PERFORMANCE OF AN RCC FRAME BUILDING SUBJECTED TO HYDRODYNAMIC FORCE AT EACH FLOOR LEVEL - A CASE STUDY

Shreya H. Chokshi, S.P.Dalal

Abstract: Buildings are essential in all populated cities. To increase value in certain buildings there are associated risks that we take like providing swimming pool at each floor level. Water carrying structures are more important that must remain functional following disasters such as earthquake. Most of the failures of structures after earthquakes are suspected to have resulted from the dynamic buckling caused by overturning moments of seismically induced liquid inertia and surface slosh waves. This paper investigates the hydrostatic and the hydrodynamic behavior of water in the swimming pool when subjected to earthquake forces. The main object of this paper is 1). To compare the static and dynamic analysis of the building. 2) The study of hydrodynamic effects.

Keywords: hydrostatic force, hydrodynamic, time history analysis,response spectrum method, displacement
