Earthquake resistant design of G + 5 multistorey residential building using STAAD.pro

Abstract The main objective of my present research is to evaluate the structural stability with appropriate techniques by taking standard configuration, the correct cross-section for column and beam, etc. Developing preferred requirements and different types for conditions of support, load types, and amalgamation of loads. It has been said that “Many buildings have been damaged or demolished by earthquakes in India, not killing people, but losing precious lives”. The ability of structures to resist a major earthquake is significantly enhanced by observing how buildings acknowledge to the earthquake and utilising the expertise obtained by engineers. During the design of a perfect structure many challenging areas need to be addressed and when the structures are to be constructed in earthquake-prone areas, those difficulties are compounded. The main intension and purpose of this paper is to design an earthquake resistant structure by undertaking seismic study of the structure by static equivalent method of analysis and execute the design of structure using STAAD.pro software. For this present research work, a G + 5 residential building is considered. Seismic calculations are executed for all the earthquake zones.
