Abstract:
From last decade India is heading towards development among all fields which leads development of various infrastructure facilities. There should be some primitive measures to construct economical, aesthetical, resistive infrastructure to protect the structures from the seismic forces during earthquake events. Due to occurrence of earthquake in India there has been immense loss of life and property. After this painful loss, the main attention is to give adequate strength to the infrastructure to resist ground motion. It becomes necessary to put one step further with the advancement in the philosophies for earthquake resistance. After Bhuj earthquake IS 1893 was revised and published in the year 2002 and now in 2016, before this incident it was revised in 1984. The code was first published in 1962 as ‘‘Recommendation of Earthquake Resistant design of structure’’ the main reason for the loss of life and economy is inadequate knowledge of structural behaviour under the ground motion. In India, now-a-days infrastructures are highly affected by earthquakes and result in considerable economic losses. To overcome this problem we have studied advances in earthquake analysis and design for realistic prediction of behaviour of structure during earthquake. If the building is designed for realistic behaviour in advance, it shall experience least damage due to earthquake. The current study aims at understanding realistic behaviour of structure under dynamic loads using Time History Analysis with the use of ETABS software.
