Analysis and Design of Earthquake Resistance Building

TITLE	Analysis and Design of Earthquake Resistance Building
ABSTRACT	Earthquakes represent a major threat to structures, especially those lacking proper seismic design considerations. The primary goal of earthquake-resistant design is to ensure life safety by providing a ductile failure mechanism and preventing catastrophic collapse [1]. This paper provides a comprehensive review of major seismic analysis procedures such as the Equivalent Static Force Method, Modal Response Spectrum Method, and Dynamic Time-History Analysis. Modern codes increasingly favour dynamic analysis for multi-storey or irregular buildings, while static methods remain applicable for low-rise structures in low-seismic zones. Findings from various studies show that seismic loads generate significantly higher bending moments, shear forces, and inter-storey drifts than static loads, often exceeding allowable limits. This paper highlights modelling considerations, the importance of shear walls, capacity design concepts, and recent trends in performance-based seismic design.
