Introduction
1.1. General
The most unpredictable of all natural disaster is earthquake. The structural behavior of
building during earthquake depends mainly on shape size, span arrangements and loading
considered for a particular structure. The need and demand of the latest generation of having
innovative style of living and growing population has made architects and engineer inventory
important role is understanding the actual behavior of building on the seismic loading during
earthquake. All over the world seismic performance of structure is studied , the seismic
performance is basically can be studied from the behavior of earthquake which are
unpredictable . Currently it cannot accurately predict that an earthquake will occur when and
where, and it cannot estimate earthquake intensity and seismic ground motion characteristic
in earthquake.
Though seismic design is a basic design principle ideaolgfy and method which are formed by
the summary for structural earthquake damage and long term accumulation for practical
engineering experience. In the structural design of nine storey building applying different
span arrangement. For this nine storey building 6 bays are provided for different span. Steel
moment resisting frame are widely used as a lateral load resisting system for mid to high rise
building. Steel moment resisting frames are one of the popular seismic load resistant systems
because of their ductility. During a seismic event they expect to experience large inelastic
deformation, while maintaining the life safety level for the occupant.
For maintaining and further procedure push over analysis is applied to structure. The purpose
inelastic analysis. Pushover analysis is basically nonlinear static analysis that is performed by
imposing an assumed distribution of lateral loads over the height of a structural increasing the

records and selected earthquake ground motions is initially compared with the one

compared with the peak response obtained by nonlinear dynamic analysis. In this
paper the torsional response of plan asymmetric masonry building structures and the
building is initially compared with the one of a symmetric building variant for
several input ground motions, in order to evaluate the effects of the torsional
response. An increase in wall displacement of about 20% has been measured at the
flexible side that suffers larger damage. Subsequently, the results from pushover
analyses are compared to those obtained by nonlinear dynamic analyses. The
5. The results, though limited to the selected test example, show that the envelope
deflection profiles at the stiff side is suitable matched whereas at the flexible side
the pushover, performed amplifying the actual distribution of masses within walls
and floors, does not cover the peak values of nonlinear dynamic response. This
means that also in low-rise masonry buildings the pushover analysis should be
performed shifting the horizontal resultant force towards the flexible side to match
the peak values of nonlinear dynamic response. However, further researches are
requires accurate and robust simulation techniques that can efficiently predict inelastic
response in the large deformation range, up to structural collapse. This paper presents a real-
time dynamic sub structuring (RTDS) test program carried out on steel moment resisting
frames (MRF) tested up to near collapse. A single-story, industrial building with steel MRFs
at perimeter was examined applying the Loma Prieta earthquake record . Real Time Dynamic
Sub structuring RTDS test program was carried out on a flexible steel moment resisting frame
various techniques on the quality of the simulations. The structure response was characterized
by significant variations in lateral stiffness, particularly at load reversals. The physical model
included an inverted cantilever column specimen and involved only one translational degree
of freedom. This simple and cost effective hybrid simulation configuration required that the
Satisfactory results were obtained by making use of delay compensation techniques as well as
combination of low-pass filter and linear regression smoothing techniques to remove parasitic
high frequencies.
Xiaohu Meng( 2014) In the structural design of super high-rise, structure system not
only have an important influence on the security and economic of the structure, but also have
a significant impact on the use function and space form of the structure. This paper analyzes
the dynamic elastoplastic of a super high-rise building based on the rare earthquake, to verify
the
reliable of the super high-rise building. This paper analysed and studied the dynamic
elastoplastic of a super high-rise building in the highly seismic region .The performance can
be summarized as below:
(1) The overall seismic performance of the structure is good, the outer giant frame tube and
steel plate concrete inner tube has good resistance to lateral force effectiveness,
under six kinds of working conditions, the largest interlayer displacement angle is 1/101, less
than 1/100 of the limit stipulated in the codes. The maximum displacement between floors
and interlayer displacement angle are near the top of the structure.
(2) The outer frame tube keep elastic, some parts appear plastic deformation. The outer frame
tube component for the hinge mechanism under rare earthquake, which is accord
(3) Most of the shear wall injury lighter by compression, for the steel plate at the top of the
internal tube shear wall of the structure , because of the influence of structure stiffness
mutation and WHIPL- ASH effect, wall damage apparently, so that have very good energy
dissipation effect.
NIE Jianguo(2006):- They reported the following consederation and solution by investigating
the seismic behavior of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube (CFRT) structures, a push-over
analysis of a 10-story moment resisting frame (MRF) composed of CFRT columns and steel
beams was conducted. The results show that push-over analysis is sensitive to the lateral load
patterns, so the use of at least two load patterns that are expected to bound the inertia force
distributions is recommended. In this paper the seismic behaviors of five kinds of 10-story
CFT columns, and RC columns, have been studied. The seismic responses of the CFRT, CFT,
and RC structures in push-over analyses have been compared and some concluding remarks
1) The push-over analysis results show that the ductility and seismic behavior of the CFRT
structure are superior to those of the RC structures. Consequently, CFRT structures are
2) Since the push-over analysis results are sensitive to the lateral load patterns, the use of at
least two load patterns that are expected to bound the inertia force distributions is
