Abstract:
In India multi-storied building are usually constructed due to high cost and scarcity of land .In
order to utilize maximum land area builders and architects generally propose high to medium
rise building plan configurations. These buildings which are constructed in seismic prone areas,
are likely to be damaged during earthquake. Earthquake is a natural phenomenon which can
generate the most destructive forces on the structure. Buildings should be made safe for the
lives by proper design and detailing of structural member in order to have a ductile form of
failure.
The concept of earthquake resistant design is that the building should be designed to
resist the forces, which arises due to Design Basis Earthquake, with only minor damages and
the forces, which arises due to Maximum Considered Earthquake, with some accepted structural
damages but no collapse. This project report comprises of analysis and design of a RC building.
This building is designed in ETABS and Retrofitting of building is carried out by RCC jacketing
and FRP method
