Design of earth-quake resistant multi-storied RCC building on a sloping ground

Abstract

This project named as “DESIGN OF EARTH-QUAKE RESISTANT MULTI-STORIED RCC BUILDING ON A SLOPING GROUND” involves the analysis of simple 2-D frames of varying floor heights and varying no of bays using a very popular software tool STAAD Pro. Using the analysis results various graphs were drawn between the maximum axial force, maximum shear force, maximum bending moment, maximum tensile force and maximum compressive stress being developed for the frames on plane ground and sloping ground. The graphs used to drawn comparison between the two cases and the detailed study of “SHORT COLOUMN EFFECT” failure was carried up. In addition to that the detailed study of seismology was undertaken and the feasibility of the software tool to be used was also checked. Till date many such projects have been undertaken on this very topic but the analysis were generally done for the static loads i.e. dead load, live load etc, but to this the earthquake analysis or seismic analysis is to be incorporated. To create a technical knowhow, two similar categories of structures were analyzed, first on plane ground and another on a sloping ground. Then the results were compared. At last the a structure would be analyzed and designed on sloping ground for all possible load combinations pertaining to IS 456, IS 1893 and IS 13920 manually.
