Comparative Study of AAC Block and Brick Fully Infill Buildings and Buildings having Soft Storey at Different Floor Subjected to Earthquake: A Review

Abstract

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete is a Low cost, Lightweight, Load-bearing, High-insulating, Durable building product, which is produced in a wide range of sizes and strength and used widely due to its low cost in earthquake prone area. In this study a 3D numerical model of AAC and Brick fully infill building and buildings having soft storey is constructed and performed the analysis by using software SAP 2000 (ver.16.0) using static nonlinear method. This paper highlights the comparing and investigating the changes in structural behaviour of AAC and Brick fully infill and building having soft storey subjected to seismic load. The result of the analysis for displacement base shear and storey drift have been studied and compared for all the structure models.
