First, we expose the approach of nonlinear time history method. Next, we describe a ten-storey reinforced concrete building braced by shear walls, implanted in the high seismicity region in Algeria. This structure is submitted to different seismic records. Finally, we analyze and interpret the seismic response in function of the deformability, shear strength, flexural strength and the bearing capacity under the compressive stress together with the local ductility. The results obtained showed that the identified structure represents a satisfied nonlinear behavior under the seismic recording of medium intensity contrary that obtained under higher earthquake of El Centro which remains unacceptable and requests a constructive improvement in the Algerian seismic rules.展开更多
