This paper aimed at a tall frame-shear wall structure contains multi-short columns, and did pushover analysis to this structure with finite element software, and evaluated its seismic performance under rare earthquake in seismic intensity of 6 degrees. It concluded that the structure can meet the "earthquake does not fall" seismic requirements, and will not appear the cut destruction of shear frame short columns, and can achieve "strong column weak beam" design requirements.

A centrally reinforced column is a new type of RC columns, formed by providing a reinforcement skeleton at the central part of the cross section of an ordinary RC column. Tests have shown that as compared with an ordinary RC column, this type of columns has a higher load carrying capacity and ductility. From the pushover analysis of a frame composed of ordinary RC columns and one consisting of centrally reinforced columns, their seismic performance under seismic load of 9-degree intensity was studied according to Chinese code, including target displacements, story-level displacements, interstory drifts, appearance and development of plastic hinges. The results indicate that although the dimensions of cross sections of columns in the frame with centrally reinforced columns are smaller than those of the ordinary frame, the former still has a higher overall load carrying capacity and seismic performance than the latter.

Nowadays, as in the urban areas the space available for the construction of buildings is limited. So in limited space we have to construct such type of buildings which can be used for multiple purposes such as lobbies, car parking etc. To fulfill this demand, high rise buildings is the only option available. The performance of a high rise building during strong earthquake motion depends on the distribution of stiffness, strength and mass along both the vertical and horizontal directions. If there is discontinuity in stiffness, strength and mass between adjoining storeys of a building then such a building is known as irregular building. The present study focuses on the seismic performance of regular and vertical irregular building with and without masonary infills. In the present study G+11 building is considered for the analysis with modelling and analysis done on ETABS software v17.0.1. The earthquake forces are calculated as per IS 1893 (part 1): 2016 for seismic zone III. The width of strut is calculated by using equivalent diagonal strut method. Total five models are considered for the analysis i.e. regular building with bare frame, regular building with masonary infill, soft storey building with open ground storey, mass irregular building with masonary infill and vertical geometric irregular building with masonary infill. The non-linear static analysis (pushover analysis) and linear dynamic analysis (response spectrum analysis) are performed for all the models and thereby compare their results. From analysis, the parameters like performance point, time period, maximum storey displacement, maximum storey drifts, storey shears and overturning moments are determined and also comparative study is done for all the models. From the comparison, it is observed that the vertical geometric irregular building shows better performance under seismic loading and bare frame building shows inferior performance. Moreover, the performance of masonary infilled frame building is f

In this paper, the seismic performance of offshore reinforced concrete (RC) bridges during their life cycle periods is assessed by the pushover analysis based on the concept of the force analogy method (FAM). The governing equations and implementation process of the proposed pushover method are first derived. The material nonlinearity is modeled by the local plastic mechanism, which is capable of simulating the monotonic strength hardening and softening behaviors of RC piers. The chloride ions corrosion effect for the RC bridges located in coastal areas is considered by using the deterioration model for the mechanical property of reinforcement steel. Besides, structural stability against overturning is considered by incorporating the geometric nonlinearity with the FAM. Since the initial stiffness matrices remain constant through the computation process, the advantages of the FAM, such as high efficiency and stability, are retained. A numerical example is carried out to illustrate the process of seismic performance assessment for offshore RC bridges with the FAM.

For the lack of research in the longitudinal frame of prefabricated structure for its weak lateral stiffness, pushover analysis is conducted to evaluate the seismic performance of a fabricated concrete frame. Based on case study, the strengthening strategies with viscous dampers are analyzed. In view of the undesirable drift distribution and failure mode in the existing building, it is believed that arrangement of dampers should be designed to attain a uniform drift distribution. Based on the nonlinear time history analysis method, the strategy of damper allocation in vertical direction of the structure is investigated .Results indicate that a proper design might be attained based on the property of existing system, leading to a uniform drift distribution and better seismic performance.

In the paper, the equation of stiff characteristic coefficient of shear wall structure with unidirectional wall frames was derived, the deformation characteristics of structure with different wall frames ratio and height were analyzed. Through pushover analysis, the seismic performance of structures were evaluated by interlayer displacement angle and plastic hinge development process. Under earthquake action, increase of wall frames ratio will make plastic deformation increase and maximum interlayer displacement floor move down.The bottom of structure is the weak region, the short wall limbs of wall frames are the weak structural vertical members. The research results show that the wall frames bring adverse effects on the structural seismic performance, so the different design meathods should be carried out according to the overturning moment proportion of wall frames.
