Abstract –While analyzing a multi-storey building frame, conventionally all the probable loads are applied after modelling the entire building frame. But in practice the frame is constructed in various stages. Accordingly, the stability of frame varies at every construction stage. Even during construction freshly placed concrete floor is supported by previously cast floor by formwork. Thus, the loads assumed in conventional analysis will vary in transient situation. The structural analysis of multi-storeyed buildings is one of the areas that have attracted a no. of engineering researchers and designers attention. There is one area, however, which has been ignored by many previous investigators, i.e., the effects of construction sequence in a multi-storey frame analysis. Present review deals with study of previous literatures done with respect to sequential analysis.
