DESIGN OF 3D RC FRAME ON SLOPING GROUND

Shivanand.B, H.S.Vidyadhara

Abstract: The buildings resting on hill areas have to be configured differently from flat ground. Hill buildings are different from those in plains; they are very irregular and unsymmetrical in horizontal and vertical planes, and torsionally coupled & hence susceptible to sever damage when affected by earthquake. The floors of such buildings have step back towards the hill slope and at the same time setback also. In this study 3D analytical model of 12 storied building have been generated for symmetric and asymmetric case. Building models are analyzed and designed by ETABS software to study the effect of influence of bracings, shear wall at different positions. Seismic analysis done by linear static (ESA), linear dynamic (RSA) and non-linear static Analysis (Pushover Analysis)

Keywords: Earthquake, Sloping Ground, ETABS, Pushover analysis.
