Pushover Analysis For Seismic Assessment Of High Rise Building Using Etabs

Abstract

Earthquake load is becoming a great concern in our country as because not a single zone can be designated as earthquake resistant zone. One of the most important aspects is to construct a building structure, which can resist the seismic force efficiently. Study is made on the different structural arrangement to find out the most optimized solution to produce an efficient safe earthquake resistant building.

 In the present analysis, a commercial building is analyzed with columns, columns with infill’s under non linear static analysis. The building is analyzed and the results of Displacement, Base shear vs displacement, soft storey results were also compared after providing the infill’s at each elevation.

 A commercial package of ETABS 2013 has been utilized for analyzing commercial building. The result has been compared using tables & graph to find out the most optimized solution. Concluding remark has been made on the basis of this analysis & comparison tables.
