NON LINEAR EARTHQUAKE ANALYSIS OF BAGHDAD TOWER FOR COMMUNCATIONS USING A THREE DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study analyzes Baghdad Tower for communications when subjected to earthquake excitation using an elasto-viscoplastic material modeling and a three-dimensional finite element method. The algorithm used in this research deals with nonlinear structural analysis. Newmark's method is employed to study the displacement response under El-Centro earthquake type of excitation
