A Review on Seismic Response of RC Building on Sloping Ground

Seismic analysis is the calculation of the response of a structure to earthquakes. It is part of the process of structural design, earthquake engineering or structural assessment and retrofit in regions where earthquakes are prevalent. The aim of this paper to study the response of RC structure on slopping ground. To evaluate the response of building by using linear analysis and non linear analysis. The analysis will be carried out on SAP 2000 with help of guidelines following code I.S 1893:2002 (part I), FEMA 356. The seismic response on sloping ground is quite different as compare to seismic response on plain ground. In RC structure design we do not consider the effect of infiil wall on structure during earthquake. In addition to this infill walls have a considerable strength and stiffness and they have significant effect on the seismic response of the structural system. Necessity of analysis the seismic response of RC building on sloping ground because Lack of timely revisions of codes of practice and standards. Hill buildings are different from those in plains; they are very irregular and unsymmetrical in horizontal and vertical planes, and torsionally coupled. Due to the varied configurations of buildings in hilly areas, these buildings become highly irregular and asymmetric, due to variation in mass and stiffness distributions on different vertical axis at each floor. Such construction in seismically prone areas makes them exposed to greater shears and torsion as compared to conventional construction.
