EARTH QUAKE ANALYSIS OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING BY USING ETABS SOFTWARE

Abstract

In order to compete in the ever growing competent market it is very important for a structural engineer to save time. As a sequel to this an attempt is made to analyze and design a Multistoried building by using a software package SAP2000. For analyzing a multi storied building one has to consider all the possible loadings and see that the structure is safe against all possible loading conditions. There are several methods for analysis of different frames like kani‘s method, cantilever method, portal method, Matrix method. The present project deals with the seismic analysis of a multi storeyed residential building of G+7 is carried out. The dead load, live load, seismic load and wind loads are applied using SAP2000 with its new features surpassed its predecessors and compotators with its data sharing capabilities with other major software like AutoCAD, and MS Excel. We conclude that SAP2000 is a very powerful tool which can save much time and is very accurate in analysis. The results like displacement, shear force, bending moment, torsion, time period and frequency are studied using SAP2000 Software.
