Abstract
Earthquake engineering utilizes equivalent lateral forces to design structures capable of withstanding seismic events. In India's seismically active regions, the impact of seismic waves on the Earth's movement underscores the necessity for earthquake-resistant structures. This research delves into the seismic performance of multi-story reinforced concrete building frames, considering diverse loading conditions, varying soil types, and seismic zones III and IV. The analysis encompasses seismic responses like base shear, shear force, bending moment, axial load, and story displacement for an 11-story building. The study explores the influence of soil variations within seismic zones III and IV, as well as the effects of different seismic zones on the building's response. Both time history analysis and response spectrum analysis techniques were utilized to assess the building's natural time periods. These findings offer valuable insights into the intricate relationship between soil type, seismic zone, and structural behavior.
