ABSTRACT
Objective: In the present work G+10 storied RCC building is consider for analysis
purpose. Method analysis: The main purpose of this work is to analyze the seismic
behavior of RCC structures in different seismic zones i.e. (II, III, IV and V). In the each
zone different floor heights are considered (10 buildings for each zone). The total analysis
is carried out in the STAAD. Pro software for Gravity and lateral loads (seismic).
Findings: By analyzing all these buildings the data base is prepared for worst load
combination. The results are compared with corresponding zones and structural elements
are designed for worst load combinations as per the Indian standards. The present study
is to investigate the behavior of multi storied RCC plane frames considering storey drift and
foundation pressure. Applications: The study is to investigate the behavior of multi storied
RCC plane frames considering storey drift ands foundation pressure, seismic zones,
STAAD. Pro, gravity load, lateral load (seismic), RCC building, different building height.
Key words: Seismic Zones. STAAD. Pro, Gravity, Seismic and Lateral Loads, RCC
Building.

1. INTRODUCTION
An earthquake is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth, which can be violent enough
to destroy major buildings and kill thousands of people. Reinforcement concrete structure has
many elements to be taken under consideration for safety parameters. The severity of the shaking
can range from barely felt to violent enough to toss people around. Earthquakes have destroyed
whole cities. They result from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic
waves. The seismicity, seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and
size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time1. Reinforcing schemes are generally
designed to resist tensile stresses in particular regions of the concrete that might cause
unacceptable cracking and/or structural failure. Architecture Institute of Japan, AIJ 1999
Reinforced concrete may also be permanently stressed (in compression), so as to improve the
behavior of the final structure under working loads2.
In the United States, the most common methods of doing this are known as pre-tensioning
and post-tensioning. Seismic loading is one of the basic concepts of earthquake engineering which
means application of an earthquake -generated agitation to structure3. Mohsen Javanpour
Structural Engineer, Islamic Azad University it happens at contact surfaces of a structure either
with the ground or with adjacent structures, or with gravity waves from tsunami4.
This work is carried out for G+ 10 structures and designed manually for the different loads
acting on it which shows the limits to be executed while constructing a structure. After designing
analysis was carried in STAADpro5. For different loads acting on the structure. Concept was to
analyze the multi storey structure for different heights and seismic effect on particular height
respectively. One of the main objectives is to ensure the safety of the structure with clear heights
and maximum limit can be considered for a multi storey structure. The analysis was carried out
zone wise with different heights.

2. METHODOLOGY
In this present study G+10 R.C.C structure is considered for different storey heights and different
seismic zones. The structure is modeled and analyzed by using STAAD. Pro, shown in Figure 1.

3. LOAD CALCULATIONS
Dead load (gravity loads)
Dead loads are static forces that are relatively constant for an extended time. The dead load
includes loads that are relatively constant over time, including the weight of the structure itself,
and immovable fixtures such as walls, plasterboard or carpet. The roof is also a dead load.
Dead loads are also known as permanent or static loads.
External wall load=0.23x2.7x25=16.33 kN/m
Internal wall load=0.115x2.7x25=8.52 kN/m
Parapet wall load=0.115x25=3.0 kN/m
Slab load=0.12x25=5.25 kN/m

Live load
By considering a RC structure of G+10 lateral loads are introduced in certain zones by using a
code IS: 875 PART II for live load and PART I for dead load
Two way slab load =2 kN/m
One way slab load=3 kN/m
For zone II 10 buildings are analyzed with different zones

Seismic load
The design horizontal seismic coefficient Ah for a structure shall be determined by the following
expression:

Where
Z = Zone factor for the Maximum Considering Earthquake (MCE) and service life of structure in
a zone.
I= Importance factor according to the historic parameter.
R=Response reduction factor,
Sa /g =Average response acceleration coefficient.
The structural safety of building is most important aspect for designing engineer. In the present
work G+10 storied RCC building is consider for analysis purpose. The main purpose of this work
is to analyze the seismic behavior of RCC structures in different seismic zones i.e. (II, III, IV and
V). In the each zone different floor heights are considered (10 buildings for each zone)

4. CONCLUSIONS
The maximum storey drift is more in building no4 when compaerd to the othr buildings of storey
drift. Compared to all four zones foundation pressure is maximum in zone V.The heighest
foundation pressure is 18.42N/mm2 Table.11.

5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
