Pushovr analysis or also known as nonlinar static procdurs (NSP) hav bn rcognizd in rcnt yars for practical valuation of sismic dmands and for structural dsign by stimating a structural building capacitis and dformation dmands. By comparing ths dmands and capacitis at th prformanc lvl intrst, th sismic prformanc of a building can b valuatd. Howvr, th accuracy of NSP for assssmnt irrgular building is not yt a fully satisfactory solution, sinc irrgularitis of a building influnc th dynamic rsponss of th building. Th objctiv of th study prsntd hrin is to undrstand th nonlinar bhaviour of six story RC building with mass irrgularitis at diffrnt floors and stiffnss irrgularity at first story (soft story) using NSP. For th purpos of comparison on th prformanc lvl obtaind with NSP, nonlinar tim history analysis (THA) wr also prformd undr ground motion xcitation with compatibl to rspons spctra dsign. Finally, formation plastic hings and thir progrssiv dvlopmnt from lastic lvl to collaps prvntion ar prsntd and discussd. 1. Introduction Prformanc basd sismic dsign has bcom popular among structural nginr socity ovr th past twnty yars du to its potntial bnfit in assssmnt, dsign and bttr undrstanding of inlastic structural bhaviour during major arthquaks [1,]. Th ky paramtrs of prformanc basd sismic dsign lis th accurat stimation of sismic dmand and structurs capacity. This goal can b achivd only using ithr nonlinar static procdurs (NSP) or by prforming nonlinar dynamic tim history analysis ([3-13]). Th bst way to invstigat th sismic bhavior of a structur undr ground motion xcitation is th nonlinar dynamic tim history analysis (THA) that rprsnts th most rigorous and accurat approach. Nonthlss, it should b kpt in mind that th rspons is snsitiv to th structural proprtis and input ground motion, thrfor svral analyss ar rquird with incrasd complxity, computational costs and tim consumption. This is th rason why NSP is widly usd instad of THA, rgardlss its limitations for assssmnt sismic prformanc of a building. Iwan [9] dmonstratd th inability of pushovr mthods to prdict dmands for puls-lik nar fault ground motions. Krawinklr and Snviratna [10] dclar that NSP procdurs will provid insight into structural aspcts that control prformanc undr arthquak whn implmntd with caution and good judgmnt. For structur with first mod dominatd, NSP will vry likly provid good stimats of global and local inlastic dformation dmand. Furthrmor, Gol and Chadwll [8] invstigat of currnt NSP for concrt building using rcordd strong motion data.

Lignos and Gants [1] prformd improvmnt pushovr calld modal pushovr analysis (MPA) and THA for structur with irrgular mass distribution. Th rsults rvald that story drift is significant diffrnc if th structur is lastic, dmands ar undr stimatd at th uppr storis. For inlastic stat, MPA shows adquatly rsults in th uppr storis. Bas shar is ovrstimat and tndncy incrasing if mass discontinuity is locatd at lowr storis. Morovr, Lu t al.[14] studid applicability of NSP to valuat sismic prformanc of stl arch bridg, and it was notd that NSP accptabl accurat in prdiction displacmnt capacitis compar to THA. Currntly, th applicability of NSP as a tool for valuat sismic bhavior of structural building is still pros and cons among of structural nginring community. Th main objctiv of this papr to study comparison of sismic prformanc of six story rinforcd concrt structur with mass irrgularity and stiffnss or strngth irrgularity using NSP and THA. In ordr to vrify th applicability of pushovr procdurs for stimating th ovrall sismic dmands, th pushovr rsults from th frams ar compard with th dynamic analysis. In addition, to provid a ralistic basis for this comparison, th slction and scaling of th ground motions usd ar carfully assssd with rgard to th dsign spctrum. Mass irrgularity is th prsnc of havy mass on crtain floor of a building. In this cas, additional mass qual to 50% of uniform mass ach story ar imposd to scond, fourth, and sixth story, whras for stiffnss irrgularity is dsignd at th first story by incrasing th hight of first story columns. Th comparison btwn both nonlinar analysis in trm of rspons quantitis, i.., story displacmnt, intr-story drift, and bas shar ar prsntd and compard. Additionally, formation plastic hing at th first yild to collaps prvntion ar also dscribd.. Nonlinar static procdurs (NSP) Although THA is th most accurat analysis to valuat sismic dmand, th application NSP is gnrally considrd to b mor appropriat for sismic dsign du to its simplicity and as to us. This mthod is basd on assumption that th rspons of th MDOF structur can b rlatd to th rspons of an quivalnt SDOF. This is th rason why th NSP is known as th most us tool in th nginring practic for assssmnt of sismic bhaviour of structurs, and currntly has rsultd in guidlins such as ATC-40 [], FEMA-356 [4], and FEMA-440 [5] and standards such as ASCE [1]. NSP is conductd by applying th gravity loads followd by latral load is gradually incrasd along a dirction undr considration. Th invstigatd building is pushd according to prdfind latral load pattrn to obtain th targt displacmnt. At ach load stp, th bas shar and th roof displacmnt can b plottd to cratd capacity curv or pushovr curv. It rsults is assumption of maximum bas shar that th structur is capabl to withstand during arthquak vnt.

