Building under Seismic Forces Considering Soil Structure Interaction- an Overviewwith Case Study Nawaraj Kapil, Karthik.N.M, Dr.Rajendra.S, Vijay.K, Likhitha.R P.G Student, Department of Civil Engineering, N.C.E.T, Bangalore, India. Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, C.M.R.I.T, Bangalore, India HOD(PG), Department of Civil Engineering, N.C.E.T,Bangalore, India Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, N.C.E.T, Bangalore, India Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, N.C.E.T, Bangalore, India ABSTRACT:Irrégularités are not avoidable in construction of Buildings, However the behaviour of structures with thèseirrégularités must be studied. Thèseirrégularités are responsible for structural collapse of Buildings under the action of dynamicloads. In thispaper, attempt has been made to study the seismic behaviour of the vertically irregular structure with and withoutsoil structure Interaction. The structure modelled have been alreadyconstructed and modelling was carried out using E-Tabs Software and analysed by ResponseSpectumAnalysis. KEYWORDS-Displacement, Storey Shear, Storey Drifts, Overturning Moment, Base Shear and Soil Structure Interaction. I. INTRODUCTION In Earthquake Resistance Design, a structure depends upon the inelastic behavior in order to resist the ground motion. Based on the current scenario, many structural Buildings have irregular configuration both in plan and elevation which leads to damage of the structure element, when hit by an earthquake. In such cases, we need to examine the structure against such disaster caused by the seismic waves. Irregularities cannot be avoided but the behaviour of the irregular structure must be studied properly. The structural building considered in this case study has been already constructed in hilly terrain-sikkim, which falls under seismic zone IV. II. STRUCTURAL IRREGULARITIES AS PER I.S 89(P): As per I.S 89(part):, The breakdown of the structure starts at the point of weakness or faults and this faults spring up due to varying load path with respect to mass, stiffness, strength and geometry of the structure, these discontinuity are termed as Irregular Structures. It is sub categorized into two types:. HORIZONTAL IRREGULARITIES:.aTorsion Irregularity: Torsional irregularity to be considered to exist when the maximum storey drift, computed with design eccentricity, at one end of the structures transverse\ to an axis is more than. times the average of the storey drifts at the two ends of the structure.bre-entrant Corners: Plan configurations of a structure and its lateral force resisting system contain re-entrant corners, where both projections of the structure beyond there-entrant corner are greater than percent of its plan dimension in the given direction.

Building under Seismic... cdiaphragm Discontinuity: Diaphragms with abrupt discontinuities or variations in stiffness, including those having cut-out or open areas greater than percent of the gross enclosed diaphragm area, or changes in effective diaphragm stiffness of more than percent from one storey to the next.. dout-of-plane Offsets: Discontinuities in a lateral force resistance path, such as out-of-plane offsets of vertical elements.. enon-parallel Systems: The vertical elements resisting the lateral force are not parallel to or symmetric about the major orthogonal axes or the lateral force resisting elements.. VERTICAL IRREGULARITIES:. astiffness Irregularity Soft Storey A soft storey is one in which the lateral stiffness is less than 7 percent of that in the storey above or less than 8 percent of the average lateral stiffness of the three storeys above.. bstiffness Irregularity Extreme Soft Store: A extreme soft storey is one in which the lateral stiffness is less than percent of that in the storey above or less than 7 percent of the average stiffness of the three storeys above. For example, buildings on STILTS will fall under this category.. cmass Irregularity: Mass irregularity shall be considered to exist where the seismic weight of any storey is more than percent of that of its adjacent storeys. The irregularity need not be considered in case of roofs.. dvertical Geometric Irregularity: Vertical geometric irregularity shall be considered to exist where the horizontal dimension of the lateral force resisting system in any storey is more than percent of that in its adjacent storey. ediscontinuity in Capacity Weak Storey: A weak storey is one in which the storey lateral strength is less than 8 percent of that in the storey above, The storey lateral strength is the total strength of all seismic force resisting elements sharing the storey shear in the considered direction. III. SOIL STRUCTURE INTERACTION Soil Structure Interaction can be defined as the coupling of the structure and the soil during an Earthquake. It is one of the most flourishing areas of research for structural engineer. SSI is influenced by two types of loading.i.e. Dynamic loading and static loading. Basically, engineers neglect SSI while designing ordinary structure as they evaluate the structure under the assumption of fixed based dynamic response. When the structure is hit by the seismic waves, these waves tend to generate vibrations or motion on the structure. In order to resist the motion, the structure needs to overcome its own inertia force which in result deals with SSI. There are two types of primary issues of soil structure interaction: Inertial Interaction. Kinematic Interaction. Manuscript id Page 9

When soil undergoes deformation and stress, they induce base shear and moments in the vibrating structure. Such cases lead to dynamic response of the structure by creating dynamic interacting system between soil and the structure. This type of interaction is known as Inertial Interaction. When seismic waves enter the soil, a discontinuity in medium of wave propagation is encountered at the interface of foundation and soil. This leads to reflection, scattering deflection, refraction of seismic waves at soil foundation interface along with change in nature of ground motion. Slippage occurs across the soil foundation interface which is affected by wave propagation in elastic medium. This phenomenon due to the wave propagation consideration is known as Kinematic Interaction. IV. STRUCTURAL DETAILING The structural building considered has been already constructed in Sikkim, India. It is vertically irregular in nature and comprises of B- and G+. The total area comprises of 8.m x.9 m. The soil condition of the structure is dense gravel soil with soil bearing capacity of 8 kn/m. The grade of concrete used is M and grade of steel is Fe. The loads considered are: Dead load of kn/m, Live Loads of kn/m, kn/m and kn/m respectively. The frame Loads provided were of kn/m as exterior wall load and.8 kn/m as partition wall load. The structure was modeled and response spectrum analysis was carried out using E-tabs software. The same structure was analyzed considering soil structure interaction for X and Y direction respectively.

The seismic weight and base shear of the structure are shown in Table 7 and Table 8 respectively. The parameters considered such as Displacement and Story Shear was calculated and compared considering with and without soil structure interaction for both X and Y direction respectively.
