Seismic Behavior of Structure with Cantilever Projections in Different Zones

Abstract

Abstract: In this research paper, the main focus is on understanding how structures with constant cantilever projections of 1m perform when subjected to seismic forces. To carry out the analysis, the researchers utilize ETABS software, which is commonly used in the field of structural engineering. The study investigates two types of buildings: a 5-storey building and a 10-storey building. By using the static method, the researchers evaluate various aspects of the structure’s seismic behavior. This includes examining the story displacement, which refers to how much each floor moves during an earthquake. They also examine the overturning moment, which helps to assess the potential for the structure to rotate or tip over due to seismic forces. Additionally, the researchers analyze the base shear, which represents the total force experienced by the building's foundation due to seismic activity. By conducting these analyses, the researchers aim to gain insights into how the structures with 1m cantilever projections perform in different zones under seismic conditions. This information can be valuable for designing safer and more resilient buildings in earthquake-prone areas.
