Seismic analysis of RC building with shear wall on sloping ground

Now days, rapid construction is taking place in hilly areas due to scarcity of plain ground. The Buildings located in hilly areas are much more affected by seismic environment in comparison to the buildings that are located in flat regions. Structures on slopes differ from other buildings since they are irregular in both vertically and horizontally, and torsional coupled. Hence, they are susceptible to severe damage when subjected to seismic action. Due to sloping ground columns of ground storey have different height of columns. In this study, the analysis of G+7 storey building frame with and without shear wall at different slopes of ground as 10°, 15°, 30° and 45° are studied. Analysis have been done using structural analysis tool STAAD Pro v8i. Using the analysis results various parameter has been taken for the comparison. The maximum deflection, axial force, shear force, bending moment and base shear are critically analyzed to quantify the effects of various sloping ground.
