SEISMIC ANALYSIS

FRAME A CROSS-SECTION DIRECTION

Description: A Two-Storey BPO Building which is square in plan has a series of special moment
resisting frames around the perimeter of the building. The floor loads and the frame dimensions
are shown in figure. The static seismic analysis was done in order to analyze the effects of
seismic and wind forces to the structure. The computed design stresses, and support reactions
will be used later for the design of structural components of the building. Portal Method was used
by the researchers for the structural analysis of Special Moment Resisting Frame.
