A Review on Seismic Performance Analysis of High Rise Building with Waffle Slabs Located in Irregular Pattern of Architectural Plan

EasyChair Preprint no. 7573

Abstract

Improvements of technology has resulted in drastic changes in the requirements in terms of the architectural appearance of residential and commercial buildings. In most of the cases, these types of customer requirements necessitate reviewing and restructuring the existing practices and methods in structural engineering. In addition, the existing methods of design and practices should be understood in depth to meet these requirements in a safe and serviceable manner.

In this research paper a G+15 story building considered, with waffle slab located in irregular pattern in its architectural plan in different stories. The structure will be modelled and analyzed in seismic zone IV using ETABS 2018 software, and dynamic analysis of the structure will be carried out using response spectrum analysis method. This will be done to find out of this structure’s response to combination of gravity and dynamic loads, and solutions will be provided to overcome the weak points in the structure’s body. The feasible solution will be implemented in the structure by re-modelling it in the software and showcase that the solution has helped the building to

Better resist the loads in spite of having waffle slabs irregularities in architectural plan composed of conventional slabs.

Keyphrases: dynamic analysis, Irregular position of waffle slab, Waffle slab
