Finite element analysis using Staad-Pro for irregular L-shape Building by Time History Analysis
Abstract: To perform well in an earthquake, a building should possess four main attributes, namelysimple and regular configuration, and adequate lateral strength, stiffness and ductility.Buildings having simple regular geometry and uniformly distributed mass and stiffness inplanes well as in elevation, suffer much less damage than buildings with irregularconfigurations. Impairment can be in the form of loss of non-structural element, damage tostructural components, and collapse of structural element leading to progressive failure …

Seismic Analysis of G+10 Storey Building Using Structural Light weight and Normal Weight Concrete
Abstract: Concrete is considered a slight weight concrete which has density of less than 2000 kg/????3. The Structural Lightweight Concrete (SLWC) is mainly used to reduce the dead load of concrete structure. The purpose of this research is to examine and compare the results of Structural lightweight concrete by adding perlite with Normal Weight Concrete multistorey building. Often these multistorey buildings are constructed of ordinary concrete, steel, and other materials, and …

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 …

Investigation of Seismic Pounding Effect on Symmetric 10 Storey Reinforced Concrete Buildings Using SAP2000
Abstract: ABSTRACT Earthquakes have historically been responsible for significant structural failures, often resulting in substantial economic losses and endangering human lives. One notable failure mechanism observed during seismic activity is seismic pounding, which occurs when adjacent buildings collide due to insufficient separation gaps. This phenomenon is particularly concerning in densely populated urban areas where space constraints often prevent the provision of adequate clearances between structures. Such impacts can lead to severe …

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, …

Effect of Shear Wall on Seismic Performance of High Rise Building Adopting Linear Dynamic Analysis
Abstract: Earlier, the buildings were designed for only dead loads not for the seismic loads. But, as the populations go on increasing and there is limited space available for living. So now a day we raise the height of the structures, as height is increases different parameters affects the structure like seismic loads and wind loads. Seismic force is a lateral horizontal force acting on throughout the height of the building. …

ANALYTICAL STUDY OF SEISMIC RESPONSE OF DOUBLE TOWER BUILDING ON A COMMON PODIUM
Abstract: Abstract The recent surge in global population, particularly in urban areas, has led to a significant rise in the demand for tall buildings structures featuring multiple towers on a shared podium. Such complex configurations often result in intricate interactions between towers and podium structures, particularly under lateral loads induced by earthquakes. One of the critical structural behaviours observed in such systems is the backstay effect, which arises due to discontinuities …
