Response spectrum analysis of multi storied buildings: A review

摘要

There are many catastrophic effects of an earthquake on a structure. So it is essential to consider earthquake forces on a structure while its designing phase. The major effect on a structure is at joints, so we have to strengthen the joints of a structure. There are various methods available for computation of earthquake such as response spectrum method and time history method. In response spectrum method peak or steady-state responses are plotted to specified load function for all degrees of freedom. This paper highlights different methods used for seismic analysis and their limitations. A case study of Gujarat earthquake is also presented with the effects on various structures.
