Research Paper
In the present paper study of nonlinear dynamic analysis of Ten storied RCC building considering
different seismic intensities is carried out and seismic responses of such building are studied.
The building under consideration is modeled with the help of SAP2000-15 software. Five different
time histories have been used considering seismic intensities V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X on Modified
Mercalli's Intensity scale (MMI) for establishment of relationship between seismic intensities
and seismic responses. The results of the study shows similar variations pattern in Seismic
responses such as base shear and storey displacements with intensities V to X. From the
study it is recommended that analysis of multistoried RCC building using Time History method
becomes necessary to ensure safety against earthquake force.

INTRODUCTION
All over world, there is high demand for
construction of tall buildings due to increasing
urbanization and spiraling population, and
earthquakes have the potential for causing the
greatest damages to those tall structures.
Since earthquake forces are random in nature
and unpredictable, the engineering tools need
to be sharpened for analyzing structures under
the action of these forces. Earthquake loads
are required to be carefully modeled so as to
assess the real behavior of structure with a
clear understanding that damage is expected

OBJECTIVES
1. To analyze a multistoried RC framed
building (10 Storey) for available
earthquake time histories considering
different earthquake intensities (i.e., V, VI,
VII, VIII, IX and X).
SEISMIC ANALYSIS
For the determination of seismic responses
there is necessary to carry out seismic analysis
of structure. The analysis can be performed
on the basis of external action, the behavior of
structure or structural materials, and the type
of structural model selected. Based on the type
of external action and behavior of structure, the
analysis can be further classified as: (1) Linear

STRUCTURAL MODELING
AND ANALYSIS
The finite element analysis software SAP 2000
Nonlinear is utilized to create 3D model and
run all analyses. The software is able to predict
the geometric nonlinear behavior of space
frames under static or dynamic loadings,
taking into account both geometric nonlinearity
and material inelasticity.
