Abstract: Infill walls are inevitable components of any structure to create dispassion between interior space and external condition. In general, there are some prevalent openings inside the infill walls because of practical needs, architectural observations or aesthetic inspections. In current design practice, strength and inflexibility contribution of infill walls aren't thought of. However, the presence of infill walls may impact the seismic reaction of structures exposed to earthquake loads and cause a conduct which is not the same as that estimated for a bare frame. Additionally, partial openings inside infill walls are significant parameter prompting the seismic behaviour of infilled frames in this manner retreating lateral stiffness and strength. In this study is proposed to compare various models of buildings considering the openings (10% of surface area) at different locations in the infill walls for the seismic behaviour. A G+13 residential building is considered in Zone III with soil type II and analysis is carried out by Response Spectrum Method. Various parameters are considered such as Natural Time period, Base shear, Storey displacement, Storey drift and Storey stiffness were studied. The comparative study could simplify designers and code developers in selecting and recommending appropriate analytical models for estimating strength, stiffness, failure modes and other properties of infill frames with openings. Keywords: Residential Building, Openings Infill Wall, ETAB Software, Natural Time Period, Base Shear, Storey Shear, Storey Displacement, Storey Drift, Storey Stiffness.


The offshore jacket platforms are primarily installed in the large oceans mainly for drilling the crude oil, carbohydrates and production of electricity. The current studies emphasize on the structural performance of offshore deck jacket platform with different bracing systems. Earthquake analysis has been performed to calculate the seismic responses, with the help of bracings to control the seismic induced vibrations of the jacket platforms. For this study, a jacket platform made up of steel members has been modeled and then analyzed under earthquake and wave loadings. This paper mainly deals to compute and compare the seismic behavior of offshore steel deck platform using SAP 2000 v20 software with bracing in the horizontal plane and bracing in both horizontal and vertical planes. The total number of 8 models has been analyzed in the SAP2000 software with bracing i.e. X, V, Inverted V and K in the vertical plane and bracing i.e. X, V, Inverted V and K in both horizontal and vertical plane. A relative study has been carried out in Time period, deck displacement and base shear. Seismic analysis using linear static, i.e. Equivalent static method (ESA) and linear dynamic, i.e. Response spectrum method (RSA) has been performed. Further deck displacement, time period and base shear are determined by Equivalent static method and Response spectrum method for various types of bracing models in both horizontal and vertical planes. Among the all various types of bracing models, Inverted V bracing in the vertical plane is found to be the optimum model among all other models.

The multiple earthquakes have proved the effect of chained masonry walls on the seismic behavior of multistoried reinforced concrete buildings. The chained masonry walls have been considered one of the types of masonry infill walls but without gaps. This participation came intending to study this effect through the modeling of several two-dimensional frames for a multistoried reinforced concrete building, taking into account the hollow brick walls, which represent the most common type in Algeria. We analyzed the proposed models using ETABS finite element software, relying on the response spectrum method and respecting the most important requirements according to the applicable Algerian Seismic Code. After analysis of the different models, the results have been compared according to the parameters of the period, base shear, lateral displacement, and stiffness. Through a critical synthesis of the results, we concluded that these walls could significantly affect the seismic behavior of this type of buildings. Moreover, the neglect of these walls in the modeling process can lead designers to have a false perception of the behavior of these buildings towards seismic loadings.    


This project presents an attempt to do static, dynamic and progressive collapse analysis of multistory (G+10) residential building by ETABS (Extended 3D Analysis of Building Systems). ETABS is software that helps to anatomization and design of low and high-rise buildings and frame structures. In this project G+10 RC frame building is analysis statically (linear method) and dynamically (Response Spectrum method) along with Progressive Collapse analysis. All the members of the project are analyzed as per Indian codes IS 456:2000, IS 800:2007, and IS 1893:2002 (part1) code using this software. Here the result for Story stiffness, Base shear, Story Shear, Overturning moments, Maximum displacement, and Story Drift is compared between static and dynamic results for Zone2-(case1), Zone3-(case2), Zone4-(case3), Zone5-(case4) with medium soil type and for Progressive Collapse analysis GSA guidelines are followed. As per GSA guidelines three column removal cases for each case1, case2, case3, and case4 individually studied, namely Corner column removal, Exterior column removal and interior column removal at ground floor. For all three cases linear analysis study has been undertaken and DCR ratios are evaluated. Member having DCR ratio greater than 2 will going to fail for corresponding column removal case.

