Book excerpt: In September 2014, the Applied Technology Council (ATC) commenced a task order project under National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Contract SB1341-13-CQ-0009 to develop guidance for nonlinear dynamic analysis (ATC-114 Project). The need for such guidance is identified as high-priority research and development topic (Proposed Research Initiative 6) in NIST GCR 14-917-27 report, Nonlinear Analysis Research and Development Program for Performance-Based Seismic Engineering (NIST, 2013), which outlines a research and development program for addressing the gap between state-of-the-art academic research and state-of-practice engineering applications for nonlinear structural analysis, analytical structural modeling, and computer simulation in support of performance-based seismic engineering. In addition, the NIST GCR 09-917-2 report, Research Required to Support Full Implementation of Performance-Based Seismic Design (NIST, 2009), also identified the need to improve analytical models for buildings and their components in near-collapse seismic loading. To help fill this gap, the ATC-114 Project developed a series of reports that provide general nonlinear modeling and nonlinear analysis guidance, as well as guidance specific to the following two structural systems: structural steel moment frames and reinforced concrete moment frames. This Part I Guidelines document is the first in the series and provides general guidance. The companion Part II Guidelines (NIST GCR 17-917-46v2 and 17-917-46v3) provide further details for steel moment frame and reinforced moment frame systems, respectively. It is envisioned that these Guidelines will be used in conjunction with available performance-assessment provisions, or their equivalent, that are appropriate for the specific circumstances.
