Abstract:
In this study, behavior of a multi-story reinforced concrete frame building designed as three bays
and six stories is investigated. Pushover analyses of the selected building are performed
according to various lateral load patterns and hinge models. Uniform and inverted triangular
shapes are selected for the load patterns while lumped and spread hinge (fiber hinge) models are
used for hinge models. Analyses are performed by Sap2000 and Seismostruct programs.
Capacity curves and interstory drifts of the building are compared with each other for various
lateral load patterns and hinge models, and obtained results are evaluated.
