Nonlinear dynamic analysis for lateral force distribution on building structure (regular &
irregular) during major earthquakes
Research Plan:
1. Using the formula proposed by Chao, finding out the best suited value of α.
2. maximum interstory drift along the heights and compare with building codes.
3. Inelastic seismic demands
4. Higher mode effect
5. Some irregular structure
Software:
1. Etabs, Sap200
2. Perform V6
3. OpenSees (if possible)
