Project 1_Comparative study of different storey buildings for Seismic forces

AIM:

We have multiple building with different parameter so, that we need to compare their result and overall seismic behaviour by using ETABS software like factor influencing the dynamic characteristics of building, time period of building and mode shape of building.

INTRODUCTION:

In the various modal is different structural and geometrical configuration so, we extract different seismic responses and comparison of analysis result for each of the criteria then identifying the reason for influences and reporting them. We analyse certain properties in etabs modal
