Abstract
A Review Paper on Sloping Ground Building Structures under Seismic and Wind Load Conditions
Highlights
Earthquakes occur when energy stored in elastically strained rocks is suddenly released
In traditional methods adopted based on fundamental mode of the structure and distribution of earthquake forces as static forces at various stories may be adequate for structures of small height subjected to earthquake of very low Intensity but as the number of stories increases the seismic design demands more rigorous
This paper introduces a few perceptions about seismic conduct of slope structures amid the Sikkim quake of September 18, 2011
Summary
Earthquakes occur when energy stored in elastically strained rocks is suddenly released. This arrival of vitality causes extreme ground shaking in the region close to the wellspring of the quake and sends wave of flexible vitality called seismic waves all through the earth. The flexible bounce back hypothesis proposes that if slippage along blame is stuck to such an extent that versatile strain vitality develops in the twisting rocks on either side of the blame when the slippage occurs the vitality discharged causes a seismic tremor. In traditional methods adopted based on fundamental mode of the structure and distribution of earthquake forces as static forces at various stories may be adequate for structures of small height subjected to earthquake of very low Intensity but as the number of stories increases the seismic design demands more rigorous
