PLANNING & DESIGN OF EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT

BUILDING

ABSTRACT
It is a common practice to model a multi storied tall building as a frame structure
where the load structure design are supported by beams and column.
Intrinsically the structural strength provided by the walls and slabs are neglected
as the building height is increasing the effects of lateral load on multi storey and
structural increase considerably the consideration of walls and slab in the structural
modelling in addition to the frame structure load to improve lateral stiffness those a
more economical structural design can be achieved.
In this academic project structural analysis & design of multi storied building
[G+6] has been performed to investigate the effect of building or structure subjected
to earthquake resistant load is studied. The structure was subjected to dead load, live load
and seismic loads under the load case details of ETABS. The seismic load values were
generated by ETABS & Seismic load calculations were done following IS 1893-2000.
The minimum requirements pertaining to the structural safety of buildings are being
covered by way of laying down minimum design loads which have to be assumed for dead
loads, imposed loads, and other external loads, the structure would be required to bear. Strict
conformity to loading standards recommended, it is hoped, will ensure the structural safety of
the buildings which are being designed.
