ABSTRACT:
In the present paper, a comparative study of seismic coefficient method and response spectrum method using
STAAD software with IS1893 (Part1:2002). For these purpose three different storey buildings having plan
areas 100, 200 and 300m2are analyzed using STAAD software and the results obtained are compared using
seismic coefficient method & response spectrum method mentioned in IS 1893:2002. It is important to note
that the study is conducted for variation in geometrical properties of building but the seismic properties for all
these buildings is same. The buildings are located in zone IV region. The results obtained for base shear and
other design parameters obtained from STAAD software match with IS1893:2002. The value of base shear
obtained by seismic coefficient method and response spectrum method was also compared. In addition to this
lateral force distribution obtained from SCM and RSM are also compared. After analysis these buildings are
also designed for the results obtained from seismic coefficient method and response spectrum method. The
percentage variation in concrete and steel consumption by the two methods is also studied.

Keywords: Response spectrum method, seismic coefficient method, STAAD software, base shear.
Structures constructed in seismically active areas are subjected to the risk from earthquakes. The degree of
seismic protection and level of acceptable structural damage depend on many design consideration. Generally
accepted seismic design philosophy requires that the structure should be able to resist minor earthquakes without
damage but with possibility of some non structural damage and resist major earthquakes without collapse, but
may suffer some structural and non structural damage. Research efforts are being made to understand
earthquake loading properly and to make structural analysis more and more refined. With the availability of
computing machines, analysis and design of structures is being done using computer software. For a framed
building, modeling comprises of beams and columns along with the loads applied and boundary condition.
Usually, in computer oriented structural analysis, three-dimensional models of buildings are used. After
achieving a reasonably good structural model, next stage is to use appropriate analysis method to obtain seismic
response.
In India, IS 1893(Part 1): 2002, is used to calculate earthquake loads on the
structures. In this Indian Standard, three methods of analysis are given. In the first method, which is used for
most of the buildings, static earthquake loads are obtained at each floor of building using empirical time period.
This method is termed as Equivalent Static Analysis (ESA) or Seismic Coefficient Method (SCM); it is very
easy to use and is based on empirical time period and empirical distribution of earthquake loads on each floor
along the height of the building. Next method given in IS 1893 is Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA), wherein,
from the structural model of building, natural frequencies and natural modes are obtained. For this purpose, free
vibration analysis is performed, wherein mass of structure is to be properly modeled. The mass of slab and mass
corresponding to appropriate amount of imposed load are considered along with the mass of beam and column.
Using natural frequencies and mode shapes, static earthquake loads and response in each mode are obtained.
These modal responses are combined using any one modal combination rules, i.e. Sum of Square Root of
Squares (SRSS), Combined Quadratic Combination (CQC) and Absolute Sum (ABS). The third method given
in IS 1893 is Time History Analysis (THA). In the time history analysis (THA), dynamic response is obtained
by using either modal superposition method or numerical integration method. Here time history of ground
acceleration is used and dynamic response in the form of time history of response is obtained. It is to be noted
that if modal superposition method is used to obtain dynamic response, then modal responses are combined
using algebraic sum.

RSA uses modal quantities such as modal frequencies, modal mass etc. Response spectrum is
more rigorous than equivalent static analysis. Due to combination of modes by different methods one can get
good results while performing response spectrum analysis. In the RSA also static loads are calculated, which are
obtained using modal properties of structure. The modal combination rules have a very peculiar property i.e. in
these combinations; sign of modal response is lost. The modal combination rules, wherein maximum modal
responses are considered are used only in RSA.
The present study discusses comparative study between seismic coefficient
and response spectrum method as per IS 1893:2002 is presented. STAAD software is used for numerical study.
For comparison of the seismic methods of G+3, G+5 and G+7 buildings having plan area 100, 200 and 300m2
are modeled and analyzed using STAAD. As per Indian code (IS 1893:2002) earthquake zones are classified
into four zones namely II, III, IV and V. In the present study the geometrical properties of building are varied
but the seismic properties for all these buildings are same. The buildings are located in zone IV region.
Moreover the results are further compared with the different methods used for analysis. The results obtained for
base shear and other design parameters obtained from STAAD software match with IS1893:2002. The value of
base shear obtained by seismic coefficient method and response spectrum method was also compared. After
obtaining the analysis results, the buildings are designed for its structural components. And a comparative study
of the design results obtained by these two methods is also explained.
2. MODELING IN STAAD:
IJE

STAAD is powerful design software licensed by Bentley. Staad stands for structural analysis and
design. Any object which is stable under a given loading can be considered as structure. So first find
the outline of the structure, where as analysis is the estimation of what are the type of loads that acts
on the beam and calculation of shear force and bending moment comes under analysis stage. Design
phase is designing the type of materials and its dimensions to resist the load. This we do after the
analysis. To calculate S.F.D and B.M.D of a complex loading beam it takes about an hour. So when it
comes into the building with several members it will take a week. STAAD pro is a very powerful tool
which does this job in just few minutes. STAAD is a best alternative for high rise buildings. To
perform dynamic analysis in STAAD following steps must be followed:
i. Geometric Modeling
ii. Sectional Properties
iii. Material Properties
iv. Supports : Boundary Conditions
v. Loads & Load combinations (Dynamic)
vi. Special Commands
vii. Analysis Specification
viii. Design command
Geometric Modeling
To model any structure in STAAD the first step is to specify the nodal co-ordinate data followed by
selection of elements from element library. For the present work beam elements are selected to model
the structure.
Sectional & Material Properties
The element selected for modeling is then assigned the properties if the element is beam the cross
section of beam is assigned. For plate elements thickness is assigned. After assigning the sectional
property to the member it is important to assign it with member properties. Material properties include
modulus of elasticity, poissons ratio; weight density, thermal coefficient, damping ratio and shear
modulus

Dead loads consist of the permanent construction material loads compressing the roof, floor, wall, and
foundation systems, including claddings, finishes and fixed equipment. In the study following loads
are taken under dead load. Figure1 shows the dead load assigned to G+3 building in STAAD.
Slab Weight
Loads on beams of walls
Slab Weight Calculation:
Thickness of slab=0.15m
Density of concrete= 25kN/m3
Self Weight of slab= Density of concrete x Thickness of slab
= 25x0.15
= 3.75kN/m2
Floor Finish at floor level = 1 kN/m2
Water Proofing at Terrace =2 kN/m2
Total Slab Weight at floor level= 4.75 kN/m2
Total Slab Weight at terrace = 5.75 kN/m2

In addition to the above mentioned loads some generated loads are also applied to the structure in
STAAD. The generated load cases assigned to the structure are as follows:
1. Wind Load
2. Seismic Co-efficient Method
3. Repetitive Moving Load
In the present work only seismic load is assigned to the structure. In addition to this dynamic loads are
assigned to the structure in form of Response Spectrum. STAAD also uses IS 1893 2002 (Part 1)
parameters mentioned below to evaluate seismic output parameters in form of design seismic
coefficient, base shear storey shear and mass participation factor.
1. Seismic Zone Coefficient
2. Response Reduction Factor
3. Importance Factor
4. Soil Site Factor
5. Type of Structure
6. Damping Ratio (obtain Multiplication Factor for Sa/g)
7. Depth of Foundation below Ground Level
