Abstract

In high rise building or multi storey building, soft storey construction is a typical feature because of urbanization and the space occupancy considerations. Reinforced concrete framed buildings with in-fills are usually analyzed as bare frame, without considering the strength and stiffness contributions of the in-fills. However when subjected to a strong lateral loads, infill panels tends to interact with bonding frame and may induce a load resistance mechanism that is not accounted for the design. These provisions reduce the stiffness of the lateral load resisting system and a progressive collapse becomes unavoidable in a severe earthquake for such buildings due to soft storey. This storey level containing the concrete columns were unable to provide adequate shear resistance, hence damage and collapse are most often observed in soft storey buildings during the earthquake. Open first storey is a typical feature in the modern multi-storey constructions in urban India. Such features are highly undesirable in buildings built in seismically active areas; this has been verified in numerous experiences of strong shaking during the past earthquakes. Response spectrum analysis is chosen for the analysis of the model since it provides response to the applied loads and spectra conditions. In the current study the focus is on the performance and behavior of a structure with soft storey at different floors with the help of response spectrum method. For analysis purpose, six different cases of model are studied using ETABS V.16.03. A G+20 building with simple square plan is considered, as per IS 456:2000 and IS 1893:2002.

Earthquake resistant design of structures a brief introduction and presentation

Masonry buildings are brittle structures and one of themost vulnerable of the entire building stock under strong earthquake shaking. Thus, it is very important to improve the seismic behavior of masonry buildings. A simple way of making Masonry Walls behave well during earthquake shaking is by making them act together as a box along with the roof at the top and with the foundation at the bottom.

An analytical macromodel based on an equivalent strut approach integrated with a smooth hysteretic model is proposed for representing masonry infill panels in nonlinear analysis of frame structures. The hysteresis model uses degrading control parameters for stiffness and strength degradation and slip ''pinching'' that can be implemented to replicate a wide range of hysteretic force-displacement behavior resulting from different design and geometry. The paper presents the development of the hysteretic model and the definitions of the control parameters, which can be determined using any suitable theoretical model for masonry infills. An available theoretical model for simplified engineering evaluation of masonry infilled frames was explored for estimating the control parameters of the proposed macromodel. The macromodel was incorporated in a nonlinear structural analysis program, IDARC2D Version 4.0, for quasi-static cyclic and dynamic analysis of masonry infilled frames. Simulations of experimental force-deformation behavior of prototype infill frame subassemblies are performed to validate the proposed model. A lightly reinforced concrete frame structure is analyzed for strong ground motions to evaluate the influence of masonry infill panels on the dynamic response.
