Performance based Analysis of RCC Building

Performance Based Seismic Engineering is the modern approach to earthquake resistant design. It is an attempt to predict the buildings with predictable seismic performance. In one Sense, it is limit-states design extended to cover complex range of issues faced by earthquake Engineers. The analysis will be performed on new as well as existing R.C.C. buildings and the performance of buildings in future earthquake will be obtained. Non Linear static analysis will be performed in existing as well as new buildings in finite element program. It helps in the investigation of the behavior of the structure under different loading conditions, its load deflection behavior and the cracks pattern. In the present study, the non-linear response of RCC frame using finite element program under the loading has been carried out with the intention to investigate the relative importance of several factors in the non-linear analysis of RCC frames. This includes the variation in load displacement graph.
