Group-Theoretic Symmetry Indices for Modular Building Layouts under Seismic Load Redistribution
Abstract: Symmetry in modular buildings operates simultaneously as an architectural language, a structural regularizer, and a computational design variable. This paper develops a group-theoretic framework for evaluating and optimizing plan symmetry in modular buildings subjected to seismic load redistribution. The building layout is modeled as a finite occupancy–stiffness field defined on a rectangular lattice, where each module encodes both mass and stiffness contributions. Planar reflections and quarter-turn rotations are represented as …

Analysis and A.I. Modelling of Parameters of Symmetrical Multistory Building using Non-linear Static Analysis
Abstract: Non-linear static analysis (Push over Analysis) is the emerging field in seismic design of structures.The major drawback of elastic analysis is that the response beyond the linear state is neither linearnor simple extrapolation. Although elastic analysis gives a good indication of the elastic capacity ofstructures, but it cannot account for redistribution of forces during progressive yielding of a structurethat follows and to predict its failure mechanism or detect possible location …

Dynamic Analysis of Irregular Building with Box Type Shear Wall at Center under Different Type of Soil
Abstract: Building engineers are being shown to accept high-rise construction due to increase shortage and land cost. The development of high-rise buildings presents many challenges with the type of lateral load. In high-rise buildings getting better efficiency and the high-strength shear wall is an effective solution. The Optimum location of the shear wall depends upon the structural shape of buildings.

Piled Raft Design Approach for a High Rise Building on Tithal Road, Valsad, Gujarat
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe piled raft foundation has been efficiently used for the foundation of high rise structures. A typical high rise building generally imparts higher load on central core area due to existence of lifts, elevators and shear walls, comparison to the edge area. The shallow foundation may not control the settlement and the pile foundation cost may be expansive for the foundation of high rise structures. The piled raft foundation can …

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 …

Building Behaviour on Sloping Ground With & Without Diaphragm: Earthquake Zone-IV
Abstract: The period 1996 to 2015, 7,056 disasters recorded worldwide. 1.35 million People killed by natural hazards over the past 20 years, more than half died in earthquakes. The poorest nations paid the highest price in terms of the numbers killed per disaster and per 1,300,000 populations. Earthquake load is major effect on buildings especially on sloping grounds. Earthquake zone-IV is twice times more dangerous compare with zone-III. In the present …

Study on the Response of Strengthening Strategies for Masonry-Infilled Open Ground Storey Framed Building
Abstract: The strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry-infill wall and with open ground storey is a very timely and significant topic because of the poor performance against seismic action. The absence of infill walls in the ground storey makes the ground storey less stiff and weaker than the all upper story’s which results in a poor performance against lateral loads. Soft storey mechanism prevails in these cases and …
