A REVIEW ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF RC MOMENT RESISTING IRREGULAR FRAMES USING NONLINEAR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

Engineering structures are very complex and difficult to analyze for their dynamic, or vibrational, behavior. With the incidental loss of life and property witnessed in the last couple of decades alone in India, due to failure of structures caused by earthquakes, now attention is given to neglect the adequacy of strength in RC framed structures to resist strong ground motions. To determine structural response beyond yield point, out of two types of nonlinearity material and geometrical, material nonlinearity is considered in present paper. As such, nonlinear analysis can play an important role in the analysis and design of new and existing
