In present work, first the multi-storeyed building was analysing taking medium site condition in zone II. Sa/g and Base shear for that building was calculated from IS 1893:2002 (Part 1).After that site specific ground response analysis is carried out for Amravati and Nagpur region soil sites. For development of site specific response spectrum ProSHAKE software is used ProSHAKE is based on one dimensional geotechnical site response model. Site response study is usually carried out using the geotechnical data or Geophysical data (shear wave velocity). Basic aim of present work is to study local site effects on seismic analysis of multi-storeyed Buildings, for this purpose local soil conditions are considered. In the present work various local sites in Amravati and Nagpur region are studied.

The present study describes the analysis and design of high-rise steel building frame with and without Steel plate shear wall (SPSW). Further it is compared with moment resisting steel framed building and X-Braced steel framed building. For present work Response Spectrum Analysis is carried out for steel moment resisting frame building having G+19 storey situated in zone III. Modeling is done by using strip modeling. The analysis of steel plate shear wall and the building are carried out using software SAP2000 V15. The main parameter considered in this project is to compare the seismic performance of buildings i.e. lateral deflection. The models are analyzed by Response Spectrum analysis as per IS 1893:2002 and design has been carried out by using IS 800-2007.

The present decade, high rise multi-storey buildings are subjected to many external effects such as earthquake, wind loads, tidal loads, etc., in most cases high rise buildings have more vulnerable to earthquake and wind loads. Most of the reinforced concrete multi-storeyed frame buildings were heavily damaged and many of them completely collapsed during due earthquakes. RC frame buildings were severely damaged due to various deficiencies when proper codal provisions are not designed. A study is need to study the behaviour of the RC framed structure under earthquake load to reduce the damage caused by earthquake forces In this investigation a RC framed building of G+20 storeyed is considered in several seismic zones under different soils as per Indian Standard code IS 1893(part1):2016, using STAAD. Pro V8i as software tool. Finally evaluate the ultimate Base shear using Equivalent static method and Response spectrum method addressing under design forces.

Structural design is an investigation method of the rigidity, strength and stability of the building. The essential aim in structural analysis and design is to construct a structure capable of overcoming all applied loads without failure during its intended life. This project attempts to understand the structural behavior of various components in the multi-storied building. planning, analysis, designing of multi-storied building has been taken up for residential building (G+2). Thereby depending on the suitability of plan, layout of beams and positions of columns are fixed. Dead loads are calculated based on material properties and live loads are considered according to the code IS875-part 2, footings are designed based on safe bearing capacity of soil. For the design of columns and beams analysis is done by limit state method to know the moments they are acted upon. Slab designing is done depending upon the type of slab (one way or two way), end conditions and the loading. From the slabs the loads are transferred to the beams, thereafter the loads from the beams are taken up by the columns and then to footing finally the section is checked for the components manually and using STAAD Pro V8i software for the analysis of structure, maximum shear force, maximum bending moment are computed.

A multi-storey building is just a building that has multiple storeys above the ground. A multi storied building is either residential or commercial. Migration of individuals from rural to urban centres where job opportunities are significant. The land available for building to accommodate this migration is becoming scarce which ends in rapid increase within the cost of land. And this leads to construction of multi-storeyed buildings as they supply an outsized floor area in an exceedingly relatively small area of land in urban cities. A comparison of highrise buildings by response spectrum analysis in different seismic zones of India. The main objective of this research paper is to compare regular and irregular buildings in seismic zone III & zone V by response spectrum analysis in STAAD. Pro. The soil type taken into consideration is medium soil type. The aim is to find base shear, storey drift and story displacement and eigen value and eigen vector by response spectrum analysis. Cost analysis has also been done. Analysis is done as per IS 456:2000 and IS 1893:2002. It focuses on dynamic analysis of buildings. Without increasing the area, we can extend only the building’s floor to design a multi-storied building as this will save overall building cost. Key Words: Seismic Analysis, Response Spectrum Analysis, Base Shear, Storey Drift, Story Displacement, STAAD.Pro

