Variation of Concrete and Steel Quantities for A T Shaped R.C Building Designed in All Seismic Zones using Static and Dynamic Analysis

One of the most destructive phenomena of a nature is a severe earthquake and it’s after effect. It is highly impossible to prevent an earth quake from occurring, but the damage to the buildings can be controlled through proper design and detailing. Hence it is mandatory to do the seismic analysis and design to structures against collapse. Designing a structure in such a way that reducing damage during an earthquake makes the structure quite uneconomical, as the earth quake might or might not occur in its life time and is a rare phenomenon. The present IS code 1893:2002 doesn’t provide information about the variation of percentage of steel and concrete from zone to zone. This project mainly focus on the variation of percentage in concrete and steel quantities when the building is designed for earthquake forces in all seismic zones as per IS 1893:2002 for both static and dynamic analysis. The building plan taken for this project is an irregular T shape with shear walls and the software used is STRUDS v11. It is observed in the results for beams, columns, shear walls and footing both concrete and steel quantities increase are increasing in static analysis compared to dynamic analysis.
