Seismic analysis methods adopted for buildings design in Iraq: A review
Authors
Al-Naqdi Ibtehal Abdulmonem, Mohammed Y Fattah
Abstract
This study reviews the seismic analysis methods used for building
design and analysis in Iraq's north, middle, and south provinces, citing
seismic codes and standards from other authors' studies. Buildings studied by
authors varied from reinforced concrete buildings to bearing walls buildings.
From the review, it is obvious that the Pushover Method and Response Spectrum
Model are more relevant and accurate and offer simplicity and save in cost when
analyzing buildings considering seismic hazards. Both Time History Analysis and
Equivalent Static Analysis have obvious disadvantages, as Time History Analysis
is accurate but complex and requires significant expertise. On the other hand,
Equivalent Static Analysis is simple and practical for design but it also has
its disadvantages such as inaccuracy) Iraqi seismic code was taken by majority
of authors in their researches for determining parameters used during assessing
of seismic effect. From reviewed studies it is clear the need for Iraqi records
of seismic activity in Iraq so that it can help authors in their researches.
