Peak Floor Accelerations from Linear Time History Analysis of Multi-Story Buildings

Peak floor acceleration results from linear time history analysis of multi-story buildings with moment-resisting frame and shear wall systems. The dataset, provided by author Nezar Gomeed, includes processed acceleration time histories and torsional amplification factors. Ground motions were scaled to match the NBCC 2020 target response spectrum for Montreal, Soil Type C.

Use Cases

• Validate computational models for torsional amplification based on provided TAF values.
• Study the relationship between ground motion scaling and peak floor accelerations.
• Compare seismic performance of moment-resisting frame versus shear wall systems.
• Analyze floor-by-floor acceleration profiles from linear time history analysis.

Strengths

• Data is tied to a specific seismic design code (NBCC 2020) and location (Montreal, Soil Type C).
• Includes multiple derived metrics: peak floor accelerations, torsional amplification factors, and processed time histories.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
