SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF MULTISTORIED BUILDING ON SLOPING GROUND WITH GROUND, MIDDLE & TOP SOFT STOREY

Abstract

The present study deals with evaluation of R.C building. R.C building are generally designed as framed structures without regard to structural action of masonary walls . The open story known as soft story perform poorly during earthquakes further Due to the diverse configurations of buildings in hilly areas, these buildings become highly irregular and asymmetric, due to variation in mass and stiffness distributions on different vertical axis at each floor. Further, due to site conditions, buildings on hill slope are characterized by unequal column heights within a story, which results in drastic variation in stiffness of columns of the same storey.