Abstract: In India multistoried buildings are widely designed with the method suggested by Indian Standard IS1893: Part-1:2016, Criteria for the Earthquake resistance design of the structures: General Provision and Buildings for the calculation of equivalent horizontal load generated during earthquake. Response Spectrum method is widely used for the multistoried buildings with base shear scaled to get the equal value as calculated with the time period obtained by the empirical formula of time period of the buildings. The approach of the dynamic analysis is basically a linear approach. In this scenario we are totally relying on ductility of the structure. The concept for performing the Pushover Analysis is to analyze a structure with non linear approach and to find the behavior of structure beyond its ductile limit. Pushover analysis can help to demonstrate how progressive failure in building really occurs and to identify the mode of final failure of the buildings. Pushover analysis is commonly used to evaluate the seismic capacity of existing structures and appears in several recent guidelines for retrofit seismic design. It can also be useful for performance-based design of new buildings that rely on ductility or redundancies to resist earthquake forces. So basically Pushover analysis is non linear approach to estimate the strength capacity of the structure beyond Limit State. In this analysis we can predicts the weak areas in the building and keeping track of the sequence of damages of each and every member in the building/structure, thus can be performed for existing structure and also for performance base design, similarly for progressive collapse analysis. The approach is easy to understand, when we designed or analyze a moment resisting frame as per IS 1893:2016 by Response Spectrum method with response spectrum method with the response reduction factor 5 i.e. R=5, we are basically designing the structure with 1/5th horizontal load (calculated with the empirical formula given in IS 1893:2016), the rest 4/5th load is basically taken care by the ductile behavior of the building. The ductile detailing suggested by the 13920:2016 will resist the full impact of seismic load without collapse. The distribution and impact of the full horizontal load can be analyzed with the non linear approach, and pushover analysis is one of them. METHODLOGY: A pushover analysis is performed by subjecting a structure to a monotonically increasing pattern of lateral loads, representing the inertial forces which would be experienced by the structure when subjected to ground shaking. Under incrementally increasing loads various structural elements may yield sequentially. Consequently, at each event, the structure experiences a loss in stiffness. Using a pushover analysis, a characteristic non linear force displacement relationship can be determined. Key elements of the pushover analysis 1) Definition of plastic hinges, it includes hinges for uncoupled moment, hinges for uncoupled axial load, hinges for uncoupled shear force, hinges for coupled axial force and hinges for biaxial bending moment. 2) Definition for control node, the node used to monitor the displacement of the structures. Pushover curve is obtained from the displacement verses base shear. 3) Developing the pushover curve which includes the elevation of the forces distribution 4) Estimation of the displacement demand. 5) Evaluation of performance level for the structure

 In L-shape building, lift core wall is an important element for strengthening the structure of high seismic zone area. Seismic zone V is considered for most of the buildings in Nepal, which will cause maximum base shear to the structure. This study focuses the use of lift core in five and ten-storey building to resist the seismic forces, and the effect of the lift core is also taken into consideration. Based on the location of the lift core, these building are further subdivided into different models; Lift at outer corner (model 1), lift at lower edge corner (model 2), lift at upper edge corner (model 3), lift at lower and upper edge corner (model 4), lift at inner corner (model 5), and lift at inner and outer corner (model 6). Equivalent static method and response spectrum analysis was used for the analysis. The structural responses were measured in terms of modal periods, displacement, drift ratio, and torsional irregularities. Results from this study indicate that building with lift core wall at inner and outer (model 6) and lift at lower and upper edge corner (model 4) shows the minimum drift ratio, torsional irregularities, displacement and natural time period which lies within permissible limit of torsional irregularities. Hence, it can be concluded that the location of the lift core affects the torsion of an L-shape plan asymmetric building. Designing two lift core at the inner and outer corner (model 6) and lower and upper edge corner (model 4) is found to be effective in reducing the torsion.


Advancement in the building construction technology and structural analysis the tall structures have been significantly increased due to over growing population and for land mark of country. The tall structures are more prone to lateral load. In this study different forms of tubular structure are used to resist the Earthquake forces. Tubular structures are made based on the idea that building is design to act like a hollow cylinder cantilever perpendicular to the grounds. The aim of this paper is to present the seismic performance of tubular structure with and without central core. The Framed tube system, Tube in tube system, Bundled tube system, Braced tube system and Moment resisting Frame was analyzed to draw the comparison on the basis of base shear, storey drift, time period and storey shear satisfying the structural codes- IS 456-2000, IS 1893(Part 1):2016 in E-TABs software by Response spectrum method.

Structural engineers routinely use rational dynamic analysis methods for the seismic analysis of buildings. In linear analysis based on modal superposition or response spectrum approaches, the overall response of a structure (for instance, base shear or inter-storey drift) is obtained by combining the responses in several vibration modes. These modal responses depend on the input load, but also on the dynamic characteristics of the building, such as its natural periods, mode shapes, and damping. At the design stage, engineers can only predict the natural periods using eigenvalue analysis of structural models or empirical equations provided in building codes. However, once a building is constructed, it is possible to measure more precisely its dynamic properties using a variety of in situ dynamic tests. In this paper, we use ambient motions recorded in 27 reinforced concrete shear wall (RCSW) buildings in Montréal to examine how various empirical models to predict the natural periods of RCSW buildings compare to the periods measured in actual buildings under ambient loading conditions. We show that a model in which the fundamental period of RCSW buildings varies linearly with building height would be a significant improvement over the period equation proposed in the 2010 National Building Code of Canada. Models to predict the natural periods of the first two torsion modes and second sway modes are also presented, along with their uncertainty.
