Abstract A simplified model is used in the nonlinear dynamic analysis of fixed offshore platforms. The characteristics of the model are presented and its adequacy for the study is discussed. The action of ocean waves on the model is obtained using typical waves of the Brazilian coast. The nonlinear equation of motion is obtained in its exact form and is expanded up to the cubic term. A comparison between the nonlinear analysis and the linear dynamic analysis is presented. A comparison between experimental results and those obtained with the model is also presented.

This state-of-the-art paper discusses nonlinear dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete building structures. Nonlinear analysis of a reinforced concrete building is difficult (a) because inelastic deformation is not confined at critical sections, but spreads throughout the structure; and (b) because stiffness of the reinforced concrete is dependent on a strain history.The paper reviews the behaviour of reinforced concrete members and their subassemblies observed during laboratory tests. Then different hysteresis and analytical models of reinforced concrete members are reviewed, and their application to the simulation of building model behaviour is discussed.
