Application Limits of Nonlinear Static PushOver Analysis for Reinforced Concrete Irregular Frame Buildings


Abstract in English

Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), a comparison between PushOver Analysis (POA) and Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA) is done in this research to explore the application limits of POA on the irregular frame buildings from reinforced concrete.the comparison contains (failure mechanism, displacement, and ductility).
