Abstract

Nonlinear static analysis using pushover procedures are becoming increasingly common in engineering practice for seismic evaluation of building structures. Various distributions of lateral forces are recommended in FEMA-356 (2000) to perform a pushover analysis. However, the use of these force distributions does not adequately represent the effects of varying dynamic characteristics during the inelastic response or the influence of higher modes. In this paper, four lateral load patterns are evaluated by comparison of the pushover response of two twelve storey (i.e., L-Shape & C-Shape) RCC moment frame buildings.
