Pushover Anaylsis Of Retrofitted Reinforced Concrete Buildings By Using SAP

ABSTRACT This study deals the analysis of the nonlinear response of RC structures to be carried out in a routine fashion. It helps in the investigation of the behavior of the structure under different loading conditions, its load deflection behavior and the cracks pattern. In the present study, the non-linear response of RCC frame using SAP2000 under the loading has been carried out with the intention to investigate the relative importance of several factors in the non-linear analysis of RCC frames. This includes the variation in load displacement graph. To model the complex behavior of reinforced concrete analytically in its non-linear zone is difficult. This has led engineers in the past to rely heavily on empirical formulas which were derived from numerous experiments for the design of reinforced concrete structures. The proposed method is distinct from existing methods in that it allows for the inherent and accurate consideration of shear effects and significant second-order mechanisms within a simple modeling process suitable for practical applications.
