Height wise distribution of maximum interstory drift angles in super high rise RC buildings based on earthquake response analysis models for structural design
This report describes height wise distribution of maximum interstory drift angles in super high rise RC buildings based on earthquake response analysis models for structural design. Yielding loads in the restoring force characteristics are almost consistent for plural buildings when normalized by base shear coefficients. The height wise distributions of interstory drift angles mainly depends on characteristics of input wave motions. As a result of the response analyses using various pulse waves and harmonic waves, the maximum interstory drift angles in low level floors occur when predominant period of input wave is longer than first natural period of the building.
