Effect on Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Cement Concrete Building Considering Soil Structure Interaction
Abstract: Many researches and case studies indicate that soil structure interaction (SSI) has a significant impact on dynamic response of structure, which may lead to unexpected seismic response or failure of structure. Current seismic codes adopt the methods in which, generally, flexibility of soil is not considered in seismic analysis of reinforced cement concrete (RCC) building. In this study, seismic response of a 35 m tall G+9 storey building resting on …

COMPARATIVE SEISMIC RESPONSE OF IRREGULAR HIGH-RISE RCC 25 STOREY BUILDINGS WITH AND WITHOUT SHEAR WALLS CONSIDERING P–DELTA EFFECT
Abstract: The seismic performance of high-rise reinforced concrete (RCC) buildings is significantly affected by plan irregularity, lateral stiffness distribution, and second-order (P–Delta) effects. Irregular structural configurations may generate torsional response and increased deformation demand under seismic excitation while geometric nonlinearity further amplifies displacement and internal forces in tall structures . This study presents a comparative seismic assessment of a G+24 storey RCC building having overall plan dimensions of 30,000 mm × …

Non-Linear Dynamic Analysis of High-Rise Flat Slab Structure with Various Lateral Load Resisting System: Indian Scenario
Abstract: In this technological era, the construction of high-rise flat slab structure is increasing everywhere, due to its major advantages over a conventional beam slab structure. Due to the poor performance of high-rise flat slab structure in higher seismic zones, IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016 discourages the use of flat slab structure in higher seismic zones. The use of high-rise flat slab structure in high seismic region is a risk, because …

Design of Steel Plate Shear Wall with Opening for Steel Building
Abstract: Steel plate shear walls have been used more and more in the steelstructures to resist earthquake and wind forces. This system offersseveral advantages as compared to the other usual lateral load resistingsystems. Steel saving, speed of erection, reduced foundation cost, and increased usable space in buildings are some apparent advantages ofthe steel plate shear walls. Steel plate shear walls also provide majorstiffness against building drift for the hi-rise buildings.This paper …

Effect of Outriggers Location on Performance of RC Building Subjected to Loss of a Column
Abstract: Progressive collapse denotes a failure of substantial part of the structure, causing greater damage to the structure than the initial impact, which has been initiated by failure of a relatively small part of the structure such as failure of any vertical load carrying elements (typically columns). Failure of large part of any structure will result into substantial loss of human lives and natural resources. Therefore, it is important to prevent …

Analysis of Elevated Liquid Storage Tank on Sloping Ground with Variable Heights
Abstract: Past earthquake events have shown that even well-designed elevated water tanks can suffer severe damage or collapse. Much of this damage occurs due to a limited understanding of the behavior and appropriate selection of supporting systems during the design process. With a large mass concentrated at the top of slender supports, these tanks are especially vulnerable to horizontal seismic forces. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the strength and performance …

Review On BIM-Based (Revit+Robot Software) Comparative Wind Load Analysis of High-Rise RCC Buildings in Zone-III, IV and V
Abstract: Wind load is one of the most critical factors influencing the design and serviceability of high-rise reinforced concrete (RCC) buildings. As building height increases, wind-induced effects such as storey drift, lateral displacement, and structural stiffness become dominant design considerations. Numerous studies have been conducted using conventional and advanced techniques such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Building Information Modelling (BIM). However, limited research focuses on comparative …

STUDY OF EFFECT OF SSI ON SEISMIC RESPONSE OF AN IRREGULAR RC STRUCTURE ON SLOPING GROUND AND ITS RESPONSE CONTROL BY USING BRACINGS
Abstract: Structures located on sloping terrain surface are more susceptible to earthquake because of uneven plan and elevation irregularities. Lately, high-rise buildings have been design with various plan and elevation irregularities to elevate their visual aesthetics. In the most of cases, the structural analysis under an earthquake load has been done without considering the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI), thereby it may not reflect the actual seismic response of the structures. …
