Seismic Design of Multistory Building with Different Soil Conditions: A Review

Abstract

A building can be considered symmetrical in plan, mass, and stiffness along the building floor. The current version of IS: 1893-2002 requires almost all skyscrapers to be analyzed as 3D systems. Most of the mountainous regions of India are very prone to earthquakes. Mass and stiffness are two fundamental parameters for evaluating the dynamic response of structural systems. High-rise buildings behave differently depending on many factors such as stiffness mass distribution, type of foundation, and soil conditions. During the 2001 Bhuj earthquake in Gujrat, India, buildings were damaged and collapsed due to the hardness and uneven mass of the ground. This article analyzes the impact of different soil properties on the seismic response of structures. This project aims to carry out response spectrum analyzes (RSA) of jointly reinforced structures in different soil types. Comparison of analysis results with and without the effects of normal tectonic earthquakes.
