About this document

Nonlinear Dynamics of RC Building RNC07 by Max Fariñas is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a study that performed nonlinear dynamic modeling of a 5-story reinforced concrete building in Managua, Nicaragua designed according to Nicaraguan building code RNC07. The study had two main stages: 1) design of the building using equivalent static and modal spectral analysis in ETABS, and 2) nonlinear dynamic time history analysis in STERA3D using earthquake records from Managua 1972 and Kobe, scaled up to a PGA of 0.6g. The results showed damage to structural elements entering the
