Abstract:Elastic and plastic dynamic time history analysis of a Super high-rise residential buildings in Xinjiang was performed by Midas-Building to study the elastic- plastic behavior under the rare earthquake, to study the damage and yield of the components and to find out the structure of the weak layer of the structure and weak component to provide some suggestions for seismic design. Analyses results show that the maximum story drift ratio is less than 1/100 which fulfills the limitation requirement, most of the beam damage occurs, main shear walls suffer little plastic damage and no obvious weak parts of structure is found .Although the Super high-rise residential locates in the high seismic intensity zone ,but the structure can achieve the goal of seismic design requirements through the reasonable structural arrangement and calculation analysis.
