The Buildings on the hills differs from other buildings constructed in plain terrain. Each floor of building steps back towards the hill slope and at the same time buildings may have designed with setbacks configuration also. Buildings constructed in hilly areas are more vulnerable to seismic environment. This study is on generating a 3D analytical model of multi-storey buildings analyzed using structural analysis tool ‘ETABS” to study the effect of varying height of columns due to sloping ground and the effect of bracing at different positions in a different configuration of the building during an earthquake. Seismic analysis has been done using the response spectrum method. The performance of the buildings on the sloping ground is highly vulnerable to earthquake on each storey level. Buildings resting on sloping ground with step back configuration are compared to buildings resting on the plain ground with same type load applied to each of the structure. From this study entire modelling the behaviour of normal ten storey building, step back, set-step back ten storey building is studied, it is found that the displacement and base shear value shows the performance of step back building and set-step back building. This is research also focus on effective placement of bracing with different types and in different positions. The displacement values show better performance by providing X bracing in the lateral direction.

Buildings that rest on sloping ground are different from those that rest on level ground. Buildings located on sloping ground are much more prone to earthquakes because they are, in general, irregular, asymmetrical and tensional. Therefore, the movement of the ground affects them much more. Therefore, there is increased insertion of the shear wall to resist side loading. In this work, the multi-storey building G + 20 is analyzed on slopes of 0o and 24o. For the improvement and analysis of full-filled shear walls, GMT, type L and type C soft soil is used. The structure is analyzed by the response spectrum method and responses such as displacement, ground deviation, period and base slices are evaluated and compared using E-TAB software.

Structural Engineers

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.

Abstract: Due to sloping land and high seismically active zones, designing and construction of multistory buildings in hilly regions is always a challenge for structural engineers. This review paper focuses to establish a review study on the Possible Types of building frame configuration in the hilly region and he behavior of Such building frames under seismic loading conditions, and (3) The recent research and developments to make such frames less vulnerable to earthquakes. This paper concludes that the dynamics characteristics of such buildings are significantly different in both horizontal and vertical directions, resulting in the center of mass and center of stiffness having eccentricity at point of action and not vertically aligned for different floors. When such frames are subjected to lateral loads, due to eccentricity it generates torsion in the frame. Most of the studies agree that the buildings resting on slanting ground have higher displacement and base shear compared to buildings resting on plain ground and the shorter column attracts more forces and undergoes damage when subjected to earthquake. Keywords: Building frame configuration, Seismic behavior, Dynamic characteristics, Response spectrum analysis, time history analysis.

The RC buildings' construction has increased in the preferred location of north & eastern hilly areas during the last few decades due to population increase, urbanization, and tourists. The buildings located in the hilly areas are more susceptible to seismic loading as compared to the location of the flat surface building. The shape of the building on the sloping ground differs from the flat surface situated buildings. So, the construction of the building on hilly areas are irregular both vertically & horizontally, thus this type of building is susceptible to severe damage when applied to the seismic condition. The column of the base storey having unequal height due to sloping ground. In this study, the behaviour of a 10 storey stepback building with mass and diaphragm irregularity on the sloping ground is analysed in seismic zone V by Response Spectrum. The analysis of the building is carried out by Etabs software as per IS 1893:2016 to compare the building based on their dynamic response and also identify the vulnerability frame in the sloping ground.

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.

Seismic analysis of structural systems with floor diaphragms has been a requisite in the recent past. The duty of a structural engineer is to be prudent about the behavior of every structural system adopted. Amongst the structural systems that are adopted world over, diaphragm with rigid and semi-rigid floor plate are adopted widely in the analysis. This research focuses on the backstay effect i.e. podium structural interaction with the tower area and consideration of retaining wall as increment of lateral stiffness as specified in latest tall building code IS6700:2016 for low and high rise structures. In the current study models were prepared with low to high rise storeys with rigid and flexible diaphragms considering backstay diaphragm placing tower at center and corner. The models were subjected to seismic forces; response spectrum along with the combination of the gravity loads. The structural responses like natural periods, base shear, displacement and inter storey drift were also studied.

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.

In this study, the effect of different types of slabs on dynamic characteristics of structures under the lateral loading was investigated. For this purpose, four different types of slabs namely, beamed slab, flat slab, one way ribbed (hollow core) slab and waffle slab have been modeled in buildings having 3, 4 and 5 storeys with the same geometric dimensions, in accordance to design and construction requirements (TS 500) and Turkish building seismic codes (TBDY, 2018). Seismic analysis calculations of the modeled buildings were done using the equivalent seismic load method. The assumed local soil class was taken from the geotechnical report as ZD. As a result of the analysis, natural periods, base shear forces, maximum horizontal displacements and relative storey drifts of the buildings were compared. Seismic analysis and calculations of the buildings were completed using SAP2000 finite element software.

Abstract: In This I have studied the seismic response of various types of slab in commercial buildings and their seismic behavior is studied. As we know every year uncountable number of earthquakes occur at different places, that means, small movements of tectonic plates occur all the time causing earthquakes. A seismic resistant designed building can provide safety for more people. slabs and roofs needed more columns if we design seismic resistant design but at some places like airport, shopping mall, commercial building more column can create some problem. To overcome this problem seismic design of grid slab or waffle slabs was comes out. Grid /Waffle slab consists of Concrete beams spaced at uniform intervals in perpendicular directions which are monolithically casted with slab and they are more safe in earthquake situation as comparison of to normal conventional slab.

Nowadays, the number of buildings is constructed and designed according to the requirements and aesthetic viewpoints of the buildings every day. Most buildings are constructed in a certain spatial configuration, such as X-shaped, V-shaped, and the x and y coordinates are not parallel to the structure. The earthquake caused more damage to the different structures of the building. The main problem is the slenderness ratio. The main purpose of this project is to compare the dynamic characteristics of buildings with different structural configurations in seismic zones and soil types. In this study, a 12-story space configuration structure was considered, and the height of 3m on each floor did not exceed 36m, with shear walls and supports at different positions of the building. The dynamic behaviour of buildings in all seismic zones of magnitude III and on different types of soil (such as media) is studied. The structure has peripheral beams that carry RC shear walls with a thickness of 230 mm. The response spectrum analysis was carried out by using software of ETABS version
