Time History Analysis

Plain Definition: A dynamic method that evaluates a structure's response to a specific earthquake record over time.

Technical Description: Can be linear or nonlinear. Involves applying ground motion accelerograms and solving the structural response step by step.

Use in Design: Used for advanced seismic analysis, especially for non-regular or high-importance structures.
