Earthquake resistant design is becoming increasingly complex as we are gradually aligning to the global design practices. It is required to perform different types of analysis for seismic design such as response spectrum analysis, p-delta analysis, nonlinear static analysis (pushover analysis), nonlinear dynamic analysis, etc. It is imperative to understand the overall methodology, limitations as well as software applications for each type of analysis. Because, if type of analysis considered is not appropriate or if the software application is not right then the intended purpose of earthquake resistant design won’t be achieved. Following are few of the clauses wherein advanced analysis are required as per IS codes.

IS 800:2007 mentions that the structure should be able to withstand inelastic displacement corresponding to joint rotation of 0.04 rad for Special Concentrically Braced Frames and for Special Moment Frame. As per IS 1893 (Part 4):2015, nonlinear time history analysis is required to verify the collapse mechanism as well as P-delta analysis is mandatory for all industrial structures. Nonlinear static analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis are required as per IS 16700:2023.

In view of the above, we are glad to launch a unique online course EQ-STR-004: “Different types of analysis” which will exclusively focus on the advanced structural analysis along with the software applications in ETABS. Following types of analysis which will be considered in the course:

Response spectrum analysis
P-Delta analysis
Nonlinear static analysis (pushover analysis)
Linear time history analysis
Nonlinear time history analysis
For earthquake resistant design, it is utmost important to understand the basics of structural dynamics. Therefore, in the course, we will start with fundamentals of structural dynamics wherein we will understand single degree of freedom, mode shapes, natural frequency, time period, acceleration, damping, resonance, etc. along with study models in ETABS. Thereafter, we will consider detailed discussion on each type of analysis wherein we will discuss software application along with the fundamentals. We will experiment different types of analysis on study models of single storey as well as for G+30 building. Results obtained from different types of analysis for the similar buildings will be compared. The participants will be encouraged to apply the same concepts whether on study models or on real projects and share their findings or queries during the course. The entire course is designed as a process of learning together.

The entire course will be extremely useful for preparation of in-house check-list, working procedure, Do’s and Don’ts, etc. for different types of analysis for buildings.
