads acting on piles....

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...
