Non-linear static analysis of RCC framed structures with and without infill walls

Abstract

The concept of an earthquake is becoming an exceptional study in our use because no longer a particular area can be targeted as an earthquake-resistant area. So, the main motif of any structural engineer during the design is to design a structure that could cope with seismic pressure successfully. On this note, non-linear static pushover analysis has become a prominent tool for the structural design and evaluation of RC elements. In this project G + 5, G + 9, G + 5 with infill walls and G + 9 with infill walls RCC framed structures have been analyzed by the use of SAP 2000 v19. The structures are designed as in keeping with IS 1893(Part 1): 2002 for earthquake forces in seismic zone IV. The use of the equivalent strut approach for modeling the infill walls is adopted and strut is designed in accordance with FEMA-356. Non-linear Static pushover analysis is performed on the designed RCC framed structures with and without infill walls. And pushover results are used to evaluate structural performance under design earthquake load, and code requirements are discussed.
