Seismic Analysis and Design of A G 9 Residential Building With Ductile Detailing Using Macros

Abstract

The predictable growth in economic actions during the 21st century is very huge in construction and in transportation. With the increase in population and globalisation there is very less land available for construction purposes, thus the need of high rise buildings which are capable enough to resist seismic forces are of much importance. Designing the members of such a high rise building is being very repetitive and time consuming, so the concept of MACROS which is widely used for design purposes and can easily eliminate these disadvantages. In this project the structure is first analysed using Staad Pro and members of the building are designed on the same .Manual calculations are compared with the Staad Pro results. After this code is developed for different members of structure to remove human errors and time consumption. At the end ductile detailing is done . In general, ductility of a structure is the capacity to undergo elastic deformationswithout singnificant loss of strength. So , if the structure is ductile , its coccupantswill have sufficient warning of the impending failure, thus reducing the probability of loss of life in the event of collapse.
