This document reviews seismic analysis of reinforced concrete frame structures using different bracing systems. It compares the performance of 4 building types (L, C, O, and rectangular shapes) with 4 different bracing types in each, keeping the constructed area the same. The response spectrum method is used to analyze the structures in ETABS software. Story shear, story displacement, and story stiffness are compared to evaluate the structural performance under earthquake loads. Concentric and eccentric bracing systems are described, with eccentric bracing frames noted as a newer system developed to resist seismic events in a predictable manner.

Abstract
From past earthquakes it is proved that many of structure are totally or partially damaged due to earthquake. So, it is necessary to determine seismic responses of such buildings. There are different techniques of seismic analysis of structure. Time history analysis is one of the important techniques for structural seismic analysis generally the evaluated structural response is non-linear in nature. For such type of analysis, a representative earthquake time history is required. In this project work seismic analysis of RCC buildings with mass irregularity at different floor level are carried out. Here for analysis different time histories have been used. This paper highlights the effect of mass irregularity on different floor in RCC buildings with time history and analysis is done by using ETABS software.

Seismic analysis of vertical irregular multistoried buildingeSAT Journals
Abstract It is understood that buildings which are regular in elevation (regular building) perform much better than those which have irregularity in elevation (irregular building) under seismic loading. Irregularities are not avoidable in construction of buildings. However a detailed study to understand structural behaviour of the buildings with irregularities under seismic loading is essential for appropriate design and their better performance. The main objective of this study is to understand the effect of elevation irregularity and behaviour of 3-D R.C. Building which is subjected to earthquake load. In the present study, a 5 bays X 5 bays, 16 storied structure with provision of lift core walls and each storey height 3.2 m, having irregularity in elevation, is considered as the soft storey 3-D structure. An Irregular building is assumed to be located in all zones. Linear dynamic analysis using Response Spectrum method of the irregular building is carried out using the standard and convenient FE software package. To quantify the effect of different degrees of irregularities all the structures are analysed. In addition, the analysis carried out also enables to understand the behaviour that takes place in irregular buildings in comparison to that in regular buildings. For this the behaviour parameters considered are 1) Maximum displacement 2) Base shear, 3) Time period. Key Words: asymmetric building, soft story, base shear, displacement, soft storey, time period.
Analysis and Capacity Based Earthquake Resistance Design of Multy Bay Multy S...IJERA Editor
Many reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures located in zones of high seismicity in India are constructed
without considering the seismic code provisions. The vulnerability of inadequately designed structures represents
seismic risk to occupants. The main cause of failure of multi-storey reinforced concrete frames during seismic
motion is the sway mechanism. If the frame is designed on the basis of strong column-weak beam concept the
possibilities of collapse due to sway mechanisms can be completely eliminated. In multi storey frame this can be
achieved by allowing the plastic hinges to form, in a predetermined sequence only at the ends of all the beams
while the columns remain essentially in elastic stage and by avoiding shear mode of failures in columns and
beams. This procedure for design is known as Capacity based design which would be the future design
philosophy for earthquake resistant design of multi storey reinforced concrete frames. Model of multi bay multi

Effect of soft storeys in earthquake resistant analysis of rc framed structureseSAT Journals
storey in which the stiffness is less than 70% of the storey above or less
than 80% of the combined stiffnesses of the three storeys above. It is the general practice in the multistoreyed buildings to
accommodate parking facilities for the vehicles of the occupants of the building. As we know that the soft storey in a building
structure causes stiffness irregularity in a structure, due to this the structure undergoes unequal storey drifts, formation of the
plastic hinges and then finally resulting into the collapse of the structure.This research work purely interacts with the effect of the
soft storeys in the analysis of RC framed structures as entitled above, and in this work the soft storeys positions has been provided
at different levels as shown in the analytical modelling. All the models are analyzed by using the ETABS software. The seismic
analysis performed consists of the Equivalent static analysis (ESA), response spectrum analysis (RSA), and the push over analysis
(PA). The seismic base shear forces, storey drifts, and the displacements has been compared with the three analysis methods as
listed above. With the aid of the push over analysis the values of the ductility and the response reduction factor have been
obtained. Apart from these, the performance point parameters such as spectral acceleration(Sa) , spectral displacement (Sd),
Base shear(V) and the roof displacement(D) has been also illustrated in this work and a detailed information of several stages of

In the present report, at present scenario many buildings are asymmetric in elevation based on the
distribution of mass and stiffness along each storey throughout the height of the building. Most recent
earthquakes have shown that the irregular distribution of mass, stiffness and strengths may cause serious damage
in structural systems. This project performance of the torsionally balanced and torsionally unbalanced buildings
also called as symmetric and asymmetric buildings by subjecting to response-spectrum analysis. The buildings
have un-symmetrical distribution of vertical irregularinstorey’s. In this project the effort is made to study the
effect of eccentricity between centre of mass (CM) and centre of stiffness (CR) on the performance of the
buildings. Three buildings (G+3), (G+6) & (G+9) models are considered for study, which are constructed on
medium soil in seismic zone II of India (as per IS:1893-2002), one symmetric and asymmetric in vertical
irregular distribution. The performance of a multi-storey framed building during sturdy earthquake motions
depends on the distribution of mass, stiffness, and strength in both the horizontal and vertical planes of the
building. In some cases, these weaknesses may be produced by discontinuities in stiffness, strength or mass
between adjoining storeys. Such discontinuities between storeys are often allied with sudden variations in the
frame geometry along the height.

