Seismic Analysis of High-Rise Buildings (G+30) by Using ETABS

Abstract

ETABS stand for Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building Systems. ETABS integrates every aspect of the engineering design process. In the present situations of construction industry, the buildings that are being constructed are gaining significance, in general, those with the best possible outcomes which are referred to members like beams and columns in multi storeys R.C structures. This software mainly used for structures like highrise buildings, steel and concrete structures. The paper aims to analyze a high-rise building of 30 floors (G+30) by considering seismic, dead and live loads. The design criteria for high-rise buildings are strength, serviceability and stability. The version of the software used is ETABS 2016.In the present study, we are mainly determining the effects of lateral loads on moments, shear force, axial force, base shear, maximum displacement and tensile forces on structural system are subjected and also comparing the results of seismic zones 2, 3, 4 and 5.