Abstract: To ensure the seismic effectiveness of highrise buildings different systems of lateral restraints are provided e.g., bracings, shear walls, core walls etc. In the present study, deflection of various joints, storeys & also the drifts have been gone through. For this purpose, 3 different models of multi-storeyed buildings were prepared consisting of a G+6 building with shear wall at the centre of edges on exterior walls, G+6 building with a core wall & G+8 building with a core wall were prepared using an integrated building designing software known as ETABS- 2016 (student version). A 3-bay building was modelled using M30 concrete mix and reinforcing steel bars of HYSD 415 for beams, columns, slabs as well as shear walls. After this pier labels were assigned to the shear walls. A variety of load cases like joint loads, dead loads, live loads, wind load in x-direction for terrain category 4, earthquake loads in x & y directions for zone II along with their combinations were assigned. The respective diaphragms were assigned to the three models & analysis was carried out at the end. The table of results was obtained and the deflection analysis was carried out to compare the relative effectiveness of shear walls & core walls at different locations of the multi-storeyed building. The codes taken into consideration during the progress of work were IS 456:2000 for plain and reinforced concrete, IS 875:2015 (Part 1) for wind loads & IS 1893:2002 for earthquake loads. Keywords: Earthquakes, Shear wall, Core wall, Lateral deflection.

Due to the high density of occupancy of multi-storey structures, structural safety becomes of utmost importance. Shear walls are structural walls which assist the framed structure in resisting lateral forces due to wind and earthquake. Providing the shear walls in multi-storeyed buildings decrease the necessity of providing heavier frames thereby increasing the floor area available in the structure. Generally, openings are provided in shear walls for architectural and functional requirements of the building structure. It is well known that providing openings in shear walls significantly decrease its stiffness and tension/Compression coupling mechanism. Codes of various origins restrict the percentage of openings in shear walls, however, remain silent about the shape of opening. The Finite element analysis has become an essential method of analysis for incorporating the physical entities mathematically. This paper aims to numerically investigate the effect of opening shape and opening size on lateral deformations of a multi-storeyed framed structure. To this end various shapes of openings i.e. triangular, square, and circular are incorporated in the shear wall and for each opening shape 20% and 25% openings have been considered. A ten-storey building containing the shear walls of various configurations has been analysed using the SAP2000 under the seismic load condition and the maximum lateral deformation produced at top storey of buildings are compared.

However though the structures are supported on soil, most of the designers do not consider the soil structure interaction and its subsequent effect on structure during an earthquake. Different soil properties can affect seismic waves as they pass through a soil layer. When a structure is subjected to an earthquake excitation, it interacts the foundation and soil, and thus changes the motion of the ground. It means that the movement of the whole ground structure system is influenced by type of soil as well as by the type of structure. Tall buildings are supposed to be of engineered construction in sense that they might have been analyzed and designed to meet the provision of relevant codes of practice and building bye-laws. IS 1893: 2002 “Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures” gives response spectrum for different types of soil such as hard, medium and soft. An attempt has been made in this paper to study the effect of Soil-structure interaction on multi storeyed buildings with various foundation systems. Also to study the response of buildings subjected to seismic forces with Rigid and Flexible foundations. Multi storeyed buildings with fixed and flexible support subjected to seismic forces were analyzed under different soil conditions like hard, medium and soft. The buildings were analyzed by Response spectrum method using software SAP2000. The response of building frames such as Lateral deflection, Story drift, Base shear, Axial force and Column moment values for all building frames were presented in this paper.

The issue of progressive collapse has been trending since it's connected with uncertainties that can make it difficult to accurately assess a structure's safety. The purpose of the current is to perform bibliometric analysis along with literature review of progressive collapse and execute progressive collapse analysis of a seven-storey RC building in SAP2000 and study the influence of different parameters of the building. In this study nonlinear dynamic analysis coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) is employed to investigate progressive collapse of a seven-storey RC building. For nonlinear dynamic approach of progressive collapse, structural analysis software SAP2000 is used. In response surface, Box–Behnken design is employed to analyse the progressive collapse of the structure with three positions of column elimination i.e. corner, middle and penultimate position. The current study considered three independent input variables namely grade of concrete, length and depth of beam with three levels and deflection of beam is taken as a response. Based on the ANOVA results, all three input parameters have substantial impact on the response in each of the three positions of column elimination. In each case RSM fits quadratic model for deflection of beam with confidence interval of 95%. The response calculated using the generated model is found to be quite close to the actual readings. The main effects plots are not horizontal line which describes the significance of individual factors with different levels on the response. Results shows that with the increase in the values of grade of concrete and depth of beam, the vertical v deflection of the upper node of column removal point decreases whereas increase in beam length increases the deflection. The interaction effect of different factors, grade of concrete versus beams length and beam depth versus beam length, is significant in corner column elimination. But in middle column elimination case, the interaction effect of beam length versus depth is close to significant while no interaction effects are found significant in penultimate column removal case. The values of grade of concrete and beam depth should be in the higher range and beam length should be in the lower range to get the optimal response. It also covers limitations and future research of the current study.

