| Abstract: | A 16-story building under construction in Bucharest has been designed according to the provisions of EC2 and EC8, using elastic spectral modal analysis. Considering that the building is torsionally sensitive in the nonlinear range, it was further checked and verified using nonlinear dynamic and static procedures, using a detailed space-frame model. Specifically, time-history analysis for seven different excitations, as well as respective inelastic static analysis taking into account torsional effects were performed. The results are examined regarding structural (global) and member (local) response and various issues concerning the adequacy of the original elastic design and the applicability of advanced analysis methods are discussed. |
