Seismic Analysis of a Tall Building with and without Open storey’s : A Review

Abstract

A common feature which we see in the modern Tall building constructions in growing urban India is Open storey. Though Tall buildings with open storeys are quite vulnerable to collapse due to earthquake but still their construction is wide spread in a developing country like India. A big need arises to provide openings such as car parking space or even basements at ground level or below and for offices with open storey's at different levels of building and this out weights the warning which is given against such buildings from engineering sector. Now, with the availability and easy usage of fast computers, use of different civil engineering software's has greatly reduced the various complexities that arise in the analysis and designing of a project. In this paper a study has been investigated which is on the seismic behavior of multistory buildings and even tall buildings with open storey's or without open storey's when seismic analysis is carried over it. It is observed that buildings without open storeys are more resistant and strong structures as compared to buildings with open storey's when undergone seismic analysis.
