Abstract

This paper discusses the effectiveness of simplified nonlinear static methods for predicting the seismic response of various steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) and shear wall structures. Different nonlinear static analysis procedures are discussed. Results from focused studies of different archetype structural systems are compared with nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA). The main engineering demand parameters considered are story drift ratios, story shear forces and overturning moments. Suggestions are made for improving accuracy and required effort of alternative nonlinear static procedures used to predict the seismic response of steel MRF and shear wall structural systems.