EFFECT OF SHEAR WALL AREA ON SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF MULTI STORIED BUILDINGS WITH...Ijripublishers Ijri
The advances in three-dimensional structural analysis and computing resources have allowed the efficient
and safe design of increasingly taller structures. These structures are the consequence of increasing urban
densification and economic viability. The trend towards progressively taller structures has demanded a shift
from the traditional strength based design approach of buildings to a focus on constraining the overall motion
of the structure. Structural engineers have responded to this challenge of lateral control with a myriad
of systems that achieve motion control while adhering to the overall architectural vision.
Reinforced Concrete (RC) wall-frame buildings are widely recommended for urban construction in areas
with high seismic hazard. Presence of structural walls imparts a large stiffness to the lateral-force resisting
system of the building. Proper detailing of walls can also lead to ductile behavior of such structures during
strong earthquake shaking. One of the major parameters influencing the seismic behavior of wall-frame
buildings is the wall-area ratio. Thus shear wall area ratio is set as a key parameter which needs to be investigated
in this analytical study.

Abstract Majority of structural systems are designed with various levels of irregularities in accordance with architectural requirements in order to produce aesthetic buildings. Irregular structures come into being due to discontinuity in mass, stiffness and strength in elevation and due to asymmetric geometrical conCharturation on plane. One of the irregularities in elevation is discontinuity of columns. In the present study, effects of the structural irregularity which is produced by the discontinuity of a columns in RC space frames subjected to different wind loads was investigated. Investigation was carried out for R.C space frames, with and without vertical discontinuity of columns for G+5, G+10 & G+15 storeys, assumed to be located in different wind zones in India. Both regular and irregular structures were analysed using STAADPro. From the study, it was concluded that frames without vertical discontinuity of the columns having more stiffness when compared to frames with vertical discontinuity of columns.

Dynamic Analysis of Multi-Storeyed Frame-Shear Wall Building Considering SSIIJERA Editor
The structural system of a high-rise building often has a more pronounced effect than a low rise building on the
total building cost and the architecture aspect of building. Shear walls are lateral load resisting structural
systems which provide stability to structures from lateral loads like wind and seismic Loads. The design of multi
storey building is to have good lateral load resisting System along with gravity load system for safety of
occupant and for better performance of structure even in most adverse condition. The main scope of this project
is to apply class room knowledge in the real world by designing a multi-storied residential building. Shear walls
are more efficient in resisting lateral loads in multi storied buildings. Steel and reinforced concrete shear walls
are kept in major positions of multi storied buildings which are made in consideration of seismic forces and
wind forces. To solve this purpose shear walls are a very powerful structural elements, if used judiciously can
reduce deflections and stresses to a very great extent. Our project contains a brief description of building with
shear wall and without shear wall thoroughly discussed structural analysis of a building to explain the
application of shear wall. The design analysis of the multi storied building in our project is done through
STAAD-PRO, most popular structural engineering software. It is featured with some ultimate power tool,
analysis and design facilities which make it more users friendly.

ANALYSIS OF SOFT STOREY FOR MULTI STORYED BUILDING IN ZONE-4Ijripublishers Ijri
Multi-storey buildings are becoming increasingly common in developed and developing countries with the increase in
urbanization all over the world. Many of these buildings do not have structural walls at ground floor level to increase the
flexibility of the space for recreational use such as parking or for retail or commercial use. these buildings which possess
storey that are significantly weaker or more flexible than adjacent storey are known as soft storey buildings, these
are characterized by having a story which has a lot of open space. while the unobstructed space of the soft story might
be aesthetically or commercially desirable, it also means that there are less opportunities to install shear walls, specialized
walls which are designed to distribute lateral forces so that a building can cope with the swaying characteristic of
an earthquake.
Review on seismic performance of multi storied rc building with soft storeyeSAT Journals
Abstract Soft storey is a storey in which the stiffness is less than 70% of the storey above or less than 80% of the combined stiffness of three storeys above. In a multi-storied building, soft storey is adopted to accommodate parking which is an unavoidable feature. This open ground storey is vulnerable to collapse during earthquake. Soft storey in a building causes stiffness irregularity in a structure. Due to this the structures undergoes unequal storey drift, formation of plastic hinges and finally collapse. The presence of infill wall improves the performance of building under the lateral forces. This paper deals with the study of literature of previous researches. These researches focus on the combination of measures adopted on the structure to reduce the effect of soft storey through static and dynamic analysis. The parameters studied in these researches are storey drift, axial and shear forces bending moment, displacement, time period, base shear. Also, it focuses on the equivalent strut approach to consider the effect of infill wall on the performance on building. From these researches, the interest arises to perform static and dynamic analysis to reduce the stiffness irregularity which is the main reason behind the poor performance of the building with soft storey.

