Investigation of Seismic Pounding Effect on Symmetric 10 Storey Reinforced Concrete Buildings Using SAP2000By Somnath Sitaram Kadam, R. S. Londhe
Abstract: ABSTRACT Earthquakes have historically been responsible for significant structural failures, often resulting in substantial economic losses and endangering human lives. One notable failure mechanism observed during seismic activity is seismic pounding, which occurs when adjacent buildings collide due to insufficient separation gaps. This phenomenon is particularly concerning in densely populated urban areas where space constraints often prevent the provision of adequate clearances between structures. Such impacts can lead to severe …

ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF RC HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS WITH STAGGERED OPENINGS IN SHEAR WALLSBy Rushikesh P. Deshmukh, R. S. Londhe
Abstract: ABSTRACT - This research investigates the seismic performance of a 15-storey reinforced concrete building with varying shear wall configurations, focusing on the effects of vertical and staggered openings. The study compares three models: one with solid shear walls, one with vertical openings, and one with staggered openings. Using ETABS V21 software and performing the analysis in Seismic Zone IV under the Response Spectrum Method (IS 1893:2016), the results show that …

ANALYTICAL STUDY OF SEISMIC RESPONSE OF DOUBLE TOWER BUILDING ON A COMMON PODIUMBy Shivam Arunsa Satpute, R. S. Londhe
Abstract: Abstract The recent surge in global population, particularly in urban areas, has led to a significant rise in the demand for tall buildings structures featuring multiple towers on a shared podium. Such complex configurations often result in intricate interactions between towers and podium structures, particularly under lateral loads induced by earthquakes. One of the critical structural behaviours observed in such systems is the backstay effect, which arises due to discontinuities …
