Assessing the Impact of Soil-Structure Interaction on Seismic Performance of Step Back and Set Back Buildings on Sloping Ground
Abstract: When constructing framed structures on sloping ground, either step back or step back and set back configurations are typically adopted. Due to the varying heights of columns towards the slope and the unsymmetrical nature of these buildings, they are subject to large forces such as shear forces, bending moments, torsional moments, and unequal distribution. In the past, it was common practice to assume that structures were fixed at the base, …

Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of RC Frame Considering SSI Effect: A Review
Abstract: It is the need of modern era to go for the safe, reliable and economic structure design with special reference to seismic response of the structure. The classical methods which are based on elastic analysis are not able to predict the structural behaviour under the seismic forces. On the other hand the Pushover Analysis (POA) gives more reliable results. The POA is a static –nonlinear analysis. In this method the …

Cost Impact of Structural Irregularities
Abstract: Since absolute regularity is an idealisation that seldom exists, building structures are typically irregular. Building irregularities are unavoidable because of the many practical and aesthetic benefits. The performance of buildings subjected to earthquake pressures has revealed that asymmetric and irregular constructions produce more severe damage than regular structures, and the collapse of these structures may be blamed for the majority of human fatalities. Vertical mass inconsistency is commonly due to …