Seismic pounding between adjacent rc buildings with and without base isolatio...eSAT Journals
Abstract Among the possible structural damages during an earthquake, the seismic induced pounding also has been one of the commonly observed phenomena. This is because the separation gap between many adjacent buildings is inadequate to accommodate the relative motions, so buildings vibrate out of phase and collides. Despite the fact that the seismic pounding between nearby structures is considered in the codal procurements, the act of development is still an issue in numerous metropolitan zones where the structures are built with no adequate partition separation which brings about their pounding. In this study E-Tabs nonlinear software is used for simulation of adjacent multi-storeyed RC frame buildings of G+14 and G+9 storey, the provisions that may reduce the effects of pounding like the separation distance, addition of shear walls, lateral bracings and variation in storey height of the buildings have been considered for analysis. And the responses like storey-displacement and pounding force by considering both fixed base and base-isolated conditions are arrived.

Effect of Seismic Joint in the Performance of Multi-Storeyed L-Shaped BuildingIOSR Journals
The choices of building shapes and structural systems have significant effect on their seismic performance. While symmetrical buildings result in a fairly uniform distribution of seismic forces throughout its components. Unsymmetrical buildings result in highly indeterminate distribution of forces making the analysis and prediction more complicated. L-shaped buildings are among those unsymmetrical structures which are most commonly found in practice in the form of school, office, commercial buildings. In this work three dimensional models of L-shaped buildings are investigated for their seismic performance, varying bay length and storey height. These models were analysed for three conditions viz with gap, with seismic joint and with neither of these. The modeling of structures analysis is carried out using STAAD Pro V8i, also the performance is analysed providing brick infill and compared with, without infill condition. Performances is measured in terms of displacements, axial forces, bending moments, shear forces and compared for those conditions mentioned in the identified column viz., corner, intermediate and interior
Seismic performance of r c buildings on sloping grounds with different types ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Structure are highly susceptible to serve damages in earthquake scenario, so choosing an appropriate lateral force resisting
bracing systems will have a significant effect on performance of the structure. So this present study is aimed at evaluating and
comparing various types of eccentric steel bracings for 12 storey RC frame building resisting on sloping ground configurations.
For this 5 types of bracing systems like X-Bracing, Diagonal bracing, K- bracing, V-bracing and inverted V bracing are
considered on the outer periphery of the buildings with step back and set back – step back type configurations are modeled and
analyzed. The models are compared for different aspects within the structure, such as the maximum storey displacement, base
shear, storey drift and storey shear, the structure is analyzed for seismic zone V and medium soil condition as per IS 1893:2002
using ETABS software. Results conclude that on sloping ground due to irregularity on ground surface, the structures are more
vulnerable to earthquakes. Hence use of eccentric steel bracing is an effective and economical way to resist earthquake forces,
Inverted V type bracing performs well compared to other bracing types. By using inverted V type bracing in step back buildings
types maximum storey displacement of 70% and storey drift of 66% are obtained. Similarly for setback – step back configuration
maximum storey displacement of 74% and storey drift of 70% are obtained respectively.

Abstract
Earthquakes are one of the most life threatening, environmental hazardous and destructive natural phenomenons that causes
shaking of ground. This result in damage to the structures, hence we need to design the buildings to withstand these earthquakes
which may occur at least once in the life time of the structure. Structures possess less stiffness and strength in case of irregular
configured frames; to enhance this, lateral load resisting systems are introduced into the frames. In this study, G+5 storey
building model has been analyzed considering different types of vertical geometric irregularities and steel bracings using
pushover analysis with the help of ETABS 9.7 software. Addition of X type brace, V type Brace and Inverted V/K type brace shows
that use of X-type of bracing is found more suitable to enhance the performance of the irregular buildings.
Key Words: pushover analysis, vertical irregularity, steel bracings, performance point.
Strengthening of RC Framed Structure Using Energy Dissipation DevicesIOSR Journals
A large numbers of existing buildings in India are severely deficient against earthquake forces and
the number of such buildings is growing very rapidly. This paper presents a way of using energy dissipation
devices for seismic strengthening of a RC framed structure. The objective was to improve the seismic
performance of the building to resist the earthquake. The viscous dampers are used as an energy dissipation
device in the form of single, double, inverted V, V type of dampers with different percentages of damping such
as 10%, 20% and 30% to prevent building from collapse in a major earthquake and also to control the damage
during earthquake. The performance of the buildings is assessed as per the procedure prescribed in ATC-40
and FEMA 356.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
