Seismic Response of RC Building with Different Types of Bracings and Shear Wall in Different Seismic Zones

K.B. Mohankumar and Vinayak Vijapur


Abstract
This work focuses on comparison of seismic analysis of G+12 building stiffened with bracings and shear wall. The performance of the building is analyzed in Zone III, Zone IV and Zone V, with soil type II (Medium). The study includes understanding the main consideration factor that leads the structure to perform poorly during earthquake in order to achieve their appropriate behavior under future earthquakes. The analyzed structure is symmetrical, G+12, Special RC moment-resting frame (SMRF). Modeling of the structure is done as per ETABS 2015 software. Time period of the structure in both the direction is retrieve from the software and as per IS 1893(part 1):2002 seismic analysis has undergone. The Lateral seismic force of RC frame is carried out using linear static method as per IS 1893(part 1): 2002 for different earthquake zones. The scope of present work is to understand that the structures need to have suitable Earthquake resisting features to safely resist large lateral forces that are imposed on them during Earthquake. Shear walls are efficient, both in terms of construction cost replicas relojes and effectiveness in minimizing Earthquake damage in structure. Also the braced frames can absorb great degree of energy exerted by earthquake. The results of the performance and the analysis of the models are then graphically represented and also in tabular form and is compared for determining the best performance of building against lateral stiffness by arrangement of two types of bracings and shear wall. A comparative analysis is done in terms of Base shear, Displacement, Modal time period and modal frequency, Storey acceleration and storey drift.
