Literature Study on Seismic Analysis of Multi-Storey RC Frame with Different Types of Foundation

Abstract

In the process of building earthquake-resistant structures and/or retrofitting vulnerable existing structures, seismic analysis is a method for estimating structural reaction. The problem is tough in principle. Because the structural response to big earthquakes is dynamic, nonlinear, and random. In structural engineering, all three features are exceptional, as most problems are (or can be effectively approximated as) static, linear, and predictable. Many existing RCC buildings in seismic zones are inadequate to withstand earthquakes due to rapid urbanization and the development of a high number of multi-story buildings. And also since different foundation types are adopted based on different structural, soil requirement, it is important to analyze the response of structure with different foundation types.
