The most common analysis methods of complex high-rise buildings are the response spectrum analysis, elastic time history analysis, pushover analysis and etc. Meanwhile, for the analysis of those high-rises whose height is higher than 200 meters, period is longer than 4 seconds, the dynamic nonlinear analysis would be more accurate. In this paper, the dynamic nonlinear analysis was executed in use of the Perform-3D program. The results show that the maximum top displacement can meet the national codes; most tie beams and the frame beams of the upper structure yielded in the IO~IS stage and parts reached the CP stage; both the laminated columns and the frame columns had a good performance on the shear behavior; and it is also proposed to strengthen the reinforcement at the reducted storeys. By all these above, it can be judged that the structure reached the codes’ seismic performance objectives.

Abstract: These days earthquake is a major problem for development of high rise building in seismic zone areas. Researchers have developed devices to overcome these earthquake problems. So we need to design a structure which can withstand against the seismic loads. There for it became necessity to provide passive control device “base isolation” to resists large horizontal and vertical loads which lead the structure to collapse. In present workthe effectiveness of the fixed base and Base isolation (LRB) with different type of vertical irregularities in different type of soil (Hard, Medium, Soft soil) in plan are concerned the vibration of the structure. The present work G+10 story Building of different vertical irregularities ( Regular building, vertical irregular Type-I, vertical irregular Type-II, vertical irregular Type-III ) Situated in zone IV are analyzed under the various Loading such as dead load, live load and earthquake load. Free vibration analysis, response spectrum analysis have been carried out for these model of building with a fixed base and base Isolation Devices. It is observed that story displacement in response spectrum is significantly increases at top stories with the base isolated building. And this work shows that the response of building reduced by using base isolation (LRB) devices in all different typeof vertical irregularities building, but the same isolation device is more effectively work in Vertical irregular Type-II Building Keywords: Base isolation Techniques, LRB, Base Shear and Etabs etc.

Frequency-based analysis techniques such as response spectrum analysis (RSA) are widely used for designing bridges in seismically active regions. Two well-known analysis procedures that underlie RSA are the solution of the eigenproblem and the approximation of the solution to the eigenproblem (i.e., approximation of eigenvectors and eigenvalues) through use of force-dependent Ritz vectors. While frequency-based methods have achieved widespread adoption in practice, certain simplifications remain common, such as neglecting soil-structure interaction (SSI) due to a fixed-base assumption. In the present study, frequency-based techniques packaged within a research version of a design-oriented computational tool are employed to analyze, assess, and compare results obtained from RSA with use of the eigenanalysis, and separately, Ritz vector approaches. Importantly, for the bridge configurations analyzed, SSI is taken into account. As outcomes, the potential benefits of the Ritz vector approach (as well as modeling strategies) are demonstrated. The study outcomes are intended to aid practicing engineers when the need to account for SSI is recognized as pertinent to a given bridge seismic design application.
