Abstract
The IS: 1893-2016 standard as it stands now mandates that almost all multi-story structures be examined as three-dimensional systems. Buildings may be classified as Regular or Irregular based on their bulk and stiffness across their storeys. India's hilly terrain is largely seismically active. In this work, a structural analysis tool called ETABS software was used to create a 3D analytical model of G+15-story structures for both regular and irregular building types. The static analysis of a structural system is evaluated using two fundamental parameters: mass and stiffness. Various factors, including soil conditions, foundation types, and the distribution of mass stiffness, affect how multi-story structures behave. The damage and collapse of the structures brought on by abnormalities in structural stiffness and floor mass were evident in the 2001 Bhuj earthquake in Gujarat, India. The impact of different vertical imperfections on a structure's seismic response are the focus of this project. The project's goal is to use the Dynamic Analysis Method to design both regular and irregular RC building frames. The outcomes of the examination of irregular and regular structures are compared.
