Project 1_Comparative study of different storey buildings for Seismic forces

1. Ans:

AIM :

  • To Drive the building in safe in earthquake the factors to consider for the process are ( Dynamic characteristic of a building, natural period of a building, Mode shape of Oscillations) These are the factors which influence the structure under seismic load.

Introduction :

  • Draw Several building in ETABS and derive the multiple dynamic characteristic of buiding , natural period of a building and mode shape of oscillations.

Procedure :

Criteria Model Analysis result Conclusion
Effect of stiffness on time period Building of 10 story with unifrom size column 1.44
Building of 10 story with varey in size of column 1.4
Effect of stiffness on time period Building of 25 story with unifrom size column 3.90
Building of 25 story with unifrom size column 3.54
Effect of mass on time Building 25 storey with 3 kn /sqm 3.90
Building 25 storey with 3 kn /sqm 3.915
Building 25 storey with 3 kn /sqm 3.926
Effect of building height on time period Building of 2 storey 0.355
Building of 5 storey 0.813
Building of 10 storey 1.44
Building of 25 storey 3.90
Effect of column orientation on time period Building 5 storey ( same column of size 400*400) 0.74
Building 5 storey ( same column of size 550*300) Along X direction 0.813
Building 5 storey ( same column of size 300*550) Along Y direction 0.782
Criteria Mode Case Analysis result Conclusion
Effect of flexural stiffness of structural element on mode shapes Building of 5 Storey Flexural stiffnesse of beam close to nill ( zero inertia ) 1.891
Full flexural stiffness of beam 0.74
Effect of axiel stiffness of vertical member on mode shapes Building of 25 storey

Axiel cross section for column is close to nill for 25 storey building.

5.931
Full axiel cross section for column 3.90
Effect of degree of fixity at column base on mode shapes Building of 25 storey Column support pinned 0.74
Column support fixed 0.669
  • From the above result where taken from the model which was done in the detail in ETABS and the details are given below.

Result :

  • From the above result the all building are determined the dynamic characteristics of a building , Natural period of a building and mode of oscillations are executed and result are given above.
