Abstract |
Soil is one of the most important engineering materials. When a structure is placed on a foundation consisting of soil, the loads from the structure cause the soil to be stressed. The two most important requirements for the stability and safety of the structure are firstly, the deformation, especially the vertical deformation, called ‘settlement’ of the soil, should not be excessive and must be within tolerable or permissible limits. And secondly, the shear strength of the foundation soil should be adequate to withstand the stresses induced. This project aims to study the seismic response of structure on different types of soil. All the Civil Engineering structures, ultimately rest on the soil. They transfer their whole load to the soil, so we have to construct the foundations to retain these structures. In case of the hard soil having sufficient strength we can provide the shallow foundations. If we know the strength of the soil then we can decide which type of foundation is to be used. If the soil is weak in strength then we have to provide the deep foundations like pile foundation, well foundation etc. A RCC building of G+10, G+15, and G+20 storeys with floor height 3.2m constructed on hard, medium and soft soil subjected to earthquake loading in Zone II, III, IV and V has been considered for analysis. In this regard, STAAD Pro V8i software has been considered as a tool to perform. Effect of different types of soil on RCC structure is analysed. Displacements, axial forces and bending moments along X and Z direction are calculated for four different columns. Maximum base Shear along X and Z direction is also calculated. |
