Estimating floor acceleration in nonlinear multi-story moment-resisting frames R. Karami Mohammadi Assistant Professor, Civil Engineering Department, K.N.Toosi University M. Mohammadi M.Sc. Student, Civil Engineering Department, K.N.Toosi University SUMMARY: In this paper, a new shear building model is used to study floor response spectra of multi-story structures. The stories of shear building model are set to have the lateral stiffness and hysteretic force-deformation behaviours equivalent to the corresponding story of given moment-resisting frame. Incremental dynamic analyses are also performed on different shear building models and the variation of peak floor acceleration with the intensity of earthquake is investigated. The effects of fundamental period of structure, strength reduction factor, and level of installation are also studied on the acceleration response of non-structural components. A new formulation is proposed for extracting elastic acceleration spectrum of every floor from peak ground acceleration. This procedure could be taken as an alternative in using the resonance factor proposed by Eurocode 8. The effect of nonlinear behaviour of structure is then considered by calculating the required influence factors.

INTRODUCTION Nonstructural components (NSCs) are installed in the floors of a building that are not part of intended load-bearing structural system. Nonstructural elements are generally classified into three categories: 1) architectural components; 2) mechanical and electrical components; 3) building contents. Viti et al. (1980) presented a computational scheme for developing nonlinear floor response spectrum (FRS). The results were shown, assuming missile impact on a reactor building. Then the expected reduction v
