Abstract

A tall building construction involves huge amount of money. The design of the building depends upon various parameters that include building usage, loading, site conditions, soil conditions, climatic conditions & site topography etc.Analyzing each factor is necessary to have an optimum design as fluctuations from the actual conditions may impact the safety of structure and at the same time it can be cost intense. As the tall buildings are more prone to sway than the low-rise buildings thus the impact of wind and seismic forces acting on them becomes critical to analyze. In this research paper a building is modelled for earthquake resistant design and wind resistant design using conventional bricks and AAC Blocks and the base shear reactions are compared for both the cases. After that the loading is considered and analyzed whether various members such as beam, slab and shear walls are governing to wind load or the earthquake load on different storeys and based on this the steel reinforcement coefficient of corner & side beam and shear wall is prepared for each seismic and wind resistant zone. This will help us to see the variation in each zone and to design the building
accordingly. This micro level designing will improve the structural system of the building and its dynamic response. The findings of this research will help us to understand the governing load in building and to take sufficient action in designing. Further this technical information about the structural response of the building would be very useful for designers.
