Abstract -In multi-storied framed building, harms from seismic tremor by and large start at areas of structural weakness present in the lateral load resisting frames. Diaphragms with unexpected discontinuities or varieties in stiffness, which incorporates those having removed or open regions more prominent than 50 percent of the gross encased diaphragm area, or changes in viable diaphragm stiffness of more than 50 percent starting with one story then onto the next. In structural designing, a diaphragm is a basic framework used to exchange horizontal loads to shear walls or frames essentially through in-plane shear stress. Lateral loads are normally wind and seismic tremor loads.

In this paper attempt has been made to study two sorts of arrangement namely diaphragm discontinuity and re-entrant corners in the structure. These irregularities are made according to provision 7.1 of IS 1893:2002(part1) code. Different irregular models were considered having diaphragm irregularity and re- entrant corners which were analyzed utilizing ETABS to decide the seismic reaction of the building. The models were investigated utilizing static, dynamic and pushover analysis and parameters considered being displacement, maximum drift, base shear, and time period. From the present study the model which is most vulnerable to failure under exceptionally extreme seismic zone is discovered.

Keywords – Diaphragm discontinuity, equivalent static, Response spectrum, pushover analysis, displacement, drift, base shear and time period.

1. INTRODUCTION

For a structure to perform well during earthquake, the structure ought to have four fundamental traits, in particular basic and general design, sufficient lateral strength, stiffness and ductility. Structures with straightforward normal geometry and consistently distributed mass and stiffness in plan and in addition in rise are considered to endure much lesser harm than structures with irregular designs. However, these days, with the progression in fast development of urbanization and for aesthetic reason structures with irregular arrangements are broadly built. These setups in structures prompt non-uniform appropriations in their masses, stiffness and strength accordingly they are inclined to damage amid tremors. Henceforth in present study an attempt has been made to think about the conduct of such structures situated in serious seismic zone.

The segment 7 of IS 1893(part1):2002 enrolls the abnormality in structures. These abnormalities are sorted as takes after

  1. Vertical irregularities alluding to sudden change of strength, stiffness, geometry and mass results in unpredictable dissemination of strengths or conveyance over the stature of the building.

  2. Plan abnormalities which allude to uneven arrangement shapes (L-, T-, U- and F-) or discontinuities in the horizontal resting components (diaphragm), for example, cut-outs, huge openings, re-entrant corners and other unexpected changes bringing about torsion, diaphragm disfigurements and stress concentration.

    As said above plan abnormalities might be because of intermittent diaphragm or nearness of re-entrant corners in the structures. The diaphragm is a horizontal component that exchanges forces between vertical resistance components. The diaphragm intermittence may happen with unexpected varieties in stiffness, including those having removed or open ranges more than half of the gross encased diaphragm area, or change in viable diaphragm stiffness of more than half starting with one story then onto the next story. The re- entrant corners, where projections of the structure past the re-entrant corner are more than 15 percent of its plan measurement in the given direction is accepted in shapes like L, T, H, C, + shapes.

    1. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

    6. CONCLUSIONS

  1. When comparing the results of static and response spectrum method, the magnitude of displacement is more in static method as the response of the building is assumed to behave in a linear elastic manner.

  2. Results of response spectrum method are more accurate. Response spectrum is based on known seismic activity. Static analysis is base shear analysis.

  3. Pushover analysis gives higher value as compared to static and response spectrum method because in this method building is analyzed until the maximum capacity is reached.

  4. Dynamic loads are applied as a function of time, this time varying load application induces time varying response (displacement, drift, forces and stresses), and these time varying characteristics make dynamic analysis more complicated and more realistic then static analysis.

  5. From Fig.1&2, it is observed that the drift values are maximum for model D1 than the rest of the models hence is more susceptible for seismic forces.

  6. From Fig.3&4, model L3 has maximum drifts as compared to the other models because of more re-entrant corners more (80%in X direction & 40% in y direction).

  7. From Fig.5 & 6, it is observed that the displacement values remained almost same in static and response spectrum analysis for all models, whereas in pushover analysis model D1 gave higher displacement value as compared to rest of the models. Therefore model D1 is most vulnerable.

  8. From Fig. 7&8, when comparing the re-entrant modes with regular model, it is seen that mode L3 is most vulnerable as re entrant corners are more (80%in X direction & 40% in y direction.

  9. From Fig. 9 & 10 the magnitude of base shear is maximum for regular mode R and minimum for re- entrant model L3, more the base shear of the building more will the member attract seismic forces. The influence of diaphragm opening played a major role in reducing the base shear hence attracting less seismic forces.

  10. From Fig 11, results of fundamental natural period have proved that code IS 1893 does not consider the irregularity of buildings. The analytical method gives more accurate results as the time period is calculated on the basis of mass and stiffness of the building whereas the codal empirical formula depends only on the height of the building.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Above all else, acclaim and much gratitude go to God for the blessing that has been bestowed upon me in every one of my endeavors.

I am profoundly obligated to Md Mansoor Ahmed sir, assistant Professor of Structural Engineering department, my counsel and guide, for the inspiration, direction, tutelage and persistence all through the project work. I might want thank my Parents without their affection, persistence and bolster, I could not have finished this work.

At last, I wish to thank numerous friends for the encouragement and support.
