Mrunmayi Gursale, P. S. Patil

Abstract: The earthquake analysis of multistorey structure is done by linear and nonlinear methods. Response spectrum method of analysis is linear dynamic analysis. For nonlinear dynamic analysis time history method is used. In this paper, response spectrum method is used for linear analysis. For nonlinear analysis, time history method is used. For time history method, time history function of Bhuj earthquake is used. Both the analyses are done using ETABs software. To study seismic behaviour, base shear, time period, storey displacement parameters are studied

Keywords: linear analysis, nonlinear analysis, response spectrum method, time history method, ETABs.
