Comparative study of different storey buildings for Seismic forces

Comparision 1

Aim: To compare the effect of stiffness on natural period of buildings E & F and G & H using ETABS

Building E:

1. Opening New model

2. Setting the Building E & F storey as 10 and number of bays in X direction as 4 and in Y direction as 3

3. Defining the section property of column as 400X400mm for upper 5 storeys,Bottom 5 storeys as 600X600mm

4. And also defining the other section properties of Beam and slab

5. Assigning the Live load as 3kN/m2 .

6..Run the analysis

7. In Display tab selecting the show table option

8. Checking in the modal participating ratio

Building F:

1. Opening New model

2. Setting the Building E & F storey as 10 and number of bays in X direction as 4 and in Y direction as 3

3. Defining the section property of column as 600X600mm

4. And also defining the other section properties of Beam and slab

5. Assigning the Live load as 3kN/m2 .

6..Run the analysis

7. In Display tab selecting the show table option

8. Checking in the modal participating ratio

Building G:

1. Opening New model

2. Setting the Building E & F storey as 10 and number of bays in X direction as 4 and in Y direction as 3

3. Defining the section property of column as 400X400mm for upper 5 storeys,Middle 10 storeys as 600X600mm and Bottom 10 storey as 800X800mm

4. And also defining the other section properties of Beam and slab

5. Assigning the Live load as 3kN/m2 .

6..Run the analysis

7. In Display tab selecting the show table option

8. Checking in the modal participating ratio

Building H:

1. Opening New model

2. Setting the Building E & F storey as 10 and number of bays in X direction as 4 and in Y direction as 3

3. Defining the section property of column as 600X600mm

4. And also defining the other section properties of Beam and slab

5. Assigning the Live load as 3kN/m2 .

6..Run the analysis

7. In Display tab selecting the show table option

8. Checking in the modal participating ratio

Conclusion:

Time period of E=0.77

Time period of F=1.113

Time period of G=1.764

Time period of H= 2.926

As the Height and the sectional dimensions of the column and building changes the Time period also varies

Comparision 2

Aim: To compare the effect of mass on natural period of buildings H,J and K using ETABS

Building H:

1. Opening New model

2. Setting the Building H storey as 25 and number of bays in X direction as 4 and in Y direction as 3

3. Defining the section property of column as 800X800mm

4. And also defining the other section properties of Beam and slab

5. Assigning the Live load as 3kN/m2 .

6..Run the analysis

7. In Display tab selecting the show table option

8. Checking in the modal participating ratio

Building J:

1. Opening New model

2. Setting the Building J storey as 25 and number of bays in X direction as 4 and in Y direction as 3

3. Defining the section property of column as 800X800mm

4. And also defining the other section properties of Beam and slab

5. Assigning the Live load as 3.3kN/m2 .

6..Run the analysis

7. In Display tab selecting the show table option

8. Checking in the modal participating ratio

Building K:

1. Opening New model

2. Setting the Building J storey as 25 and number of bays in X direction as 4 and in Y direction as 3

3. Defining the section property of column as 800X800mm

4. And also defining the other section properties of Beam and slab

5. Assigning the Live load as 3.6kN/m2 .

6..Run the analysis

7. In Display tab selecting the show table option

8. Checking in the modal participating ratio

Conclusion:

Time period of H=2.962

Time period of J=4.861

Time period of K=5.588

As the mass of the building is gradually increased that is the like load is incremented 10% and 20% the natural period also increases
