Abstract

Abstract: A tremor or a movement of the ground occurs during an earthquake on Earth's surface. Earthquakes can also cause landslides and volcanic eruptions. Natural disasters or human activity can produce earthquakes, which are defined as seismic events generating seismic waves. Earthquakes most commonly occur when geological faults rupture, however they can also occur as a result of volcanic eruptions, landslides, mine explosions, and nuclear testing. The study of structural behavior towards different ground motions is therefore one of the main criteria to determine damage intensity. Structural Analysis of a residential building is carried out by using ETabs Software. Present study is intended to study the dynamic behavior of Multistorey Reinforced Concrete structure by considering, an existing G+13 storey residential building is modeled and its structural behaviour is studied using Time history method by considering different high intensity earthquakes. The behaviour of the building is studied mainly for its base shear, Storey displacement and maximum joint displacement.
