Abstract
Abstract: Seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is a critical aspect of earthquake-resistant design, especially in seismically active regions. Traditional linear analysis methods often fail to capture the complex nonlinear behavior of structures subjected to strong ground motions. This study presents a detailed seismic performance assessment of RC buildings using nonlinear time history analysis (NLTHA). The nonlinear behavior of structural components such as beams, columns, and beam-column joints is modeled to account for material inelasticity and stiffness degradation. Real earthquake ground motion records are applied to the structural model to simulate realistic seismic loading conditions. The dynamic response parameters, including storey displacement, inter-storey drift, base shear, and energy dissipation, and are evaluated. Performance levels such as Immediate Occupancy, Life Safety, and Collapse Prevention are assessed in accordance with performance-based seismic design guidelines. The influence of higher-mode effects and ground motion characteristics on structural response is also investigated. The results demonstrate that nonlinear time history analysis provides a more accurate and reliable prediction of seismic behavior compared to linear methods. The study highlights critical structural vulnerabilities and identifies potential failure mechanisms under severe earthquakes. The findings emphasize the importance of nonlinear analysis in seismic performance evaluation and retrofitting decisions. Overall, the proposed approach contributes to safer and more resilient RC building design.
