Abstract

This paper discusses applying a nonlinear analysis to reinforced concrete frames for computing its response to lateral loading. The nonlinear analysis takes into effect the material and geometric nonlinearities. From lateral loading and lateral drift, lateral stiffness can be obtained. Comparisons between nonlinear lateral stiffness and linear lateral stiffness based on equivalent rigidity E1 values suggested in the ACI-318 Code are given. The nonlinear analysis also gives the rigidity values along the members of the frames. Finally, the paper assesses the accuracy of the approximate formula for calculating lateral story stiffness given by Cheong-Siat-Moy.
