Planning and Designing of Earthquake Resistance Residential Building

Earthquakes is caused because of the movement of tectonic plate that cause strain and unforeseen unleash of this strain energy cause earthquake. seismal activity is common in most elements of the globe. The past earthquake occurred experiences have incontestable vast loss of life and building stock, moving the social and economic. we all know that it's impractical to forestall associate degree earthquake, at least we will scale back the harm by making the buildings earthquake resistant. With the advancement in our understanding of the earthquakes, most of the countries have mandated the incorporation of seismal provisions in building style. within the event of associate degree earthquake, the seismal waves originating from the main focus is transmitted all told the doable directions. These shock waves propagate within the variety of body waves and surface waves through the earth's interior and, area unit extremely random in nature. These ground motions cause structures to vibrate and induce inertia forces within the structural parts. within the absence of seismal style, the building will fall and cause destruction. The seismal style aims to primarily guarantee life safety and secures the practicality of the building. In style it's essential to adopt earthquake�safe construction practices for the economical seismal performance of a building. No region within the whole of India may be thought of as earthquake free. The paper aims to form associate degree awareness regarding the earthquake�safe buildings in varied seismal zones. the foremost common building encountered within the recent years area unit the instant resisting frame (RC frame), moment resisting frames. This study investigates the development practices adopted for these common building. Any construction project to begin with starts with planning of the building or structure followed by layout then Design and Analysis of the structure. This project involves the planning, layout, design and analysis of a residential building located in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The layout of the proposed residential building is based on a plot of size 10m x 20m. Residential house is of 2BHK configuration. All the drafting was done using AutoCAD. Also, these drawings made on AutoCAD also served as a base for transfer of the structure for analysis and design into STAAD Pro. The analysis and design of the entire structure has been completed using STAAD pro. The results include the various forces acting on various members as well various schedules for various members. Also using the software, we got the concrete take-off as well as the weight of the various reinforcement bars.
