Abstract
Abstract: Aim is to study the change in reinforcing steel (percentage change) once we change the Importance Factor during the seismic analysis of a building. Importance factor classifies various structures on the basis of value 1 or 1.5 or even more depending on the structure importance. This value is provided in the seismic analysis of a building using STAAD PRO V8i version. The current code gives the Importance Factor value as “1” in case of “general buildings” and “1.5” in case of public or we can say important buildings. It also makes important buildings as heavier sections by increasing design base shear. There is no proof that how this importance factor works or improves the seismic factors of a building. In this study, the aim is to make a simple Bay frame using STAAD PRO for the purpose of analysis under seismic conditions and varying this respective importance factor and noticing the percentage change in steel reinforcement and the type of bars that are being used.
