Comparison of Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Time History and Endurance Time Method in Tall Structures with Frame-Wall System

Abstract

In this study, the seismic response of tall concrete structures with a special dual frame-wall concrete system is investigated using the endurance time method, and the results are compared with nonlinear time history analysis results. For this purpose, first, appropriate analytical models including buildings with concrete framed-wall system and 20, 30, and 40 stories are modeled non-linearly in PERFORM 3D software, and then, main nonlinear time history analyses are carried out for seven ground motions (accelerogram) further from the fault based on the FEMA P695 code and the endurance time accelerogram of (in) series. The results of the analysis are compared using indices (shear, relative displacement, and acceleration). The results indicate that the endurance time method is accurate in two indices of shear and acceleration, but the accuracy of the relative displacement index of the floor decreases as the number of stories of the structure increases.
