Study & Analysis of G+10 Building in M25grade Concrete for Earthquake & Wind Resistance

Abstract

The present study focuses on the structural analysis and design of a G+10 (Ground plus Ten stories) reinforced concrete building using M25 grade concrete, with particular emphasis on its performance under seismic and wind loads. In high-rise structures, lateral forces due to earthquakes and wind play a crucial role in the overall stability and safety of the building. This research aims to evaluate the structural behavior of a multi-storey building located in a seismically active region, ensuring compliance with IS codes such as IS 1893:2016 for earthquake load and IS 875 (Part 3):2015 for wind load analysis.The building model is analyzed using finite element software (e.g., ETABS or STAAD Pro) considering load combinations, material properties, and boundary conditions as per relevant standards. The study incorporates dynamic analysis methods, including Response Spectrum Analysis and Wind Load Analysis, to determine the building’s response under lateral loading conditions. Key parameters such as story drift, base shear, displacement, and bending moments are examined to ensure that the structure performs within permissible limits.The results reveal the critical elements and stories that are most affected by lateral forces, offering insights for design optimization. The study concludes with recommendations for improving earthquake and wind resistance in similar high-rise concrete structures through design detailing, material selection, and structural configuration.
