ANALYSIS OF HIGHRISE BUILDING WITH DIFFERENT LATERAL LOAD SYSTEMS USING SAP2000

P. Rahamathulla, S. Sudheer

Abstract :

Efficient lateral systems, decreases the lateral deformations caused by the seismic forces in the buildings. The distribution of the mass symmetrically reduces the tensional effect in the building. The lateral system should be symmetrically placed in the building to reduce both tensional and seismic forces in the structure. The type of soil also has more impact on lateral deformation of the structure subjected to seismic forces. The soft soils effect is elastic thus reduces the lateral effects compared to Hard rocky soil which is rigid, transfer the seismic effects directly to the structure results in more deflections.

In this work, it is proposed to carry out an analytical study, on multistory building of 35 stories, was carried out accounting for different seismic zones and soil types. The suitability and efficiency of different lateral acing systems that are commonly used and also that of concrete infills were investigated. The different acing systems viz., X -ace, V- ace, inverted V or chevron ace and infills are introduced in these analytical models. These building models are analyzed, using SAP 2000 software.
