Abstract-

In the framework of this project, an attempt was made to find out the influence of the shape, size and direction of the rectangular columns of the construction plan on the general stiffness and seismic response of the building suffering from the earthquake. A multistory RC building is modeled using ETABS software with different column shapes (square  and rectangular), column sizes (different cross-sectional area at building height), and column orientations to determine the effect of each  on the stiffness and seismic response of the building. . . The analytical results of each model were compared in terms of base movement, overburden displacement, layer deflection and time period.
