Abstract
ABSTRACT The selection of appropriate analysis method for the seismic assessment of existing structures and the reliability of its results are of utmost importance, as they determine the magnitude of potential damage in a future seismic event, as well as the demands for strengthening and ductility during retrofitting. This paper examines a historical concrete building in Nicosia, Cyprus, that exhibits strong irregularities, both in plan and elevation. The aim is to compare the results of the static pushover to the nonlinear time-history analysis method, to better understand the applicability limits of the pushover analysis when applied on irregular, historic concrete structures.
