A Study on Seismic Wave Impacts and Structural Response in Mid-Rise RCC Buildings: A Case-Based ETABS Analysis

This study investigates the seismic response of a G+8 reinforced concrete residential building located in India’s Zone III using ETABS software. The building is designed with earthquake-resistant features including shear walls, core walls, and moment-resisting frames, in accordance with IS 1893:2016 and IS 456:2000. Key structural parameters such as base shear, story displacement, and modal mass participation are analyzed. The results confirm that the structure satisfies seismic performance requirements with safe displacement limits and effective lateral load distribution. This case-based analysis highlights the significance of proper modeling and detailing in enhancing structural resilience against seismic impacts.
