It is important for the structure to be economical and still have a high level of life safety. The lateral force sustained by the structures during a large earthquake would be several times larger than the lateral force for which the structures are designed. This is opposite to the fact that design loads such as gravity in codes are usually higher than the actual anticipated load. It is based on the probability that the occurrence of large earthquakes is quite rare and the capacity of the structure to absorb energy. The co-factors of response reduction factor which is the overstrength factor and ductility factor reduce the design horizontal base shear coefficient. A total of 36 low-rise residential buildings having different storey, bay and bay lengths are selected and analysed in this paper. NBC 105: 2020 is selected for the seismic design of RC buildings while provision provided in FEMA 356:2000 is used to carry out non-linear pushover analysis. The results indicated that between the different structures, the value of overstrength factor and ductility factor has a high deviation.

India is rapidly developing in every aspect now. As a result of which number of smart cities are now arising. while building such smart cities major role is played by infrastructural development. In this infrastructures, speedy and economical constructions are expected to make them more effective. Among such effective construction systems, Flat slab system is the one and is being widely applied on large scale. Flat slabs are thin solid reinforced concrete slabs which are supported directly by columns without beams. Flat slab system is now well adopted for constructions of high rise multi- storied commercial, residential, institutional buildings. They have adventitious constructive, architectural and economical features including easier formwork, speed of construction, spaciousness, etc. The purpose of this project is to study the seismic behavior of Flat Slab Structure for different seismic zones by assessment of Response Reduction Factor using Pushover analysis. Response reduction factor is the factor by which intensity of seismic waves produced during earthquake (maximum elastic base shear) can be reduced to calculate the design base shear. In the project parameters such as base shear, shear and bending stresses and deflection check in flat slab structure are examined by using ETABS Software.

Most of the structural designer do not consider masonry infill walls during design process due to a lack of modeling guidelines in design standards and are treated as non-structural elements. In fact, the interaction effect between bounding frames and infill masonry is a complicated issue in nonlinearity of structures. The current seismic codes indirectly incorporate the nonlinear response of structure through linear elastic approach by considering the response reduction factor ‘R’ without comprising infill. In this context, this study evaluates the response reduction factor of existing engineered designed RC frame structures that are designed based on Indian standard codes. For this, three existing RC buildings were selected and performed non-linear pushover analysis. The structural response was examined in terms of natural period, base shear, strength, stiffness, ductility and response reduction factor. The results specify that the buildings with infill walls significantly influence on ‘R’ value of structures. Additionally, study shows that the variation of ‘R’ value mainly depends on the percentage of infill inclusion.

This study investigates the direct displacement based design (DDBD) and convectional force based design (FBD) approach for 8 storey RC frame building in DDBD methodology the displacement profile is calculated and the given MDOF is converted to equivalent single degree of freedom system. After calculating the effective period, secant stiffness, and viscous damping of the equivalent structure, the base shear is obtained, based on which the design and detailing process can be carried out. The designed frames as per DDBD and FBD approach are then analyzed using nonlinear pushover analysis to obtain the capacity curves and response reduction factor. Results of the analysis and comparison of ‘R’ factor indicate the efficiency of the DDBD approach for RC frame buildings

Lateral forces are key factors in the design of building structure and in general these forces are evaluated using linear static method with the incorporation of response reduction factor. The actual intensity of lateral force is minimized by response reduction factor. However IS Code 1893:2016 does not give information about the components of response reduction factor. The value mentioned in IS code may be based on expert engineering judgment without any scientific basis. The Present research work focus on the estimation of response reduction factor (R) of SMRF frames considering slope terrain without any impairment in slope in Zone V. Fifteen frame models are prepared according to the guideline of IS Code 456:2000 and lateral load on frame was assigned as per IS 1893:2016 (Part-1) for the research purposes. Evaluation of response Reduction Factor according to Applied Technical Council (ATC-19) is carried out which stated that response reduction factor is the product of Strength factor, Redundancy factor and Ductility factor. Pushover analysis also termed as nonlinear static analysis under displacement control method is performed on the analytical models by an integrated finite element software for structural analysis and design called ETABS 2017. P-delta governs the geometrical non-linearity of structure. It has been observed over strength of regular structure is more as compared to irregular geometrical model whereas the ductility reduction factor does not show any significant trend. Moreover, all the models are limited in 6 story only with same structural property additional research is needed considering wider set of parameters framework.


Seismic analysis is considered as an important parameter for any structural design. The strength and ductility of frame members in seismic design depends on the response reduction factor. In this paper four symmetrically framed structures are considered of different heights under the critical zone condition. The primary emphases of this work is regarding calculation of response reduction factor values attained from designing RC framed structures. The results are computed by applying non-linear static pushover analysis. SAP-2000 software is used for analyzing the non-linear behaviour of the structure.


Recent past growth of multi-story buildings structures with emphasis on steel has been found satisfactory. For solving the better-quality accommodation in the region where the chances of earthquakes are likely, role of bracing system enhances the performance of building under lateral load effect of earthquakes. Various methods of bracing systems are available in practices however, eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are fairly new lateral force resisting system established to resist seismic event in a probable manner. Properly designed and detailed EBFs perform in a ductile manner through shear or flexural yielding of link element. The ductile yielding indicates wide hysteresis loop, which is excellent energy dissipation essential for high seismic event. The seismic performance of multi-story steel frame is designed according to the Indian code (IS800:2007). A simple computer-based pushover analysis is a procedure for performance-based design of buildings subjected to earthquake loading. Pushover analysis gets much importance in the past due to its ease and efficiency of the results. In this study eight frames were taken,among these, six frames which were braced as V, Inverted V, and Diagonal and remaining two are frames without bracing in two alternate heights (4 and 8 story). Seismic response of frames is studied using non-linear static analysis (pushover analysis) in terms of base shear, roof displacement, spectral displacement, spectral acceleration and story drift.

In the present work, an attempt is made to investigate response reduction factor (R) values of different soil types by using nonlinear static (Pushover) analysis for R.C. elevated rectangular water tank structure. All the parameters were investigated by varying properties of soft, medium and hard soils to cover a method of nonlinear static (Pushover) analysis. The zone factor (Z) kept constant Z – III for pandharpur site location and capacity of 150 m3 tank full in condition. This has resulted into SAP 2000 finite element software. The analysis of response reduction factor (R) value was done under three different soil conditions i.e. soft soil properties, medium soil properties, and hard soil properties. Response reduction factor (R) values indicate that R.C. elevated rectangular water tank structure without soil properties behaves quite the one value as per codal provisions.
