Seismic Behaviour of Rcc Framed Buildings With Different Structural Framings

Beam-slab, flat plate, and flat slab systems are commonly used structural systems. Reinforced concrete multistory buildings with large spans can reduce the number of columns needed to support the building, which can reduce cost and increase the useable space. The seismic resistance offered by a structure is primarily attributed to the combination of its elastic strength, damping capabilities, and inelastic deformability. This paper compares the seismic performance of four different structural systems in a medium-rise reinforced concrete building with a fixed base. The four selected structural forms for a fixed-base reinforced concrete building are subjected to a set of selected earthquakes and analyzed using nonlinear time history analysis to study the seismic response parameters, such as the time period, base shear, peak roof displacement, and peak roof acceleration, for soil type hard in seismic zone v as per BIS code 1893–2016(Part 1).
