A Review - Comparison between Response Spectrum Method and Time History Method for Dynamic Analysis of Multistoried Building

Prakriti Chandrakar ^[2] | Dr. P. S. Bokare ^[2]

Abstract: The Indian subcontinent is particularly visited by earthquake of severe to medium intensities almost once a decade. This earthquake causes severe damage to properties in general and multistoried building in particular. Hence all the building constructed in Indian subcontinents and particularly situated in earthquake prone zones as defined by IS 18932002 should be designed for loads and stresses, resulting out of earthquake. The multistory building can be analyzed for stresses arising out of earthquake by using method of dynamic analysis. Various methods of dynamic analysis include Response Spectrum Method, Time History Method and Seismic Coefficient Method out of these Response spectrum method and Time history method are widely used for dynamic analysis of multistoried building. However the researchers are always at the crossroads while choosing the proper method of dynamic analysis for multistoried building. This paper therefore attempts to document the various research input available so far, for the use of Response spectrum method and Time history method for the analysis of multistoried building. Study suggest that the Time History Method of dynamic analysis of multistoried building is better than Response Spectrum Method.
