A Comparative Study of Regular and Irregular Shaped RC Building Using Software-Aid

Configuration is very much important for good seismic performance of the building. To makes the structure having good aesthetics and functionally effective, both shape and structural system must be sound enough. The wide range of the damages observed during past earthquakes across the world due to poor configuration. A building with simple geometry in plan has performed well during strong earthquake with compare to complex shape as symmetry is maintained. When irregular shapes are included in a building, a higher level of engineering efforts is required to make the structure good earthquake resistant. In these paper ill effects of irregularity which includes Time period, axial load, bending moment, her force, and torsion is reduced to remarkable extent by providing crumple section, which converts an irregular E-shape building into regular one. A building is analyzed having regular and irregular shape under the effect of earthquake loading by using latest software Aid. Analysis make possible to plan an irregular structure even in earthquake prone areas.
