Damage capacity on RC structures using performance based analysis
Abstract
Performance based analysis is conducted on a structure to know the performance of building under severe earthquake loads with limited and well-distributed damage. To do this analysis a non-linear static analysis called pushover analysis had conducted on the structure. In this paper, an RC building with both 5 storey and 10 storey is designed for both gravity loads and earthquake resistant loads using SAP2000 software. Analysis is done in both X and Y direction to get a damage curve (pushover curve). By studying the damage curve, the results that obtained are earthquake resistant designed building had more strength when compared to gravity load designed building and it is better to consider earthquake in building design , because gravity loads alone cannot give the adequate results.
