An earthquake is a sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the earth’s surface. Earthquakes are among the most powerful events on earth, and their results can be terrifying. In0general for0design of tall0buildings both0wind as well0as earthquake0loads need0to be0considered. Governing0criteria for0carrying out0dynamic analyses0for earthquake0loads are different0from wind0loads. However many tall buildings are not so resistant in lateral loads due to earthquake. Reinforced concrete multi-storied buildings in India were for the first time subjected to a strong ground motion shaking in Bhuj earthquake. It has been concluded that the principal reasons of failure may be attributed to soft stories, floating columns, mass irregularities, poor quality of construction materials faulty construction methods, unstable earthquake response, soil and infrastructure, which were determined to cause damage to the attached structure. High-rise buildings are in high demand due to global urbanization and population growth, and high-rise buildings are likely to suffer the most damage from earthquakes. Since earthquake forces are irregular and unnatural in nature, engineering tools need to be sharpened to analyze the structure in the work of these forces. In this study, to understand the behaviour of structure located in seismic zones III for G+15 Multi-Purpose storey building model is considered for study. Performance of frame is studied through Response Spectrum analysis and comparison is made on shear force, storey drift, storey displacement and storey stiffness.

Advances in construction technology, materials, structural systems and analytical methods for analysis and design facilitated the growth of high rise buildings. Structural design of high rise buildings is governed by lateral loads due to wind or earthquake. Lateral load resistance of structure is provided by interior structural system or exterior structural system. It is very important that the selected structural system is such that the structural elements are utilized effectively while satisfying design requirements. Recently diagrid structural system is adopted in tall buildings due to its structural efficiency and flexibility in architectural planning. diagrid structure consists of inclined columns on the exterior surface of building. Due to inclined columns lateral loads are resisted by axial action of the diagonal. lateral shear can be carried by the diagonals on the periphery of building. Analysis and design of 30 story diagrid steel building is presented. A regular floor plan of 36 m × 36m size is considered. ETABS software is used for modeling and analysis of structural members. All structural members are designed as per IS 800:2007 considering all load combinations. Earthquake is considered for analysis of the structure. Load distribution in diagrid system is also studied for 36 storey building. Similarly, analysis for the different diagrid pattern is carried out. Comparison of analysis results in terms of time period, top storey displacement and storey drift is presented in this paper.

Seismic response spectra are amongst one of the most important tools for characterizing earthquake ground motions. In design practice, the response spectra are presented without including any load history, hence the nonlinear analysis of structures based solely on conventional earthquake response spectra is theoretically unsound, particularly for long-period or vertically irregular high-rise buildings. In this paper, a concept of seismic damage evolution is introduced and the method of analysis for characterizing the process of seismic damage to structures under earthquakes is presented. Seismic damage evolution spectra for analysis and design of high-rise buildings are then developed as an effective means of describing and simplifying earthquake ground motions. These spectra are shown to be very useful in selecting the ground motion-time history and, particularly, validating the equivalent static-load analysis and design of high-rise buildings under near-fault pulse-like ground motions. Case studies of the seismic inelastic performance of two vertically irregular, tall buildings are presented considering the seismic damage evolution spectra.

Structural design of high rise buildings is governed by lateral loads due to wind or earthquake. As the height of building increases, the lateral load resisting system becomes more important than the structural system that resists the gravitational loads. Recently, diagrid structural system are widely used for tall buildings due to its structural efficiency and flexibility in architectural planning. Diagrid structural system is made around the perimeter of building in the form of a triangulated truss system by intersecting the diagonal and horizontal members. Diagonal members in diagrid structural systems can carry gravity loads as well as lateral loads. Lateral loads are resisted by axial action of the diagonals compared to bending of vertical columns in framed tube structure. The structural efficiency of diagrid system also helps in avoiding interior and corner columns, thereby allowing significant flexibility with the floor plan. In this paper, effect of lateral loads on steel diagrid buildings are studied. Square and rectangular buildings of same plan area with diagrid structural system is considered for the study. Diagrid modules extending upto 2,4,6,8 and 12 storeys are evaluated. Static analysis for the gravity loads, wind and earthquake and response spectrum analysis are carried out for these different combinations of plan shape and diagrid modules and performance of all these diagrid models i.e., storey displacement, storey drift and modal time period are evaluated and compared in this study.

