Comparative Study of Linear Static and Linear Dynamic Method of Seismic Analysis of RCC Multistoried Building Using ETABS

As the modern buildings have been getting taller and narrower than before, the structural engineers have to perform both static and dynamic analysis for seismic loads that may affect on structures in order to make sure of the safety verifications and the optimal design requirements. Reinforced concrete (RC) building frames are the most common types of constructions in urban India. Throughout their lifetime, these are subjected to various types of forces such as static forces due to dead loads, live loads and dynamic forces due to earthquakes. In the present study, one tall RCC building of 10 stories is assumed to be situated in seismic zone 4 is analyzed using two different methods i.e., Equivalent static method (static) and response spectrum method (dynamic), using ETABS software. From analysis, the parameters like storey displacement, storey drift, base shear and time period and frequency are determined and also comparative study is done for both the methods Keywords: {RCC Buildings, Equivalent static method, response spectrum method, storey displacement, storey drift, Base shear, time period.}
