Abstract

Abstract – Present study focus on the behavior of RC frames by performing Equivalent Static and Linear Dynamic Analysis. A reinforced concrete frame having G+10 storey was considered. The investigation on the behavior of RC frame is carried out by using dynamic analysis i.e., Response Spectrum method. The modeling of RC frame is carried out by using finite element-based computer program i.e., STAAD.Pro. The investigation is carryout by considering Strength Irregularity with Soil Structure Interaction is considered. In strength irregularity the parameters such Normal Model, Model with soft storey, Model with floating column and Model with variation in storey height is considered. By considering all these parameter total 4 models for Static and Dynamic Conditions are created, all models were analyzed for the Seismic zone III. The Response of each RC frame with respect to others will be checked for Axial force, Shear Force, twisting moment, Bending Moment, Lateral displacement, and Base Shear. The behaviour of each RC frame with respect to others is describes with the help of figures.

Key Words: Horizontal & Vertical Irregularity, Re-entrant corners, Diaphragm flexibility, Fragility assessment, Hillside buildings, Progressive collapse.
