A Comparative Study on Seismic Analysis of Indian Codes with Other Countries Code

Earthquakes are unpredictable and devastating. And the most unfortunate thing about earthquakes is that, they are not regular phenomena like the change of seasons in India. And perhaps that is why, we are mostly not prepared for them in advance. Earthquakes are low-probability events, but with high levels of risk to the society, it isimportant that the design of structures must be done in the best possible way to take into account these effects and thereby aiming for an adequate structural response. Parameters of different countriesseismic codes differ significantly due to which performance of the building also varies. Hence, it is necessary to do a comparative study so as to conclude which building will perform better. In this paper, we present the analysis and design of a G+12 building for seismic forces using four different countries seismic codes:-IS:1893-2002-Criteria for earthquake resistant design of structures Part 1, IS: 1893-2016-Criteria for earthquake resistant design of structures, Euro code 8 -Design of structures for Earthquake resistance and ASCE7-10-Minimum Design loads for buildings and other structures. Building was analysed using Etabs 2016 then designed as per the specified codes