Performance-based seismic design (PBSD) has been recognized as a framework for designing new buildings in the United States in recent years. Various guidelines and standards have been developed to codify and document the implementation of PBSD, including “ Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings” (ASCE 41-17), the Tall Buildings Initiative’s Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings (TBI Guidelines), and the Los Angeles Tall Buildings Structural Design Council’s An Alternative Procedure for Seismic Analysis and Design of Tall Buildings Located in the Los Angeles Region (LATBSDC Procedure). The main goal of these documents is to regularize the implementation of PBSD for practicing engineers. These documents were developed independently with experts from varying backgrounds and organizations and consequently have differences in several degrees from basic intent to the details of the implementation. As the main objective of PBSD is to ensure a specified building performance, these documents would be expected to provide similar recommendations for achieving a given performance objective for new buildings. This article provides a detailed comparison among each document’s implementation of PBSD for reinforced concrete buildings, with the goal of highlighting the differences among these documents and identifying provisions in which the designed building may achieve varied performance depending on the chosen standard/guideline. This comparison can help committees developing these documents to be aware of their differences, investigate the sources of their divergence, and bring these documents closer to common ground in future cycles.

Nowadays, as in the urban areas the space available for the construction of buildings is limited. So in limited space we have to construct such type of buildings which can be used for multiple purposes such as lobbies, car parking etc. To fulfill this demand, high rise buildings is the only option available. The performance of a high rise building during strong earthquake motion depends on the distribution of stiffness, strength and mass along both the vertical and horizontal directions. If there is discontinuity in stiffness, strength and mass between adjoining storeys of a building then such a building is known as irregular building. The present study focuses on the seismic performance of regular and vertical irregular building with and without masonary infills. In the present study G+11 building is considered for the analysis with modelling and analysis done on ETABS software v17.0.1. The earthquake forces are calculated as per IS 1893 (part 1): 2016 for seismic zone III. The width of strut is calculated by using equivalent diagonal strut method. Total five models are considered for the analysis i.e. regular building with bare frame, regular building with masonary infill, soft storey building with open ground storey, mass irregular building with masonary infill and vertical geometric irregular building with masonary infill. The non-linear static analysis (pushover analysis) and linear dynamic analysis (response spectrum analysis) are performed for all the models and thereby compare their results. From analysis, the parameters like performance point, time period, maximum storey displacement, maximum storey drifts, storey shears and overturning moments are determined and also comparative study is done for all the models. From the comparison, it is observed that the vertical geometric irregular building shows better performance under seismic loading and bare frame building shows inferior performance. Moreover, the performance of masonary infilled frame building is f

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.


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.

For super high-rise buildings, the analysis and selection of suitable structural solutions are very important. The structure has not only to carry the gravity loads (self-weight, live load, etc.), but also to resist lateral loads (wind and earthquake loads). As the buildings become taller, the demand on different structural systems dramatically increases. The article considers the division of the structural systems of tall buildings into two main categories - interior structures for which the major part of the lateral load resisting system is located within the interior of the building, and exterior structures for which the major part of the lateral load resisting system is located at the building perimeter. The basic types of each of the main structural categories are described. In particular, the framed tube structures, which belong to the second main category of exterior structures, seem to be very efficient. That type of structure system allows tall buildings resist the lateral loads. However, those tube systems are affected by shear lag effect - a nonlinear distribution of stresses across the sides of the section, which is commonly found in box girders under lateral loads. Based on a numerical example, some general conclusions for the influence of the shear-lag effect on frequencies, periods, distribution and variation of the magnitude of the internal forces in the structure are presented.

Spectrum-compatible earthquake time histories have been widely used for seismic analysis and design. In this paper, a data processing method, Hilbert-Huang transform, is applied to generate earthquake time histories compatible with the target seismic design spectra based on multiple actual earthquake records. Each actual earthquake record is decomposed into several components of time-dependent amplitude and frequency by Hilbert-Huang transform. The spectrum-compatible earthquake time history is obtained by solving an optimization problem to minimize the relative difference between the response spectrum of the generated time history and the target seismic design spectra. Since the basis for generating spectrum-compatible earthquake time histories is derived from actual earthquake records by employing the Hilbert-Huang transform, the nonstationary characteristics and the natural properties of the seed earthquake records are well preserved in the generated earthquake time histories.
