Analysis of RC Frame

Now a days an earthquakes are more affected on concrete structures have been severely damaged or collapsed. So there is a need of to evaluate the seismic adequacy. We can’t avoid the future earthquakes but we can manage or prepare the building to safe construction, and to reduce the extent damage and loss. For this to strengthen and to resist the lateral load on building for future earthquakes, some procedure are used. One of the procedure the non-linear static pushover analysis. Pushover analysis is used for the seismic assessment of structure. In the present study the RC frame is designed as per the IS 456:2000 and IS 1893:2002 and pushover analysis is carried out on unsymmetrical RC frame of 6 storied (G+5) with X bracing and without bracing. For analyzing RC frame under pushover analysis used the most common software SAP 2000 (Version 15).
