1.2 STRUCTURAL MODELING
A three-dimensional mathematical model of the physical structure should be
used that represents the spatial distribution of the mass and stiffness of the structure to an
extent that is adequate for the calculation of the significant features of its dynamic response.
Thus, the essential requirements of the model is that, it should include the sufficient detail in
geometry, support, material, members, loading, strength, rigidity, stability etc. such that it
reflects the real and true prototype of a physical structure. In modeling, for the vertical loading
system, the deflection on the column in axial direction is so minimal that we can neglect it. It is
because of high rigidity of column in axial direction whereas in horizontal loading system, the
in-plane stiffness of floor is assumed to be very high compared to the stiffness of other frame
members in that plane. It is because of the presence of floor slab. Since, floor slab has very
high in-plane rigidity, the member like column, wall and braces connected to that plane are
assumed to move as a single unit in the lateral direction. This system is known as rigid floor
diaphragm in which beam is monolithically connected with slab providing negligible bending
in the vertical plane.
For the modeling of this building, ETABS 2017 software was used. ETABS 2017 is a
sophisticated, yet easy to use, special purpose analysis and design program developed
specifically for building systems. ETABS 2017 features an intuitive and powerful graphical
interface coupled with unmatched modeling, analytical, design, detailing procedure, powerful
numerical methods and many international design codes all integrated using a common
database. Although quick and easy for simple structures, ETABS 2017 can also handle the
largest and most complex building models, including the wide range of nonlinear behaviors,
making it the tool of choice for structural engineers in the building industry.
For the design of foundation, SAFE 2016 has been used. SAFE is the ultimate tool for
designing concrete floor and foundation systems. From framing layout all the way through to
detail drawing production, SAFE integrates every aspect of the engineering design process in
one easy and intuitive environment. SAFE provides unmatched benefits to the engineer with its
truly unique combination of power, comprehensive capabilities, and ease-of-use.

2.0 STRUCTURAL SYSTEM FOR THE BUILDINGS
The structural system chosen is Moment Resisting RCC Frames and Shear walls at
appropriate locations. Columns and beams have been laid out in plan in coordination with
architectural and services planning that acts jointly support and transmit to the ground those
forces arising from earthquake motions, gravity and live load. Its role becomes increasingly
important with the increase in building height. Thus, the vital criteria for structural systems
are an adequate reserve of strength against failure, adequate lateral stiffness, and an efficient
performance during the service life of the building. The determination of the structural forms
of a building involves the selection and arrangement of the major structural elements to resist
most efficiently the various combinations of gravity and horizontal loadings. The choice of
structural form is strongly influenced by the internal planning, the material and method of
construction, the external architectural treatment, the location and routing of service systems,
the nature and magnitude of the horizontal loading, and the height and proportion of the
building. With regard to horizontal loading, a high-rise building is essentially a vertical
cantilever. As height increases, the lateral force begins to dominate the structural systems and
becomes increasingly important in the overall building system. Strength, rigidity and stability
are the three main factors to consider in the design of all structures. For high-rise building,
rigidity and stability requirement are often the dominant factors in the design. The structural
system of the present building consists of a RC shear-walled framed structure. Shear-walled
frame systems resist the lateral load by a combined action of shear wall and rigid frames. A
shear wall deflects predominantly in a bending mode whereas a rigid frame bends in a shear
mode. As the structural elements are not free to deform independently, a considerable
horizontal interaction develops in the structural systems. The degree of interaction depends
on the relative stiffness of the walls and frames, and the height of the structure. The linear
sway of the moment frame, when combined with the parabolic sway of the shear wall results
in an enhanced stiffness because the wall is restrained by the frame at the upper levels while
at the lower levels the frame is restrained by the wall.

4.3 Dead Load
The dead load comprises of self-weight of the structure and loading due to finishes,
floorings, and non-structural walls etc. which are permanent in nature. The self-weight of the
structural elements such as beams, structural walls, columns and slabs is calculated
automatically in the ETABS model by defining the self-weight multiplier as 1. The
superimposed dead load applied either as area loads to slabs or as line loads to beams.

4.4 Seismic Load
4.4. 1 Seismic Coefficient Method
The Indian Standard IS 1893:2016 contains provisions for both the static analysis and
the dynamic analysis of buildings. Static analysis using equivalent lateral force procedure is
restricted to regular buildings having height less than 15 m in seismic Zone II. At the core of
seismic analysis is the use of response spectra plot as given in figure 2 of IS1893:2016, in
which the spectral acceleration is plotted for wide range of fundamental natural period of the
structures. For the static analysis, the static forces in the structure are derived from the design
seismic base shear (Vb) given by:
Where,
Z = Zone Factor = 0.36 as applicable for structures built in Zone V.
I = Importance factor for the buildings = 1.2.
R = Response Reduction factor = 5.
Sa/g = Average Response Acceleration Coefficient is taken for Soil Type-III
and 5% Damping
As per IS 1893:2016, Clause 7.6.2 the approximate fundamental natural period of vibration in
seconds of the building which is moment resisting frame is given by empirical expression
Ta = 0.075h0.75
Page | 9
4.4.2 Dynamic Analysis:
Response Spectrum method was chosen for the dynamic analysis as per IS 1893:2016,
Clause no. 7.7. The no. of mode shapes is taken to ensure that the sum total of modal masses of
all modes considered is at least 90% of the total seismic mass. The peak response quantities
have been combined as per CQC (Complete Quadratic Combination) in accordance with IS:
1893-2016 has been followed for modal combinations.

5.0 LOAD COMBINATIONS
The load combination has been taken as per IS 1893:2016. The load combinations
used in ETABS analysis are listed below.
Page | 12
6.0 ANALYSIS AND DESIGN PROCEDURE
Space frame analysis using ETABS 2017 software has been undertaken to obtain
refined results for all load combinations in accordance with Indian Standard Code.
The RCC design shall be based on IS: 456-2000 Code of practice for plain and
reinforced concrete, following Limit state philosophy. Structural design for typical members
has been done for the combination of loads that produces maximum stress in the structural
elements, and in turn requires maximum reinforcing steel provisions.
The design of Columns and Beams is done directly using ETABS 2017 design
software. The design of Slab is done by in house developed Worksheets in Excel. The size of
columns and beams are provided as per requirement. Footing design is directly done using
SAFE 2016.

8.0 DEFLECTION AND STOREY DRIFT
In order to control deflection of structural elements, the criteria given in the Clause
23.2 of IS 456:2000 is proposed to be used.
To control overall deformation due to earthquake load, the criteria given in clause
7.11 of IS1893:2016 is applied. The maximum deflection in any story due to the minimum
specified design lateral force, with partial load factor of 1.0 shall not exceed 0.004 times the
story height. Furthermore, the drift shall not exceed 0.004 in any case.
