Earthquake is a transfer mechanism that initiates form ground motion travels in all directions. When the structure subjected to ground vibration, it induces inertial forces on the structure. The structure situated in the seismic areas has to resist not only gravity load but also lateral load that induces high stresses on the structure. It is essential to design a structure to perform well under seismic loads. The capacity of structure and yielding of the structure found by the elastic analysis but the redistribution of the forces beyond the elastic range and mechanism of structural failure cannot predict by elastic analysis. To examine the behavior of the structure beyond the elastic limit, the nonlinear static analysis is a popular method widely used. The present work deals with the assessment of the seismic response of the structure using the linear dynamic analysis and nonlinear static analysis. The parametric study carried out for various regular steel moment-resisting frames considering variation in the base dimension and height of the structure. The results obtained from the response spectrum analysis and displacement controlled pushover analysis, the performance of the structure is significantly influenced by the change in the base dimension and height of the structure. Key Words: Seismic response, Moment resisting frames nonlinear static analysis, linear dynamic analysis. 1. INTRODUCTION The Concept of seismic design is to provide structure with sufficient strength and deformation capacity to sustain seismic demands imposed by ground motion with an adequate margin of safety. Even if the probability of occurrence of earthquake within the life span of structures were very less, the strong ground motion would generally cause greater damage to the structure. Steel has high resilience for dynamic loads, which implies that the ability of steel to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically and release that energy upon unloading. The ability of the steel to undergo significant plastic deformations before rupture makes it more ductile and hence increases its probability of use in earthquake resistant design of structures, where ductility plays a major role in the behaviour of the structure. The steel moment resistance frame consists of two key elements. The first key element is a horizontal member that resists the external load by generating the shear forces and flexural moments and second is the vertical member that withstand external load by generating axial load and bending moments. The rigid joint between horizontal and vertical members of the moment-resisting frame provides essential resistance to the lateral force. The flexural strength and rigidity of the vertical and horizontal members are the fundamental source of the complete frame for the lateral stiffness and strength. The linear dynamic analysis gives only the elastic capacity and yielding of the structure. However, the redistribution of the forces and failure mechanism cannot be predicted from the linear dynamic analysis. The nonlinear static analysis becomes very useful because of the various aspects like effortlessness, easy to assess the deformation demands of the structure without any complexity in the modeling and computation [1]. The displacement demand will be the target displacement for the MDOF system which equivalent shape vector of the SDOF. The seismic response during the earthquake, the selection of invariant load pattern will define the response of the structure. The single load pattern will not influence load variations required for bound the inertia force distribution so use at least two load patterns [2]. To estimate the seismic demands of the high- rise building used upper-bound pushover analysis procedure. The nonlinear time history analysis procedure s are more complicated as compared to the nonlinear static procedures because of that the pushover analysis procedure is widely used in the tall building structures. The conventional procedure contains some drawbacks in predicting the inelastic seismic demands of high-rise buildings to overcome from this problem recently improved procedures developed. The new improved procedure considered higher mode effects of the applied loads. The target roof displacement can be determined using the applied lateral load and the absolute sum of the modal combination rule [3], [4]. Force distribution and target displacements are controlled by the fundamental natural mode, which remains unchanged after the yielding of the structure. On this assumption, the pushover analysis is work. Due to the above, assumption, invariant load distribution does count the effect caused by the plastic deformation and change in the stiffness property. The adaptive pushover analysis method is more effective to evaluate the seismic induced dynamic demands of the
