Introduction
i.
Static Analysis
SAP2000 can perform both linear static and multi-step static analysis. The
linear static analysis of a structure involves the solution of the system of
linear equations represented by K u = r. Various types of load patterns
are multi-stepped, which mean that they actually represent many
separate spatial loading patterns applied in sequence. These include the
vehicle, live, and wave types of load patterns.
ii.
2.0
Pushover analysis
Pushover analysis features in SAP2000 include the implementation of FEMA
356 and the hinge and fiber hinge option based on stress-strain. The
nonlinear layered shell element enables users to consider plastic behavior of
concrete shear walls, slabs, steel plates, and other area finite elements in the
pushover analysis. Force-Deformation relations are defined for steel and
concrete hinges.
3.0
Time-history analysis
Time-history analysis captures the step-by-step response of structures to
seismic ground motion and other types of loading such as blast, machinery,
wind, waves, etc. Analysis can use modal superposition or direct-integration
methods, and both can be linear or nonlinear. The nonlinear modal method,
also called FNA for Fast Nonlinear Analysis, is extremely efficient and
accurate for a wide class of problems. The direct-integration method is even
more general, and can handle large deformations and other highly nonlinear
behavior. Nonlinear time-history analyses can be chained together with other
Design
i.
Steel Frame
Fully integrated steel frame design includes member size optimization
and implementation of design codes. SAP2000 allows users to
interactively view design results at any frame member, change the
parameters or section properties, and display the updated member
results.
ii.
Concrete Frame
Fully integrated concrete frame design in SAP2000 includes: required
area of steel calculations, auto selection lists for new member sizing,
implementation of design codes, interactive design and review, and
comprehensive overwrite capabilities.

Modelling
Studied Models:
There are two models, model A and model B, derived in this report intended to
compare one model to another. These model have same plan view and frame size,
but model A is a concrete frame structure and model B is a steel frame structure.
Modelling Steps and Assumptions:
The modelling is done by SAP2000. The step in modelling the structures is proceed in
the following steps :
1. The unit is changed into the same unit which is used in the building model,
kN,m,C.
2. New model 2D frames is chosen.
3. The number of stories is 3, number of bays in x direction is 3. Story height is 3.3
m, and bay width is 6 m.
4. The material that is used for model A is G30 concrete with concrete cover of
0.025m, weight per unit volume of 25 Kn/m3, fc = 30000kN/m2 and E = 30000000
kN/m2.
5. The material for model B are S275 steel, fy = 275000 kN/m2 and E = 21000000
kN/m2.
6. Beam and column dimensions are 300 x 700 mm (beam) and 500 x 500 mm
(column). The number of bars along x and y direction is 6, bar size is N32. The
confine bar is N12, the spacing is 15 cm, and number of bars x and y direction is
3. All the properties is used G40 concrete.
7. The support is fixed.
8. Hinge properties were defined, deformation controlled, set M3 for beam, and set
interaction P-M3 for column.
9. For POA analysis :
a. The loading from the third, second, and first story are 239.04 kN, 159.36
kN, 79.68 kN for triangular loading, and 239.04 kN for each floor for
rectangular loading.
b. Hinge for the beam and column were set for 0 and 1.
c. Three different diaphragm constrain were defined and assigned to each
story level.
d. Three load pattern were defined, dead load, live load and lateral
pushover. Load case type was static and analysis type was nonlinear.

8.0 Discussion
a. POA Analysis
12
The 8.1 graph shows the steel frame has bigger displacement and also
bigger base reaction. Based on this result, it can be conclude that steel
frame could deflect larger, which mean that it is more ductile than the
concrete frame. This phenomenon also can be notice from the elastis
limit of the steel frame is until 1985.96 kN which is longer than the
concrete frame 713.82 kN.
Loading distribution has effect on the value of the maximum base
reaction. It can be seen by comparing graph 8.1 and 8.2. When the
loading is distributed uniformly, the base shear become larger than if the
loading distributed in triangular way. For comparison, concrete frame
with unifom loading has ultimate force 2423.219 kN and the frame with
triangular loading, the ultimate force is 2199.085 kN.
Different height of building stories has effect on base force value. The
frame with seven stories got higher base reaction than three stories
frame. But in this case, from graph 8.3, five stories frame got the higher
value of base force compared to seven stories and three stories. It
supposed that five stories frame base force value should lies between
seven stories and three stories. This is could happend because the
different assignment and different assumption made during the design
and analysis process.
13
b. IDA Analysis
14
The effect of story level on the frame can be seen in graph 8.6. The maximum
value of base reaction is belongs to seven stories frame which value is 35.481
kN. And the lowest base reaction is 11.947 kN belongs to five stories frame. But
the higest deflection is obtain from three level stories which maximum
displacement 0.20932 m. This evidence shows that the three level stories frame
deflect larger than the the seven stories and five stories frame.
