Abstract
The paper presents a simple computer - based pushover
analysis technique for performance - based design of the
building framework subject to earthquake loading. The
technique used is nonlinear static pushover analysis. In
this study, multi-storey RC building with different
structural configuration, bare frame, shear wall and infill
wall is modeled and analyzed with the help of SAP2000
software. From output of analysis different parameters like
base shear, displacement, effective damping, effective
period, spectral acceleration and spectral displacement is
obtained and compared. It is seen that at roof level
displacement in bare frame is more than other two
structural configurations and base shear is maximum in the
frame with shear wall due to more self-weight
