The Linear Time History Analysis (LTHA) Procedure for the Seismic Analysis and Design of Building Structures

This lectures series focuses on the basic concept, mathematical formulation and practical application of the Linear Time History Analysis (LTHA) procedure for the seismic analysis and design of building structures.

Part 1 – Introduction to Linear Time History Analysis Procedure for Sesimic Analysis of Buildings

Part 2 – Modal Response History Analysis (Modal RHA) vs. Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA)

Part 3 – Time History Analysis in Building Codes – UBC 97, IBC 2000, BCP 2007

Part 4 – Selection and Development of Ground Motions for Time History Analysis of Structures

Part 5 – Selection of Ground Motions from PEER Ground Motion Database

Part 6 – Ground Motions Selection Criteria for an Example High-rise Building

Part 7 – Modification of Ground Motions to Match the Target Hazard – Scaling vs. Spectral Matching

Part 8 – Spectral Matching of Ground Motions using SEISMOMATCH AND CSI ETABS – Demonstration

Part 9 – Time History Analysis of Buildings – CSI ETABS Demonstration
