Three-dimensional dynamic analyses of two Colombian high-rise buildings

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

Abstract

The actual earthquake damage in two high-rise buildings in Bogota, Colombia, is compared with predicted response of four three-dimensional analytic building models. Three building models of the 24-story steel frame Bank of Bogota and one of the 29-story concrete frame Bavaria Office Building are considered. Periods and mode shapes are calculated for each building model. Maximum interstory displacements, absolute roof accelerations, story shears, and torques are calculated in each building model for three well-recorded earthquakes, one being a July 1967 earthquake in Colombia, as recorded at a nearby Bogota seismograph station. In all earthquakes, both components of ground motion were applied simultaneously.
