ABSTRACT

Recent economic progress and growing urbanization have stimulated the real estate market in hilly regions. The human density in the mountainous region has soared as a result. Flat terrain in mountainous regions is ideal for building using clay burned tile, engineering works, or polished concrete blocks. In rough location where flat land is in short supply, developers increasingly resort to sloping terrain to accommodate the rising demand for residential and commercial space. Because there is no other way to meet the growing demand for homes and businesses, we will force developers to build multi-storey R.C. frame buildings on the sides of hills.

Most structures in mountainous regions must adopt a step back or step back and set a back plan to adhere to the environment. During earthquakes, the structure bends and receives more shear due to the varying column heights. We apply the response spectrum method for the dynamic analysis of the set-back construction frames. We have studied the dynamic response of buildings of different heights, including the introductory period, story displacement, and base shear action in columns. According to this data, set-back building frames perform better than standard step-back building frames. As opposed to set-back building frames, the performance of step-back building frames may be enhanced by adding bracing at critical spots. This study, we used ETABS 2013 to explore the effect of bracing on high-rise RC structures situated in diverse seismic zones (Z-II & V) and soil types (S-I, II, III).