Many buildings in the present scenario have irregular configurations both in elevation and plan. This in future may subject to devastating earthquakes. It is necessary to identify the performance of the structures to withstand against disaster for both new and existing buildings. Now a days openings in the floors is common for many reasons like stair cases, lighting architectural etc., these openings in diaphragms cause stresses at discontinues joints with building elements. Discontinuous diaphragms are designed without stress calculations and are thought-about to be adequate ignoring any gap effects. In this thesis an attempt is made to try to know the difference between a building with diaphragm discontinuity and a building without diaphragm discontinuity.

Earthquakes are natural calamity which causes severe damage or collapse of buildings. Now a day’s many structures have irregular configurations both in plan and elevation. Damage due to earthquake are more severe at the point of discontinuity in the structure. Openings in the floors are common for many reasons like staircases, lighting, architectural and etc. these openings develop stresses at discontinuities. Discontinuous diaphragms are designed without stress calculations and are thought-about to be adequate ignoring any gap effects. In multi-storeyed framed building, damages from earthquake generally initiates at locations of structural weaknesses present in the lateral load resisting frames Diaphragms with abrupt discontinuities or variations in stiffness, which includes those having cut-out or open areas greater than 50 percent of the gross enclosed diaphragm area, or changes in effective diaphragm stiffness of more than 50 percent from one storey to the next. In structural engineering, a diaphragm is a structural system used to transfer lateral loads to shear walls or frames primarily through in-plane shear stress. Lateral loads are usually wind and earthquake loads. This paper focuses the general effects of diaphragm discontinuity on seismic response of multi-storeyed building on various structural parameters.

