In this paper, inelastic time history analysis of a six-storey moment resisting steel frame adopted from a hospital building located in Woodland Hills California (Wong and Yang, J Eng Mech 125:1190–1199 [1]) has been investigated considering both material and geometric nonlinearities, via an implemented Force Analogy Method (FAM) Matlab code. The reference steel frame has been analyzed by considering Kobe earthquake time history as the input ground motion. Storey mass has been taken as the parameter to study the effect on the structural response (e.g., displacement, etc.). Profiles of elastic, inelastic, and total displacement components of floors have been examined when irregular mass is located at different floor levels. |
