- REVIEW OF NONLINEAR TIME HISTORY ANALYSIS IN PERFORMANCE-BASED DESIGN FOR MEDIUM- TO HIGH-RISE RC BUILDINGS (2026) · INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY (IJCIET) · doi
Conventional seismic design approaches do not accurately predict structural damage and performance. Simplified modeling assumptions and lack of soil-structure interaction consideration limit the accuracy of nonlinear time history analysis. Limited three-dimensional modeling and experimental validation remain major research gaps.
