In the study numerous buildings exhibit irregularities of their architectural plans, a feature that could render them susceptible to excessive seismic activities in the future. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the seismic vulnerability and response of regular and irregular shaped multi-storey building of identical weight in context. Both static and dynamic (response spectrum) analysis has been done to observe the influence of shape of a building on its responses to various loading. G+12 storied regular (rectangular) and irregular shaped buildings have been modeled using program staad pro for seismic zone III. Impact of wind and static load on exclusive formed shape along with dynamic response spectrum has been meticulously analyzed considering the mass of each shaped is identical. A comparative analysis of the center of mass and maximum displacement overstorey of variously shaped buildings under static loading and dynamic response spectrum has been conducted. All form buildings react nearly in sync if the total mass fluctuates only little. But as the end result indicates, a structure's irregular dimensions are what expose it to its vulnerable direction. It is possible to build an irregularly shaped structure that might act more like a rectangular building while keeping the total mass the same.

The elevated water tank comprises important structural elements which includes slabs, beams, columns, and footings, facilitating the transfer of loads amongst these contributors and subsequently to the subgrade of the soil. This paper goals is to comprehensively analyze the structural behaviours exhibited by elevated water tanks underneath various loading conditions. The behaviours of multiplied water tanks variety underneath various styles of loadings, inclusive of dead, live, and seismic loads, that are comprehensively analyzed. This paper primarily aims to conduct a hydrostatic evaluation of circular water tanks and emphasizes the necessity of a parametric study. To obtain this goal, 2, 2.5, and 3 lakh litters of tanks are being considered for the analysis which are all examined underneath area III seismic situations whilst keeping a normal height and varying diameters during the simulation. The examination focuses on carrying out a comparative evaluation of critical structural parameters, such as moment, maximum displacement, and maximum base shear. By means of analysing those parameters across various tank capacities, precious insights into the structural reaction of circular elevated water tanks under seismic loading conditions are gained. Those findings contribute to enhancing the design and overall performance of such structures, enhancing their resilience and protection in earthquake-susceptible regions.

In SCC, also called self-compacting concrete (SCC), voids are filled by its own weight, which prevents vibration. Large office building construction in Japan can significantly reduce noise levels on construction sites and associated environmental effects by implementing the use of SCC. According to the method, gravel makes up 50% of the concrete mix's packed density, while sand makes up 50% of mortar's packed density. Because gravel and sand are considered independently, SCC has a relatively high paste content. Thus, many SCC mixes are stronger than they should be. Recently, there has been a greater acceptance of the use of SCC. Concrete is a crucial and often utilised building material, hence attempts must be made to make it better by, for instance, constructing structures with enhanced mechanical and durability properties. The behaviour of concrete’s compressive strength and its splitting tensile strength is correlated. Analysis and experimental testing of self-compacting concrete (SCC) from different concrete classes were conducted. It was expected that both types of concrete would reach their desired compressive strengths of 25 N/mm2, 30 N/mm2, and 35 N/mm2 at 7, 14, and 28 days. Concrete sample measuring 150 mm in cube shape had their compressive and splitting tensile properties evaluated at 7, 14- and 28-days using compression testing apparatus.
