Earthquake and Behaviour of Stractures

Since the earthquakes are the most unpredictable and devastating of all natural disasters, it is very essential to identify the behavior of buildings, especially their torsional behavior during an earthquake. The proposed study made an attempt to realise the seismic response of buildings for different types of plan configurations (various locations of shear walls in an RC building having re-entrant corners) during a devastating earthquake (high seismic zone).
