Seismic Behavior of Tunnel Form Reinforced Concrete Buildings with Mass Irregularity in Elevation

Non-uniform mass distribution in elevation is one of the main sources of irregularity in buildings that could lead to concentration of nonlinear deformations followed by local or global damage to buildings during earthquake excitation. Considering lack of accurate information about behavior of tunne...

Seismic Behavior of Tunnel Form Reinforced Concrete Buildings with Mass Irregularity in Elevation
description Non-uniform mass distribution in elevation is one of the main sources of irregularity in buildings that could lead to concentration of nonlinear deformations followed by local or global damage to buildings during earthquake excitation. Considering lack of accurate information about behavior of tunnel form RC buildings in preceding earthquakes, it is required to evaluate vulnerability of such buildings with mass irregularity in elevation. In this research, seismic behavior of tunnel form RC buildings with heights of 5 and 10 stories, having different patterns of non-uniform mass distributions in elevation is studied in the nonlinear deformation range. For this purpose, seismic performance levels of understudied buildings under design earthquake are determined using time history analysis as well as pushover analysis.
