Comparative Study of Seismic Analysis of Vertically Irregular R.C. Frame using INDIAN and EURO Code

Abstract

This research article carried out on comparison of codes (Indian and Euro) for seismic behaviour of R.C building frame. The main cause for the earthquake occurred in the R.C. building, if there is any irregularity in the structure and, if the structure is not constructed with proper strength, and not appropriately designed, which causes the structures to completely collapse. It is critical to understand seismic analysis and construct earthquake resistance structures for the safety of a multi-story building against seismic forces. It has been observed that the Gulf countries’ construction requirements are primarily based on EURO standards. So that we analyse an R.C building frame of G+22 with vertical geometry irregularity using comparison with EURO standards and INDIAN standards. The response of the building is being calculated by the Response Spectrum approach with the help of ETABS software. The calculated results of an irregular building are then characterized graphically and in tabular form. This research paper concentrated on the variations in outcomes found by using these codes i.e., Indian & Euro code. This comparative result is performed in the form of Storey Drifts, Overturning moment, Storey shear, and Storey Displacement in the X, and Y direction.
