A REVIEW ON COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF SEISMIC DESIGN OF TALL STRUCTURE USING IS AND EURO CODES

Abstract

In Reinforced building, frames are major parts since it opposes Shear force, bending moment,
torsion and furthermore subjected to variety of loads in which seismic loads are dominating.
Developing nations like India we need to adopt some standards. The BIS recommended IS 456:2000
and IS 1893(Part-1)2002 likewise European standard recommended EC2 and EC8 for Design of
concrete structures and Design of earthquake resi stant structures respectively. The study focuses on the
comparison of certain critical points: recurrence periods; seismic zonation & ground motion parameter
values; shape of the response spectrum; soil amplification; seismic force-resisting system; story drift
limits; procedures for seismic analysis. The response spectrum and seismic parameters of IS 1893
(part-1)2002 & EC8 were considered for the horizontal load action with different load combinations.
Response spectrum analysis and equivalent lateral force analysis were performed using “ETABS 2016”
software package. Different seismic codes determines distinctive parameters so that clearly, it’s
performance differs as per different codes. Hence, it is important to do comparison in order to assess
which building performs better. However, EC8 provisions were considered to be safer.