With the advancement in knowledge of inelastic response of structures, the design and construction practices of reinforced concrete buildings have been changing worldwide. Most of the codes are incorporating the near-fault factors and performance based designs in the seismic codes. However, further investigation is needed to identify the physical behaviour of multi-storey buildings to near-fault ground motions. At present, quantitative evaluation of response and its mitigation to near field ground motions is a popular topic in earthquake engineering field. The present study discusses the inelastic response of symmetric and asymmetric multi-storey buildings to near-fault ground motions. The possibility of design approach is based on ‘expendable top storey’ for the multi-storey RC- buildings to near field records. If such behaviour is feasible one can conceive of a structure whose top storey is permitted and designed to undergo large inelastic deformations while reducing damage in the lower storey. The concept was first proposed in an earlier research (RaghuPrasad, 1977). Such a concept juxtaposes the often-mentioned ‘soft first storey’ concept. Further in this report, the performance evaluation of multi-storey buildings near Chiplun fault in Mumbai, India is also discussed. The thesis is organized in the following chapters: Introduction in Chapter-1 contains detailed literature review on inelastic response of symmetric and asymmetric buildings, response of buildings to near-fault records, elastic and inelastic vibration absorber concepts and performance based designs. The literature reveals that considerable amount of research has been carried out on the elastic, inelastic response of structures and vibration absorber concepts to ordinary ground motions. Recently, the effect of near field ground motions on the response of multi-storey buildings is gaining much importance. Most of the research publications are available on response of symmetric buildings subjected to near field ground motions. But many problems are yet to be investigated. They are, identification of important ground motion parameters in near fault records, vibration absorber concepts and torsional response of structures subjected to pulse type ground motions. These problems are clearly mentioned in the recently published state-of-the-art review by Shuang and Li-Li (2007). In this report an attempt has been made to solve these problems. Effect of near-fault ground motions on symmetric multi-storey buildings in Chapter-2, describes simplified non-dimensionalized equations of motion to study the response behaviour of multi-storey buildings to near fault records. The non-dimensionalized equations of motion are expressed in terms of near fault ground motion parameters. The objective is to find a relation between ductility demand and near field ground motion parameters through neural network approach. For this a neural network modeling was done to predict the ductility demand in terms of peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, epicentral distance and pulse period of the near field ground motion. A thorough sensitive analysis is carried out, to ascertain which parameters are having maximum influence on ductility demand. In this chapter further, a comparative study is made on the inelastic seismic response of multi-storey buildings to pulse type and non pulse type ground motions. The study shows that, it is necessary to consider the effect of near fault ground motions separately and make provisions for the design in the codes of practice accordingly. Vibration absorber effect in multi-storey buildings in chapter-3, discusses the behaviour of top storey as a vibration absorber during near field ground motions. For this purpose, a five storey symmetric building model is considered as an example problem to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed concept. Response of the structure is obtained for the various combinations of absorber storey parameters such as mass ratio, frequency ratio and yield displacement ratio. Here mass ratio means mass of the absorber storey to that of the bottom storey and similarly for the frequency and yield displacement ratios. Observing the storey-wise variation of these responses, we can say that for a range of mass ratios, frequency ratios and yield displacement ratios, the inelastic response of top storey is large compared to the lower storeys. This range is termed as ‘effective range’. Further, in this range the top storey absorbs the vibration energy of the structure by keeping the lower storeys in elastic state i.e. acts as a vibration absorber. The top storey can also be termed as ‘expendable top storey’. Effect of near-fault ground motions on asymmetric multi-storey buildings in Chapter-4, discusses the inelastic response of asymmetric buildings to single horizontal component and two horizontal components of near fault ground motions viz., fault normal and fault parallel components. For numerical investigations eight building models are considered. Eccentricity has been created by keeping the stiffness and mass centre separately. The building models are subjected to strong motion records of Imperial Valley Array-5 (1979) and Northridge-Sylmar (1994). A detailed study on the effect of base shear strength, eccentricity and pulse period of near fault ground motions on the response is investigated. Performance of multi-Storey buildings in Chapter-5, reported a detailed procedure for the performance evaluation of structures. The procedure is applied to find the performance evaluation of multi-storeyed buildings located in near fault region. Chiplun fault in Mumbai, India has been chosen for the study because several features of that fault are clearly published (RaghuKanth and Iyengar, 2006). Results of performance evaluation of five and ten storeyed symmetric buildings with and without infill panels are studied. Ground motion records consistent with the hazard spectrum for the design are considered. The performance of the building near the Chiplun fault in Mumbai, India shows operational under UHS-500 (uniform hazard spectrum) event and it collapses when the building is exposed to UHS-2500 record. The thesis is concluded in Chapter-6 with an overall summary of the report and suggestions for further scope of the work.

The principle objective of this project is to analyse and design a multi-storeyed building [G + 21 (3 dimensional frame)] using STAAD Pro. The design involves load calculations manually and analyzing the whole structure by STAAD Pro. The design methods used in STAAD-Pro analysis are Limit State Design conforming to Indian Standard Code of Practice. STAAD.Pro features a state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines with advanced finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities. From model generation, analysis and design to visualization and result verification, STAAD.Pro is the professional’s choice. Initially we started with the analysis of simple 2 dimensional frames and manually checked the accuracy of the software with our results. The results proved to be very accurate. We analysed and designed a G + 7 storey building [2-D Frame] initially for all possible load combinations [dead, live, wind and seismic loads]. STAAD.Pro has a very interactive user interface which allows the users to draw the frame and input the load values and dimensions. Then according to the specified criteria assigned it analyses the structure and designs the members with reinforcement details for RCC frames. We continued with our work with some more multi-storeyed 2-D and 3-D frames under various load combinations. Our final work was the proper analysis and design of a G + 21 3-D RCC frame under various load combinations. We considered a 3-D RCC frame with the dimensions of 4 bays @5m in x-axis and 3 bays @5m in z-axis. The y-axis consisted of G + 21 floors. The total numbers of beams in each floor were 28 and the numbers of columns were 16. The ground floor height was 4m and rest of the 21 floors had a height of 3.3m.The structure was subjected to self weight, dead load, live load, wind load and seismic loads under the load case details of STAAD.Pro. The wind load values were generated by STAAD.Pro considering the given wind intensities at different heights and strictly abiding by the specifications of IS 875. Seismic load calculations were done following IS 1893-2000. The materials were specified and cross-sections of the beam and column members were assigned. The supports at the base of the structure were also specified as fixed. The codes of practise to be followed were also specified for design purpose with other important details. Then STAAD.Pro was used to analyse the structure and design the members. In the post-processing mode, after completion of the design, we can work on the structure and study the bending moment and shear force values with the vgenerated diagrams. We may also check the deflection of various members under the given loading combinations. The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirements as prescribed in the Indian Standard Codes. 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 in this code, it is hoped, will ensure the structural safety of the buildings which are being designed. Structure and structural elements were normally designed by Limit State Method. Complicated and high-rise structures need very time taking and cumbersome calculations using conventional manual methods. STAAD.Pro provides us a fast, efficient, easy to use and accurate platform for analysing and designing structures.

