SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF UNSYMMETRICAL BUILDING WITH DIFFERENT BRACING SYSTEMS

Priyanka.T, Shilpa.V.B

Abstract: Earthquake leads to ground shaking and collapse of structure in all direction due to base movement of the building with the ground. In the present days, unsymmerical building plans are repeatedly constructed for aesthetic purpose. These building includes discontinuity in mass, geometry and stiffness of structure, which leads to destruction during earthquake. In the current work an endeavour has been made to study the dynamic behaviour of regular building in comparison with irregular buildings with different bracing system using IS 1983-2002 (Part 1) code recommended response spectrum method. Analysis of building has been carried out using ETABS software.

Keywords: Bracing System, Equivalent Static Method, Response Spectrum Method, Unsymmetrical Building.
