Abstract -

This study focuses on the analysis and design of RCC multi-storeyed G+14 framed buildings with both regular and irregular plans, using STAAD Pro software. The objective is to model and analyze the buildings under seismic loads through equivalent static analysis. Key areas of study include the comparison of regular and irregular building configurations and the impact of shear walls on seismic performance. The research investigates the structural behavior, including displacement, stress distribution, and stability of buildings subjected to lateral seismic loads, with a focus on buildings with and without shear walls. The findings reveal significant differences in the structural responses between the two configurations, highlighting the importance of shear walls in improving seismic resistance. The study concludes that shear walls enhance the structural integrity and reduce lateral displacements, providing recommendations for designing safer buildings in seismic zones. The research aims to offer valuable insights for effective design strategies to ensure safety and minimize seismic damage in multi-storeyed RCC buildings.