Energy expenditure is one of the significant overheads in the lifespan of multistoreyed buildings. Reliable and proficient functions of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are further imperative as a result of the climbing price of electricity. This research recommends that the compounded energy utilisation to meet the demand from high humidity and temperature could be minimised by adopting the alternative high-performance building envelope and low emission cooling method along with the optimised control of additional operational parameters. The core purpose of this research is to computationally evaluate the performance of various alternative building envelopes and low energy cooling methods to determine the best performing envelop and cooling method to enhance the energy efficacy and human comfort in buildings in a subtropical climate in Australia. Firstly, a detailed energy assessment of the current building systems is undertaken on a selected case study building in Rockhampton, Central Queensland. Then, a comprehensive energy simulation model is developed, employing a building energy simulation algorithm. The modelled energy and comfort data of the building systems are validated by means of on-site recorded data. The substantiated model is then expanded to evaluate the efficacy of several alternative building envelopes such as bio-phase change material (BioPCM), cavity wall, Trombe wall, building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) and low emission cooling methods such as, cooled Beam, ground source heat pump, variable air volume, variable refrigerant flow system to secure better comfort and energy savings in both summer and winter months. Furthermore, an extensive multicriteria based optimisation is undertaken to determine combined alternative envelope and cooling method for retrofitting of the existing systems that will meet the requisite of the present and the future depending on the potential climate change scenario. This study found that both cooled beam and ground source heat pump as low energy high-performance cooling alternatives, and BioPCM as high-performance building envelope have the higher potential for energy conservation and better thermal comfort based on the present and future weather conditions. Through multi-criteria optimisation, the study found that BioPCM and Cooled Beam as an integrated mechanism can be successfully incorporated into buildings in subtropical climate to improve the energy efficiency by 30% and human comfort which have not been evaluated in any other studies in the past. Furthermore, the use of the combined optimised approach, i.e. integration of BioPCM and Cooled Beam, produces significantly less emission (21%) per year at the same time ensures the comfortability of the occupants which is the utmost consideration in the study. Finally, the study offered a net positive energy operating method to ensure that carbon footprint is minimised considering the present and future weather conditions. Overall, a practical thermal simulation orientated optimisation framework is developed and executed that unites the objective of minimising energy consumption of building systems as well as maintaining superior comfort of the people based on the present and future weather conditions.

<p>The current Indian code for seismic design of structures is based on the force-based design (FBD) philosophy but the damage is more related to strain and displacement rather than strength. Also, structures can’t be designed for target design objectives by FBD method under a specified hazard level. Hence it became necessary to develop new codes and standards based on more robust design methodology to overcome the various shortcomings. The paper presents the results of a study conducted to evaluate the effect of provisions mandated by BIS design guidelines on the performance of a multi-storeyed building in event of a seismic activity. The performance of the building was evaluated on the parameters given in the FEMA guidelines. It was observed that the RC buildings designed as per Indian standard is found to be under-utilized and its overstrength ratio is observed to be of order two, leading to uneconomical design as compared to the building designed according to Performance based methodology for achieving a similar value of the performance level.</p>
