Assessment Of The Effects Of Equivalent Lateral Forces By Using Different International Building Codes.

Lateral load can be considered to be those which act parallel to the ground plane and may occur atrnmany angles other than perfectly horizontal generally considered to act transversally to the primaryrnstructural system. And the seismic building codes are used in analysis because of to protect humanrnlife, to limit damage, to keep the structural safety of buildings and etc.rnAlthough this lateral load distribution is significant in buildings in our country there is no sufficientrnresearch on the assessment of the effects of equivalent lateral force distribution by using differentrninternational codes.rnThen this thesis works provides an investigation of the back ground of different provisions that arernspecified by different international codes.rnAnd in addition this thesis work studies the effects of lateral force distribution on the seismicrnperformances of the structures like lateral distribution of force, story shear, period and etc by usingrndifferent codes.rnThe provision codes selected for the current issues are like IBC 2009, EC8, 2004 and otherrninternational building codes. By using this code provisions lateral force distribution and story shearrnof different codes will be compared with respect to RSA.rnKeywords: - Equivalent static analysis, Response spectrum analysis, lateral distribution of forcernformulas, higher mode, structure configuration.
