The load distributions for pushover analyses are chosen as triangular, IBC (k=2) and rectangular. Four different framed structures are used, which are typical reinforced concrete (R\C) frame systems and have four different natural periods. Even though the nonlinear dynamic time history analysis is the best way to compute seismic demands FEMA-273 and ATC-40 proposes to use of nonlinear static procedure or pushover analysis. This paper is also intended to compare the results of pushover and nonlinear dynamic time history analyses. To evaluate the results from the pushover analyses for three load patterns and also four natural periods, nonlinear dynamic time history analyses are performed. Earthquake ground motions recorded at 50 stations during various earthquakes overall the world are used in the analyses. Pushover and nonlinear time history analyses results are compared to choose the best load distribution for specific natural period for this type of frame structure. Keywords: Pushover analysis, nonlinear time history, load patterns, moment-resisting frame INTRODUCTION Only the life safety and collapse prevention in general earthquake resistant design phenomena are explicitly prevented in seismic design codes. The design is generally based on evaluating the seismic performance of structures. It is required to consider inelastic behavior while evaluating the seismic demand
