Seismic Performance Evaluation of Multistoried RCC Building with Oblique Column

Abstract: Exploring innovative structural solutions to enhance seismic resilience in buildings is critical in advancing the field of modern structural engineering. This research contributes to this endeavor by analyzing the role of inclined columns within frame systems and their potential to strengthen the earthquake resistance of structures. This study assesses how variations in column inclination, configuration, and quantity affect seismicbehaviour. This research utilized response spectrum analysis and evaluated key seismic performance indicators, including story displacement, inter-story drift, base shear. These results high light the effectiveness of inclined columns in mitigating seismic risks, underscoring the need for careful consideration of their configuration to optimize structural resilience and their potential as a retrofitting measure.When viewed from the outside, buildings that make a certain angle to the ground and whose floor plans are horizontally offset could be defined as inclinedform buildings. Although these buildings present unique design opportunities, they present considerable challenges. This research contributes to advancing structural engineering practices by offering insights into the integration of inclined columns for seismic design, suggesting a promising direction for future building standards and construction methodologies, and retrofitting alternatives.
