STUDY OF EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF MULTI-STOREY BUILDING

Abstract

This project report presents a study on earthquake-resistant analysis and design of a Multistorey building, located in a high-risk seismic zone in Nepal. The report covers a comprehensive analysis of the building's seismic behavior using two widely used analysis methods - Equivalent Static Method and Modal Response Spectrum Model. The analysis includes a detailed seismic hazard assessment, dynamic analysis, and design of the building's structural components, such as columns, beams, and slabs. The design of the building is based on the NBC codes, including NBC-205:2017 and NBC-206:2017, and IS codes, including IS 1893:2016, IS 13920:2016, and IS 456:2000. The report includes a detailed study of earthquake-resistant design techniques, such as ductility, energy dissipation, and their effectiveness in reducing the seismic vulnerability of the building. The study concludes that the use of ductile detailing and energy dissipation systems in the building's design improves its seismic performance and reduces the risk of collapse during an earthquake. The project aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of earthquake-resistant design principles and their application in the design of Multi-storey buildings. The report can serve as a valuable resource for civil engineering students and professionals, providing them with practical knowledge of earthquake-resistant design principles. The findings of this study can contribute to improving the seismic performance of buildings in high-risk seismic zones, reducing the risk of loss of life and property during an earthquake.
