Abstract

The purpose of structural analysis is to predict or explain in a rational way the response of structures to specified loads. The task of analyzing reinforced concrete frames subjected to earthquake loads is among the most difficult ones known, because the loading is highly random and the load-deformation relationships for the structure and its individual components very nonlinear, with marked stiffness and strength degradation. As a result, the choice of an appropriate analysis method is not an easy one, but it has far-reaching consequences.
