Abstract:
India is a developing country with a variety of building practices and social and economic
structure, which needs to evolve its own strategies for seismic hazard evaluation. The last
decade has pointed to our shortcoming in risk reduction programmes, during the few
damaging earthquakes. Due to this earthquake alone in India there was immense loss of life
and property. After this painful loss attention is now being given to the evaluation of the
adequacy of strength in structures to resist strong ground motions. After Bhuj earthquake IS -
1893 was revised and published in the year 2002, before this incident it was revised in 1984.
The code was first published in 1962 as ‘Recommendations for Earthquake Resistant Design
of Structure’. The main reason for the loss of life and property was inadequacy of knowledge
of behaviour of structures during ground motions. The vulnerability of the structures against
seismic activity must be essentially studied. In this study we are designing a regular G+15
R.C.C building with dual system to meet predefined performance objectives using ETABS
v.2015.
