Project 1_Comparative study of different storey buildings for Seismic forces
AIM: Aim to the question is to comparing analysis result of various structural configurations with respect to Seismic force.
INTRODUCTION: Comparative study of different storey buildings for Seismic forces INTRODUCTION : There are 10 project of different story building (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K). Material Properties assigned as : Grade of Concrete : M30 Grade of Steel Reinforcement Bars : Fe 415 Loading Dead
OBJECTIVE:
- Know how to extract different seismic responses for a structure .
- How to easily after certain period in an ETABS model.
- Know the factors influencing the dynamic characteristic of buildings.
- Know the factors influencing time period of building.
- Know the factors influencing modal shape of building.
THEORY:
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE NATURAL PERIOD OF A BUILDING
- Effect of stiffness on T: compare fundamental natural periods of building E&F as well as G& H . Why is there a marginal or significant difference ain the fundamental natural periods?
- Effect of mass on T: Compare fundamental natural periods of building H and K. Have the buildings become more flexible or stiff due to hange in mass?.
- Effect of building Height on T: How does the fundamental natural periods of Building A,B,F, and H change with change in building in building height?
Effects of column Orientation on T : How does the fundamental natural periods of Buildings B, C ,D change with change in column Orientation
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE MODE SHAPE OF OSCILLATIONS
- eF
PROCEDURE: To answer this question we have to follow the following steps:
There are 10 projects of different story buildings (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K).
-
Material Properties assigned as :
- Grade of Concrete: M30
- Grade of Steel Reinforcement Bars: Fe 415
-
Loading
- Dead Load on beams from infill wall - 10 kN/m
- Live load on floor : 3 KN/m2 for building A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H
