Performance Evaluation of RCC Structure on Sloping Ground Under Wind Action Through ETAB Analysis

  From the analysis of the multistorey RCC buildings subjected to wind and seismic loads, it can be concluded that the structural configuration and building height significantly influence the lateral performance of the structure. The study evaluated parameters such as storey displacement, storey drift, and storey shear for different building configurations from G+4 to G+10. The results show that storey displacement increases with the increase in building height, with the maximum displacement observed at the top storeys. Similarly, storey drift is more significant in the middle storeys, while storey shear is highest at the lower storeys and base because they carry the cumulative lateral loads from the upper floors. The comparison of results indicates that structures with better frame configuration and higher stiffness exhibit lower displacement and drift values, resulting in improved structural stability. Proper structural design and optimization help in efficient load distribution and better resistance to wind and seismic forces. Therefore, it can be concluded that structural optimization and appropriate geometric configuration are essential for enhancing the safety, stability, and overall performance of multistorey buildings under lateral loading conditions.
