Seismic Analysis of Unsymmetrical Buildings Compering with Regular Building

Abstract

Structural analysis of building is taken into account for finding out the behaviors of a structure when subjected to some external force acting on building. Building structural design for seismic loads is critical for structural safety during large ground movementsBuildings with symmetrical and unsymmetrical plan geometry, strength, and stiffness are also varied. During earthquakes, structures with a symmetric distribution of stiffness and strength in plan experience combined lateral and torsional motions.Previous earthquakes, in which many reinforced concrete structures were badly damaged or collapsed, highlighted the need to assess building seismic performance. Earthquakes can cause irregular distribution of mass, stiffness and strengths i.e., unsymmetrical buildings may cause heavy damage in structural members. Buy referring this paper it is concluded that symmetric buildings perform better than un-symmetric buildings when subjected to earthquake forces.
