OPTIMUM POSITION OF OUTRIGGER SYSTEM FOR HIGH RAISED RC BUILDINGS USING ETABS 2013.1.5 (PUSH OVER ANALYSIS) Karthik.N.M 1, N.Jayaramappa 2 1 Assistant Professor, Dept. of Civil Engineering Chikka Muniyappa Reddy Institute of Technology (CMRIT), Bangalore, Karnataka, (India) 2 Assistant Professor, Dept. of Civil Engineering University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE), Bangalore, Karnataka, (India) ABSTRACT Pushover analysis is a non linear static analysis becoming a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures and used to determine the force-displacement relationship for a structural element. To evaluate the performance of RC frame structure, a non linear static pushover analysis has been conducted by using ETABS 9.13.5. To achieve this objective, eight RC frame structures with 30 stories 7X7bay, without and with outriggers at different stories were analyzed. Compression study of the base force and displacement of RC frame structure with 30 storie,s 7X7bay with outriggers at different stories. Keywords: ETABS 9.13.5, Outrigger System, Non Linear Static Analysis, Pushover Analysis. I. INTRODUCTION The design of tall and slender structures is controlled by three governing factors, strength (material capacity), stiffness (drift) and serviceability (motion perception and accelerations), produced by the action of lateral loading. The overall geometry of a building often dictates which factor governs the overall design. As a building becomes taller and more slender, drift considerations become more significant. Proportioning member efficiency based on maximum lateral displacement supersedes design based on allowable stress criteria. Innovative structural schemes are continuously being sought in the field. Structural Design of High Rise Structures with the intention of limiting the Drift due to Lateral Loads to acceptable limits without paying a high premium in steel tonnage. Various wind bracing techniques have been developed in this regard; one such is an Outrigger System, in which the axial stiffness of the peripheral columns is invoked for increasing the resistance to overturning moments. This efficient structural form consists of a central core, comprising either Braced Frames or Shear Walls, with horizontal cantilever trusses or girders known as outrigger Trusses, connecting the core to the outer columns. The core may be centrally located with outriggers extending on both sides (Fig.1.a) or it may be located on one side of the building with outriggers extending to the building columns on one side (Fig.1.b).

Analysis is carried out by using push over analysis. Pushover analysis is non linear static analysis in which provide capacity curve of the structure, it is a plot of total base force vs. roof displacement. The analysis is carried out up to failure; it helps determination of collapse load and ductility capacity of the structure. The pushover analysis is a method to observe the successive damage state of the building. In Pushover analysis structure is subjected to monotonically increasing lateral load until the peak response of the structure is obtained as shown in fig 2. In the present study push over analysis is carried out for all different type models, and then the minimum displacement among those models (analysis I) is taken in to account. That minimum displacement is applied to controlled displacement, and then the models are re analysed (analysis II) to find the maximum base shear for minimum displacement. Features at performance point are also noted. II. PUSHOVER ANALYSIS The purpose of pushover analysis is to evaluate the expected performance of structural systems by estimating performance of a structural system by estimating its strength and deformation demands in design earthquakes. The evaluation is based on an assessment of important performance parameters, including global drift, inter story drift, inelastic element deformations (either absolute or normalized with respect to a yield value),deformations between elements, and element connection forces (for elements and connections that cannot sustain inelastic deformations), The inelastic static pushover analysis can be viewed as a method for predicting seismic force and deformation demands, which accounts in an approximate manner for the redistribution of internal forces that no longer can be resisted within the elastic range of structural behavior. In pushover analysis after assigning all properties of the models, the displacement controlled pushover analysis of the models are carried out. The models are pushed in monotonically increasing order until target displacement is reached or structure loses equilibrium. The program includes several built-in default hinge properties that are based on average values from ATC-40 for concrete members and average values from FEMA- 273 for steel members. Locate the pushover hinges on model. ETABS provides hinge properties and recommends PMM hinges for columns and M3 hinges for beam as described in FEMA-356. Define pushover load cases. IN ETABS more than one pushover load case can be run in the same analysis. Locate the performance points and analysis details of structure at the point. 327 P a g e

CONCLUSION Graph 1 gives the pushover curve obtained for the RC bare frame and table 1a describes that the maximum base force is 58579.5711KN for a corresponding displacement of 3267.7mm. Graph 1 gives the results of displacement and base shear obtained for the analysis I of different positions of the out triggering system, table 1a and 1b describes that the minimum displacement is1040.6mm for corresponding base shear of 61531.50kN for an outrigger. Graph 9 gives the results of base shear obtained for controlled displacement of 1040.5mm of the analysis II of different positions of out triggering system. Table 9 describes the base shear of different position of outrigger system; the highest base shear of 62516.3765kN is obtained for out trigger at 20 th story. It is feasible to provide the Outrigger system at 20 th story for highest base shear, displacement of 1040.6mm. With reference to capacity demand curve values in table 10, the structure has the spectral acceleration (Sa) of 0.138m/s 2, spectral displacement (Sd) of 403.7mm for the Outriggers at 20 th story. The values obtained from capacity demand curve of outrigger system at 20 th story are within the permissible limits. REFERENCES [1] P.M.B. Raj Kiran Nanduri, B.Suresh, MD.
