Comparative Analysis of RCC Diagrid Building with conventional Building By E-TAB Software
Abstract: AbstractThe rapid growth of urban population and limitation of available land the taller structures are growing up now days. Structure design of high rise buildings is governed by the lateral loads due to wind or earthquake. Lateral load resistance of structure is provided by shear wall, wall frame, braced tube system, outrigger and tubular system. Recently the Diagrid-Diagonal grid system is widely used for tall buildings due to its structural …

Experimental Study on Effectiveness of TMD in Reducing Torsional Motion under Harmonic Base Motion
Abstract: AbstractAsymmetry in the building could arise due to unsymmetrical distribution of mass, stiffness, damping and/or strength characteristics. The earthquake response of asymmetric buildings is characterized by coupling between translational and rotational degrees of freedom (dofs). This paper includes an experimental analysis of one storied asymmetrical building frame subjected to harmonic motion with and without tuned mass damper (TMD). Experimentation is done on a shake table and readings were recorded. The …

Progressive Collapse Prevention Analysis of Multi-Storeyed Buildings by Using Pushover Analysis
Abstract: AbstractThis paper investigates an actual structure’s potential to break due to progressive collapse. This report looks into the progressive collapse resistance of high-rise RC structures. Progressive collapse of building constructions, primarily concentrates on concrete structures. Progressive collapse of a structure occurs when major structural load carrying members are removed suddenly. A progressive collapse is initiated as a consequence of local structural damages. It produces a chain reaction mechanism, into a …

Seismic Analysis of Vertically Regular and Irregular Building with and without Soft Storey at Different Levels
Abstract: AbstractFor fulfilling functional requirement of community like parking lots, lobbies etc. and increasing unbalance of required area to availability, it is necessary to provide open storeys without brick infill in both types of buildings, that is, in commercial and residential buildings. Open storeys without brick infill, reduce stiffness and also load exhibits higher stress on load carrying members. Present analytical study has been done to find out performance and evaluation …

EFFECT OF RE-ENTRANT CORNER IRREGULARITY IN A STRUCTURE
Abstract: AbstractIrregularities are not avoidable in construction of a building. Building Structures are almost irregular, as ideal perfect regularity very rarely occurs now days. As far as buildings structures are concerned , for practical use , Indian seismic code divides irregularity in structure which are in plan irregularity and in elevation irregularity, but it had been found and realized that irregularity in structures is the result of a combination of both …

Optimization of steel transmission tower using Firefly algorithm including Wind Load analysis and IS Code checks
Abstract: AbstractTransmission towers have been playing an important role in the power sector. This study isfocused on optimizing the steel transmission towers using firefly algorithm. Metaheuristicshave been widely in use during the recent past. The design of cross sectional areas of themembers is modeled as a continuous variable to determine the optimal values. A newapproach is designed to perform optimization process. This study does not include using ISsteel sections from the …

Lateral Capacity of Coupled Shear Wall
Abstract: AbstractThe aim of this paper is to find the lateral capacity of coupled shear wall by using thenonlinear pushover analysis method. The coupled walls were modelled as equivalent frames(also known as wide column analogy method) and analysed with pushover method usingSAP2000. For validation of this method, experimental and analytical results were compared.The comparison of the results showed that the method used in this paper complies with theexperimental results.Keywords: Coupled shear …

Strength Evaluation of Uniaxial Loaded Rectangular Confined RC Column under Static Load
Abstract: AbstractIS 456:2000 provides the guideline for RC column design and IS 13920:2016 provides the guideline for ductile design and detailing of RC columns to be provided in buildings to be constructed in seismic zones. The confining steel is provided to achieve the desired ductility in RC columns. The constitutive law under monotonic axial compression is proposed by researchers for confined concrete. It gives larger stress and strain values compared to …
