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 Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Structures Coupled with O-Grid Bracing Systems
Abstract: The greatest challenge for structural engineers is to design the structures to be earthquake resistant. Basically, the earthquake-resistant design of reinforced concrete structures is a force-based design. When a structure is designed for seismic resistance, various systems are embedded into the structure so as to resist the lateral forces. One of the systems, which are used for resisting lateral forces, is to provide the structures with different types of bracings. …
