Analysis of reinforced concrete multistory frame structure using 'pushover' method

Abstract

The subject of this paper is the result of the analysis of a multistorey reinforced concrete frame, using nonlinear static "pushover" analysis. The analysis was performed on a structure calculated according to the current regulations for the design of earthquake resistant structures. The results were obtained using two software suites Radimpex Tower and Abaqus. Curves of the nonlinear response of the structure were formed in order to compare the results obtained by applying these two software suites.
