Seismic Analysis of Regular and Vertical Irregular RC Buildings
Abstract
Reinforced concrete multi storey buildings are
subjected to severe earthquakes. It was found that the main
reason for failure of RC building is irregularity in its
dimension and its lateral force resisting system. In this paper
an analytical study is made to find response of different
regular and vertical irregular structures such as mass,
stiffness and geometry irregularity located in moderate zone
III. Analysis has been made by taking 10 and 20 storey
building by static and dynamic methods using ETABS 2013
and IS code 1893-2002 (part1). Behavior of structures will be
found by comparing responses in the form of storey
displacement, story drift and base shear for regular and
vertical irregular structures. Different types of analysis
methods such as equivalent static method, response spectrum
and time history method are adopted. One is of regular
structure and remaining are vertical irregular structural
models. This paper shows that behavior vertical irregular
structures as compared to regular structure.
