Abstract
In recent years, nonlinear calculation methods can be easily carried out by means of developing computer technologies. In this way, comparisons of the nonlinear methods have started to increase rapidly and more studies are carried out on regular and irregular buildings. However, it is most important to compare consistency of the methods on buildings. In this study, most common nonlinear static (pushover) and nonlinear dynamic analysis (time history analysis) methods were compared on an asymmetric planned reinforced concrete (R/C) building. Building having horizontal and vertical irregularities was 5-story. Analyses were carried out by using SAP2000 program. The results are discussed in terms of base shear, lateral displacements and top displacement ratios.