Ghaffarzadh t al.[7] studid rspons sismic dmand of RC frams using NSP. Th rsults show that push (a) pattrn and push (c) pattrn yildd similar rsults and rasonably accurat stimats of th maximum displacmnt. Although, slightly ovrstimat in th uppr storis, whil push (b) pattrn ovrstimat dmands at th lowr storis. Morovr, th applicability latral load pattrn on valuation of sismic dformation dmands using NSP wr invstigatd by Kunnath and Kalkan [11]. It was found that in all cass, push (a) pattrn providd closst rsults to th man tim history analysis, and othr two load pattrns tnd to ovrstimat dmands at th lowr storis.

Figur 1 shows forc-dformation rlation for plastic hing in pushovr analysis. This guidlins and standards prviously mntiond dfin forc-dformation critria for potntial locations of plastic hing. Thr ar fiv points lablld A, B, C, D, and E ar usd to dfin th forc-dformation bhaviour of th plastic hing, and thr points lablld IO (immdiat occupancy), LS (lif safty), and CP (collaps prvntion) ar usd to dfin accptanc critria for th hing. Thr ar six lvls of structural prformanc in ASCE 41-13, i.., Immdiat occupancy (S-1), Damag control rang (S-), Lif safty (S-3), Limitd safty rang (S-4), Collaps prvntion (S-5), and Not considrd (S-6). Two lvls of sismic hazard ar commonly dfind for buildings, namly (a) dsign basic arthquak (DBE): an arthquak with a 10% probability in 50 yars of bing xcdd. This is an arthquak with a 500 yars roccurrnc priod, and (b) maximum considrd arthquak (MCE): an arthquak with a % probability in 50 yars of bing xcdd. This is an arthquak with a 500 yars roccurrnc priod. Th cas study building wr dsignd basd on dsign spctrum that constructd for DBE sismic hazard lvl according to Indonsian sismic dsign.

Conclusion Th principal objctiv this papr is to valuat th accuracy NSP procdurs in comparison to THA, in ordr to stimat sismic dmand of six story rinforcd concrt buildings (RC frams) with uniform mass, irrgular mass and first soft story. Thr ar thr gnric frams whr mass irrgularitis is introducd at th scond, fourth, and sixth storis, on frams having uniform mass, and on fram dsignd with th soft first story wr invstigatd. Th gnral rsults confirm that rspons quantitis wr influncd by mass irrgularity in placd at diffrnt story and stiffnss irrgularity at first story. Although, Pushovr procdurs or NSP dmonstrat insufficint to stimat targt displacmnt at th roof and bas shar dmand, howvr, NSP provid bttr undrstanding inlastic frams bhaviour that can b usd to idntify wak lmnts or story through plastic hings status and formation. In this cas study, th diffrncs btwn NSP and THA is mor significant in roof displacmnt rathr than bas shar and th rsults obtaind from NSP ar always smallr than rsults of th THA. Morovr, in trm of global prformanc lvl, NSP produc damag control (S-) prformanc lvl, whil THA xhibit limitd safty rang (S-4) prformanc lvl for th whol fram cass. Evaluation of th frams in local prformanc lvl (plastic hing status) indicat that fram M 6 varis from IO to th CP prformanc lvl, and th rmaining frams ar idntical prformanc lvl (damag control). Furthrmor, both procdurs indicat that frams having mass irrgularity in top story (fram M 6) or having soft first story (fram S T) show th poor prformanc lvl (lowr bas shar capacity and highr displacmnt dmand).
