Abstract
Present paper highlights the effect of some modeling assumptions on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structure. Nonlinear seismic behavior of RC buildings for different modeling assumptions, viz., support condition, nonrigid beam-column joint, and lintel integrated with the columns, has been studied. Seismic performance has been checked by using nonlinear static analysis procedure (NSP). It has been observed that change in modeling assumption significantly affects the nonlinear performance of the building. From the study, it has been concluded that the modeling assumptions should match the realistic condition and should not be same irrespective of actual circumstances. Due to lack of specific structural modeling guidelines, the designers do not give due importance to appropriate modeling assumptions which can lead to unsafe design of buildings.
