EISMIC ANALYSIS OF MULTI-STOREY RCC BUILDING AND STEEL BUILDING USING ETABS

Abstract

The present Study is aims to evaluate the seismic response of the multistory building made up of different
material, i.e. Concrete and Steel so that one can choose best alternative which has good seismic performance as well as
economy. To show importance of effect of infill masonry wall modeling is done with and without considering stiffness of
infill wall. Equivalent Static Method of Analysis is used. For modeling of Steel and R.C.C. structures, ETABS software is
used and the results are compared; and it is found that RCC building has more seismic weight, brick infill walls present
in the building reduces the structural drift but increases the strength, which ensures good seismic behavior and gives
economical structural design. Stiff structures attracts the more seismic force but have performed better during past
earthquake Usually infill is provided in structures and thus RCC building will be more stiffer than Steel building and
therefore RCC structure is one of the best options for construction of multistory building as well as for earthquake
resistant structure.
