Comparison Between Structural Analysis of Residential Building (Flat Scheme) Subjected to Gravity With Respect to Seismic Forces (In zone II and zone III) For Different Storey Heights

The recent development in methods to analyze the RC frame structure brings us to this study. This paper is\ud approach to introduce the comparison between structural analysis of Residential building (Flat Scheme)\ud subjected to gravity with respect to seismic forces ( in zone II and zone III) for different storey heights.\ud For structural engineers, seismic load should be considered as important aspect that needs to be included in\ud the building design. However majority of buildings constructed in India are designed for gravity loading only\ud and poorly detailed to accommodate lateral loads. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the comparison\ud between structural analysis of residential building subjected to gravity with respect to seismic forces in zone II\ud and zone III for different storey heights.\ud The analysis for residential building (G+3) is carried out by using software SAP by seismic coefficient\ud method. Columns, beams and footing has been drawn. Microsoft office Excel 2007 programs were used for\ud drafting , and analysis of columns, beams and footing.\ud This analysis gives better understanding the seismic performance of buildings. The results show that the\ud building which is designed only for gravity load is found inadequate to resist seismic load in zone II and zone III
