- Abstract
- Both static and dynamic analysis methods, which may be linear elastic or nonlinear, are used for structural analysis of structures. In nonlinear analysis methods, geometric nonlinearity and behaviour of material beyond linear elastic limit are taken into consideration. Artificial or recorded ground motions are used in nonlinear dynamic analysis, which are also known as nonlinear time history analysis. In this study, both linear and nonlinear dynamic analyses of six and ten-story RC frame structures, which are primarily designed according to Turkish Seismic Design Code, are performed by using seven ground motions recorded at different soil sites of Turkey. However, nonlinear static analyses or so-called pushover analyses of frames are carried out. Base shear forces and interstory drift ratios are obtained as analysis results and the comparison of above mentioned methods are made by using these analysis results.
