Includes bibliographical references (p. 41). Exploring nonlinear behavior of structures through structural analysis software can be time and computer processing intensive especially with complicated structural models. This paper will explore the nonlinear behavior of a reinforced concrete structure with varying damping conditions that will experience a number of earthquakes at varying intensities. In the effort to produce a more accurate representation of the structural behavior, the building will be designed based on modem design codes. Ultimately, this approach aims to define a range in which engineers can use a linear approximation to determine certain performance metrics like interstory drift and floor accelerations. by Matthew Anthony Pires.
