  • The extended N2 method considering higher mode effects in both plan and elevation
    Kreslin, Maja, 1980- ; Fajfar, Peter, 1943-
    The extended N2 method has been developed, which takes into account higher mode effects both in plan and in elevation. The extension is based on the assumption that the structure remains in the ... elastic range when vibrating in higher modes. The seismic demand in terms of displacements and storey drift can be obtained by combining the results of basic pushover analysis and those of standard elastic modal analysis. In the paper, the proposed procedure was summarized and applied to a test example which represents an actual 8-storey reinforced concrete building. The results obtained by the extended N2 method were compared with the results of nonlinear response history analysis and basic N2 analysis without the consideration of higher modes. The extended N2 method was able to provide fair, conservative estimates of response in the case of the test example. In comparison to the basic N2 method, the predictionof seismic demand was greatly improved in the upper part of the building and at the flexible edges.
