Survey Paper on Building Resting at Sloping Terrain

The paper overviews on idea about work of different researches carried out on building resting on sloping terrains. The result from a previous experiment expressed that the analysis of structure depends on idealization of geometry of structure and its load system. The scope of present work is to analyze behaviour of multi storied building having vertical irregularities which are especially seen in hilly regions. All Analysis were carried out by using finite element software. Previous examination focuses on parameters like story drift, lateral displacement, story shear and axial force in columns, time period variation under both static and dynamic loading. This study summarizes the knowledge in the seismic response of buildings on sloping terrain conditions. It is observed that the seismic behaviour of buildings resting on sloping ground is different from flat ground buildings. Most of the studies agreed that the buildings resting on sloping ground has higher displacement and base shear compared to buildings resting on plain ground. Also, the shorter columns are subjected to heavier forces which undergoes damage when subjected to earthquake. Step back building could seems to be more hazardous during seismic excitation.
