Seismic Analysis and Design of G+ 4 Structures with Modified Provision

In order to compete in the ever growing competent market it is very important for a structural engineer to save time. As a sequel to this an attempt is made to analyze and design a multistoried building by using a software package STADD PRO. As STAAD Pro is the current leading design software in the market, many structural designing companies use this software for their project design purposes. So, this article mainly deals with the analysis of the results obtained from the design of a building structure when it is designed using STAAD Pro Software. The software method of analysis is used for a G+4 Residential building located in Zone-II. The scope behind presenting this work is to learn how relevant Indian standard codes are used for design of various building elements such as beams, columns, slabs, and foundation and stair case by using STAAD Pro package when seismic loads and wind loads are acting on the structure. Earthquakes that occurred in past lead to the complete collapse of the buildings as structures are not well designed and constructed without adequate strength. To ensure safety against seismic forces of building, there is need to study the seismic analysis to design earthquake resistant structures. The present work deals with the analysis of a residential building of G+4 in which the dead load and live loads are applied and the structural design dimensions for beams, columns, footing is obtained. Beams and columns shall be designed as per IS 456:2000 and IS 875 (part1).
