ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF G+6 BUILDING SUBJECTED TO DIFFERENT SEISMIC ZONES IN INDIA USING STAAD.PRO

Abstract

The Analysis and Design of a G+6 Building Subjected to Different Seismic Zones in India Using STAAD.Pro focuses on the structural analysis and seismic design of a seven-storey reinforced concrete building under varying earthquake conditions. India is divided into different seismic zones based on the level of seismic hazard, making seismic consideration an important part of building design. The project evaluates the structural behavior of the G+6 building when subjected to seismic forces corresponding to different seismic zones. The building model is developed and analyzed using STAAD.Pro, a structural analysis and design software widely used for evaluating building structures under different loading conditions. The analysis considers important loads such as dead load, live load, and seismic load, along with appropriate load combinations. Structural parameters such as support reactions, bending moments, shear forces, axial forces, displacements, and storey responses are evaluated. The study compares the structural response of the building for different seismic conditions and examines how increasing seismic intensity affects the behavior of structural members. The analysis helps in identifying critical beams, columns, and other structural components that require appropriate design consideration. Reinforced concrete members are designed based on the calculated forces and relevant structural design requirements.f The results obtained from the STAAD.Pro analysis provide a comparative understanding of the effect of seismic zones on structural performance. The study demonstrates the importance of considering earthquake forces during the planning and design of multi-storey buildings in seismic-prone regions.
