Tall buildings seismic behavior comparative study by increasing the concrete mechanical strength through non-linear static analysis and seismic performance

The use of high strength concrete in tall buildings implies less lateral displacement, however, an important question is. In what other measures the seismic behavior of a building improves with high strength concrete (550 kg/cm2). As a result, the material allows the construction of slender structur...

Summary:The use of high strength concrete in tall buildings implies less lateral displacement, however, an important question is. In what other measures the seismic behavior of a building improves with high strength concrete (550 kg/cm2). As a result, the material allows the construction of slender structural elements, however we won't be able to know how much the ductility of the structure in front of a seismic event will improve. Therefore, the reason of this study is to analyze the dynamic response of a tall building with different sections and resistance to the compression of its structural elements. The aim of this study is to obtain the curve of capacity and the point of seismic performance of each structural model.
