Comparative Analysis Of Earthquake Resistant Design Of A (G+12) Storied Commercial Buildings IN Dhaka City Through Different Plan Configurations Using ETABS Software .

Abstract

The objective of this study was to the Comparative Analysis of Earth Quake Resistant Design of (G+12) Storied Commercial Buildings in Dhaka City through Different Plan Configurations Using ETABS Software. Structural designing of a building is the responsibility of a Civil Engineer. Engineer must keep in mind the economic, aesthetics, safety and other aspects of any project. As per requirement, structural design and analysis of a (G+12) storied residential building has been done by considering all types of gravitational and lateral load.3d nonlinear computer-aided analysis is done by using ETABS software (Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building System). The rapid urban growth is causing further deterioration and increasing the vulnerability of human lives, economy and infrastructures. When natural hazard like earthquake will hit this large metropolitan city, it may create catastrophe and the whole country may suffer. One of the major challenges is to reduce the vulnerability caused by earthquake by taking necessary steps. At the same time, it is very much essential to develop an effective earthquake risk management plan, which requires long-term plan of action and involves multidisciplinary contribution. Considering this situation this paper is about the comparative analysis of earthquake resistant design of a (G+12) storied commercial buildings in dhaka city through different plan configurations using ETABS software. The properties of beams and columns are used from BNBC-2020 in ETABS model. Building story flow results are compared for earthquake-resistant buildings.
