This article showcases the findings from a mathematical analysis of a frame spanning four bays and five stories. This frame is subjected to monotonic loading with the distribution of lateral forces derived from a combination of the structure's first and second vibration modes. The forces are incrementally applied in cycles until a predetermined control displacement is achieved, indicating the implementation of a Nonlinear Static Analysis (NSP). The study introduces energy dissipation mechanisms based on three distinct lengths for the frame beams' plastic zones, with a consistent plastic zone length designated for all columns. Through the use of software tools like Python and Matlab, 200 combinations of these potential mechanisms were tested and compared. This publication constitutes the initial phase of a research project titled "Parametric Reliability Analysis of Seismic Modeling in the Nonlinear Range Based on Chosen Modeling Type". The overarching goal is to delineate the efficiency of two disparate mathematical simulation processes for energy dissipation: the Fibers Method and the Assumed Plastic Zone Method.
