Abstract

The RC-framed building is one of the most common construction techniques for seismic-resistant structures due to its ductile nature. But the seismic performance of the RC structure is affected by various factors among which site soil condition is vital. The sub-soil condition affects the time period of the structure which eventually impacts the earthquake force in the structure, thus making variations in seismic loadings. Although several studies have been performed and design elastic spectra have been defined as per soil types in the design codes, there are no studies quantifying the effect of design demand in the buildings due to variation of soil type in the context of Nepal and NBC 105:2020. Therefore, this study aims to present the variation in design demand for moderately high-rise RC buildings in different soil types. A representative sample building has been taken and analyzed in the Finite Element platform SAP 2000. Numerical analysis is performed using linear static and response spectrum methods. Based on the study, variation in the base shear, story displacement, inter-story drift, and section size to meet the limit state of strength are compared for soil types A, B, C, and D.
