Performance Based Design (PBD) is a logical design process that will give a solution  to  achieve  a  specified  performance.  The  need  for  the  analysis  tool  to  determine  the performance of the structure becomes important. For practical reasons, engineer may choose  NSPA  rather  than  Non-Linear  Time  History  Analysis  (NLTHA),  even  though  NSPA  has  an  inherent  deficiency  that  its  invariant  load  distribution  cannot  take  the  higher-mode effect into consideration which plays important role for high-rise structures. Attempts  had  been  made  to  develop  NSPA  so  that  the  higher-mode  effects  can  be  considered.  This  study  investigates  the  applicability  of  several  enhanced  pushover  methods   in   predicting   the   response   characteristic   of   RC   frame   building   through   comparison  with  benchmark  responses  obtained  from  NLTHA  (using  one  earthquake  ground motion) as an exact solution. From the results, it can be clearly seen that enhanced pushover analysis methods can be used to evaluate particular responses of the mid-height structure   although   some   methods   cannot   give   conservative   results   compared   with   NLTHA but these methods cannot obtain conservative results for high-rise structure.  0aTall buildingsxEarthquake effectsxEvaluation0 aPennung Warnitchai,eChairperson1 aAnwar, Naveed,eExamination Committee1 aChiu, Gregory L.F.,eExamination Committee2 aASEAN Foundation Scholarship, eScholarship donor 2 aAIT Fellowship, eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
