Analysis and Study the Behaviour of High Rise Residential Building in Different Soil Conditions of Seismic Zone 4

Soil is one of the important factors to be considered in structural engineering. The soil properties affect the structures to a great extent. Before any structural design it is must to analyse the behaviour of soil. In this study three symmetrical building models (G+25) of structure dimension 15×15 metres are analysed. These models are designed for seismic zone IV. Software used for analysis is STAAD Pro v8i. Height of each floor is 3 metres. These models are having different seismic responses for different soil types. Analysis of these models indicates that hard soil is more supportive for high rise buildings. Storey drift and lateral displacement are analysed along Z direction. Soft soil has shown maximum storey lateral displacement and maximum storey drift both. Maximum base shear shown by soft soil is 281.694 kN and for hard soil it is 132.739 kN.
