Design of Earthquake Resistant Residential Building

Abstract

Shimla is the hill queen of our country. As it is rapidly developing the construction in the city is very costly. Economic point of view if the building is constructed at a far distance from the city it will be cheaper and residents can live peaceful without any external polluted sources. Having peaceful surroundings the main point of view of most of the people in today’s lifestyle. This project named as ―DESIGN OF EARTH-QUAKE RESISTANT RESIDENTIAL BUILDING” involves the analysis of simple 2-D frames of varying floor heights and varying no of bays using a very popular software tool STAAD Pro. Using the analysis results various graphs were drawn between the maximum axial force, maximum shear force, maximum bending moment, maximum tensile force and maximum compressive stress being developed for the frames on plane ground and sloping ground.
