Multi-Mode Pushover Procedure to Estimate Higher Modes Effects on Seismic Inelastic Response of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper deals with a multi-mode pushover procedure that considers higher mode effects, frequency content of response spectra as well as nonlinear interaction between modes. Pushover analyses are conducted with story-specific generalized force vectors. Each force vector is calculated through modal analysis and builds up the instantaneous distribution of forces acting on the structure when the interstory drift at each story attains its maximum value during the seismic motion. In order to improve the computational cost effectiveness, both mode truncation and limitation in the number of generalized pushovers are used by checking, however, the accuracy in the evaluation of the interstory drifts at all levels. The target interstory drift is calculated through three different modal combination procedures.
