Abstract

The seismic response of building structures can be estimated by several analysis methods. Each approach incorporates different assumptions and varies in complexity of application. The traditional approach is to employ equivalent static analysis methods while current design practice is moving towards an increased emphasis on nonlinear analysis methods. This study examined the seismic performance of multistory buildings designed according to Egyptian code. Nonlinear time history analysis is used for evaluation of equivalent static and response spectra procedures that recommended by Egyptian codes for seismic design of building structures. In this study, a preliminary seismic response analysis of two buildings was performed using three analysis procedures to evaluate the building seismic performance and the difference in global response predicted by the three methods. Moreover, three analysis procedures are evaluated for their ability to predict deformation demands in terms of inter-story drifts and potential failure mechanisms. Three ground motions of earthquake records are used for seismic demands evaluation of these buildings. The results demonstrated that, for the three analysis methods used in this study, different predictions of seismic response occurred. Furthermore, the results of the analyses are used to evaluate the advantages, limitations, and ease of application of each approach for seismic analysis. Each method is shown to have merits and deficiencies that should be considered when selecting a seismic analysis method for a particular building structure.
