Siesmic Effect on Rc Building Resting on Sloping Ground

Mohammad Abdul Imran Khan, Riyaz Ahmed, Y. Raghava Rani

Abstract :

The buildings which are located in hilly areas in earthquake prone regions are generally irregular, unsymmetrical

and torsionally coupled & hence, susceptible to serve destruction when affected by earthquake. Due to the varied configurations of buildings in sloping areas, these buildings become highly irregular and unsymmetrical, due to variation in mass and stiffness
distributions on different vertical axis at each floor. In the present study G+20 storey RCC building frame on varying slope angles i.e., 8° and
16° is studied and compared with the same on the flat ground and the importance of shear wall location in a RC building have been studied.
The structural analysis software ETABS V9.7.4 is used to study the effect of sloping ground on building performance during earthquake. Seismic Analysis is done by Equivalent static method and Response spectrum method. Shear force, bending moment, axial forces are critically
analyzed to study the effect on various sloping ground.
