Method for Earthquake Analysis




Preface

This report is written as a Master’s Thesis at the Department of Structural Engineering at

the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The report has been written over the

course of 20 weeks during the spring semester of 2012 and should cover 30 credits.

In addition to the content of this report much time has been used on studying NS-EN-19981:2004,

Eurocode 8, and work in CSi SAP2000, MATLAB, L

T E X and Microsoft Excel. Many

A hours were also spent reading papers and narrowing the scope of the thesis. Non-linear finite

element methods have also been studied to understand and use the non-linear possibilities in

CSi SAP2000 effectively. It has been a rewarding semester where I have learned a lot about

earthquake analysis, individual work and myself.

I would like to present a thanks to my supervisor Anders Rönnquist for his help, and to my

fellow students at room 2-66 for input and discussion. As a final remark I would also like to

express my gratitude to my lecturers, Dr. Tam Larkin, Associate Professor Nawawi Chouw

and Dr. Rolando Orense, at the University of Auckland who opened the door to earthquake

engineering for me.
