PERFORMANCE BASED EVALUATION OF RCC BUILDING WITH DUAL SYSTEM

Abstract

Building performance is an indicator of how well a structure supports the defined needs of its users. Acceptable performance indicates acceptable (or tolerable) levels of damage or condition that allow uninterrupted facility operation. Consequently, performance-based design is the process or methodology used by design professionals to create buildings that protect functionality and the continued availability of services. In this Paper a 10 story building is designed using E-tabs software and a nonlinear static analysis is carried out using point plastic hinge model. The designed building was modelled and the hinges or possible failure locations were assigned. The stiffness of the building was increased due to the slab present and this was incorporated in the model using diaphragm. And finally the building is Evaluated as per its performance as per FEMA guidelines.
