EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON ANALYSIS OF RCC STRUCTURE WITH OR WITH OUT INFILL DIFFERENT SEISMIC ZONES

Abstract

The infills are mostly used as interior partition walls and external walls which are protecting from outside environment to the building. The masonry infill panels are generally not considered in the design process and treated as architectural (nonstructural) components. Reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infill walls have been widely constructed for commercial, industrial and multi-story residential uses in seismic regions. This thesis focuses on the intrinsic vulnerability of
multistory structures with open (soft storey) ground floors to collapse owing to seismic stresses, yet their constructions are nevertheless common in industrialized countries today. The social and practical demand for underground parking significantly overcomes the warnings of the technical community against such structures. In this study, 3D analytical model of G+10
multistory building has been generated for different buildings models and analyzed using structural analysis tool ‘E-TABS’. In the analytical building model, all of the significant components are included that affect the mass, strength, and stiffness of the structure. As part of the research, seismic analysis using linear dynamic (response spectrum technique) and nonlinear static
(pushover) procedures will be used to assess the capacity, demand, and performance level of the model under consideration. The ductility coefficients of structures are assessed using numerical findings for the following seismic demands, which take the inelastic behavior of the building into consideration.
