Analysis and Design of Multistoried Building By Using Software For Different Earthquake Zones: A Review

This study synthesizes findings from various research on the seismic analysis of multi-story buildings. It highlights the crucial role of software tools like ETABS and STAAD-Pro in conducting static and dynamic analyses across different seismic zones and soil conditions. A key finding across multiple studies is the significant improvement in seismic performance achieved through the incorporation of shear walls, which effectively reduce storey drift and enhance base shear resistance in both regular and irregular building configurations. The analysis also underscores the vulnerability of irregular building plans to increased deformation and torsional effects during seismic events, advocating for symmetrical designs in high-risk zones. Furthermore, the importance of employing dynamic analysis methods, such as response spectrum and time history analysis, is emphasized for a comprehensive understanding of structural behavior under seismic loads. The influence of building height on seismic response parameters is also noted. Finally, the necessity of adhering to relevant seismic design codes from India (IS) and Bangladesh (BNBC) is highlighted to ensure the safety and stability of multi-story structures in earthquake-prone regions.
