In most of the countries, the irregular building construction is popular for fulfilling both aesthetic and functional requirements. However, the evidence of past earthquakes in Nepal and the globe demonstrated the higher level of seismic vulnerability of the buildings due to irregularities. Considering this fact, the present study highlighted the common irregularities and its effect on reinforced concrete building response. The effect of structural irregularities was studied through numerical analysis. The geometrical, mass and stiffness irregularities were created by removing bays in different floor levels and removing the columns at different sections respectively. In this study, the numerical models were created in finite element program SAP2000. The structural performance was studied using both non-linear static pushover and dynamic time history analysis. The results indicate that the level of irregularities significantly influenced the behavior of structures.

As high-rise buildings increase with height and slenderness, they become increasingly sensitive to dynamic vibrations, and therefore the natural frequency of vibration and damping ratio are very important design parameters, as they directly impact the design wind forces. Recent advances in sensing and computing technology have made it possible to monitor the dynamic behaviour of full-scale structures, which was not possible in the past. Full-scale validation of the dynamic properties is useful for high-rise designers to verify design assumptions, especially since recent measurements have shown that damping decreases as the height of the building increases, and in situ damping measurements have been lower than many currently assumed design values, potentially leading to unconservative designs. A 50-storey residential building in downtown Toronto, with a reinforced concrete coupled shear wall lateral load resisting system with outriggers was monitored using current state-of-the-art sensing technologies and techniques to determine, in situ, the dynamic properties under real wind loads. The in situ measurements were then compared with results obtained using current state-of-the-art computer modelling techniques.

Abstract The blast explosion causes catastrophic failure of structure both externally and internally. In this work the analytical investigation is carried out on the blast performance of the reinforced concrete building frame. Reinforced concrete building connection is vital in the Moment Resistant Frames (MRF) and they play a vital role under constant blast load. It is important to design the building for blast loading since they are subjected to large displacements. The non-linear dynamic behavior of the building by time history analysis method is performed by using SAP2000 finite element stimulation software. Blast load is idealized as the triangular pulse for single degree of freedom system and the effect of the blast load at a different standoff distances on the building element is examined. The analytical method could predict the overall flexural, non-linear shear behavior and ductile response of the building at different modes. The results of the stimulations for various failure conditions such as maximum displacement, maximum base shear and spectral acceleration as per IS 1893-2016 for non-linear dynamic responses are investigated in this study.
