Seismic Analysis with Linear Methods (Linear Performance Analysis)

Linear performance analysis is the application of non-linear behavior with a linear calculation method, in which the SGDT approach is applied in the evaluation of the seismic performance of existing buildings. While applying linear performance analysis in existing buildings, Mode Combination Method is applied. Element damage types, application limits of linear performance analysis, strain and plastic rotation demands; determined using displaced axis rotations in columns, beams and shearwalls.
