ABSTRACT
Structural Engineers are facing the challenge of striving for the most efficient and economical
design with accuracy in solution while ensuring that the final design of a building must be
serviceable for its intended function over its design life - time. This project presents upper
stories RCC framed building analysed under the lateral loading effect of earthquake using
ETABS(Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building system). ETABS is incorporated
with all the major analysis engines that is static, dynamic, Linear and non-linear, etc., and this
Software is used to analyse and design especially the buildings. Because of the facilities
provided in this software at the modelling stage, the buildings can be modelled as per the
arrangement of the members of the project in Practical, and this software considers the beams,
columns as Line members; slabs, walls are as frame members. Taking the horizontal loading
effects of Seismic forces; In the design of this project, I take dynamic loading along with the
Static loading and Live loads as per IS Code 1893:2002, IS 456:2000 and almost all the
members of the project can be analysed and designed as per Indian code using this software,
where ever require to design the members using excel sheets which are prepared by us in this
phase.

INTRODUCTION
The one of the most sensitive issues that the Structural Engineers face is the selection of proper
procedure for estimating the seismic performance of the structure. This is very important when
they are dealing with high rise structures as the improper selection of the method ultimately
leads to the results which are far away from the correct results. Dynamic analysis is one of the
effective procedures for evaluating the seismic performance of the building. The damage
control is one of important design considerations which is increasing its influence and can be
achieved only by introducing dynamic analysis in the design. The dynamic analysis can be
done by soft wares like Etabs, Staad Pro, and SAP. Etabs is one of the leading software which
is presently using by many companies and Structural Engineers for their projects. In this paper
Etabs is used for the dynamic analysis of the multi-storey building. The methodology followed
in Etabs for the analysis is as follows modelling of the multi-storey building, static analysis,
designing and dynamic analysis. For the study, the multi-storey building is being designed to
resist almost all the lateral forces. The tower-area columns are located in the grid of 10.4 ×
10.4 m having square and rectangle sizes. In basement areas, columns are at 8 × 8 m grid
(approx.) and columns with beam-slab system is provided.

The wall, in building which resist lateral loads produced by wind or earthquakes are known
as shear walls.
Shear walls are not only designed to resist gravity or vertical loads (due to its self-weight
and other living or moving loads), but they are also designed for lateral loads of earthquakes
or wind.
Shear wall is one of the important parts of structure which is generally used in the structure
to control the earthquake effect. These walls are having very high stiffness and strength
which gives the structure to resist large thrust.
Drift is defined as the lateral displacement. Storey drift is the drift of one level of a multi
storey building relative to the level below. Inter story drift is the difference between the roof
and floor displacements of any given story as the building sways during the earthquake,
normalized by the story height.
Base shear is an estimate of the maximum expected lateral force that will occur due to
seismic ground motion at the base of a structure. Calculations of base shear (V) depend on:
soil conditions at the site. Proximity to potential sources of seismic activity (such as
geological faults).

LITERATURE SURVEY
Anand et al (2010) studied the seismic behavior of RCC buildings with and without shear
wall under different soil conditions. The values of base shear axial force and lateral
displacement where compared between two frames. Lateral displacement, base shear, axial,
to medium and medium to soft for all the building frames. It was concluded that soil structure
interaction must be suitably considered by designing frames for seismic forces.
Amin et al (2011) studied the effect of soft soil on multistoried reinforced concrete building
frame. Four building models (3, 6, 9 and 12 storey) with identical building plan where
considered to investigate the effect of soft soil for multistoried reinforced concrete building
frame. Soft storey level was altered from ground floor to top floor for each model and
equivalent static analysis was carried out using ETABS software.
Kalyanshetti M.G (2015) studied the effect of Shear wall in the seismic Analysis of Building
Frames considering Soil Structure Interaction, shear wall ,natural period ,base shear,
winklerian approach.
Kanhaiya Abhay Zanwar (2016) studied on effect of soil flexibility in the seismic design
building using dynamic analysis considering fixed base condition.
