DESIGN OF SEISMIC RESISTANT RESIDENTIAL BUILDING USING STAAD.PRO.

Abstract

Earthquakes may produce casualty of different forms in different magnitudes which vary from the case force majeure, fatalities and physical damages of buildings (ranging from minor damage to leveled structures), and a long list of others such as liquefaction. The secondary effects including fire, blocking s of water / electric power / transport services and communication cut are more devastating yet. Humanbuilt structures are nonetheless the primary cause of death in earthquakes. So they have to be well designed and made. It is therefore highly necessary to establish new technologies which prevent those losses. Hence, we began to investigate these new methods and enhance our knowledge and be informed about these recent techniques, and their application, in order to minimize earthquake effects on our structures during daily life. This study looks at the basic theories and methods adapted for reducing seismic vulnerability of buildings in order to preserve human lives. It focuses on the role of seismic risk assessment, design standards, structural systems and mitigation solutions in minimizing the risk of earthquake damage. We want to make a building in this seismic area (where our site is located) with material that are resistance from seismic earthquakes. Every area we are in has different intensities and we’re going to gather all the data available relative to our site about soil type, seismic intensity, seismic history, and then make our decision. The ultimate objective is to design STAAD based Seismic resistant structure. Pro software. We are going to get there in stages. STAAD. Pro is one of the main applications in our project, in STAAD. Pro I am looking to design and analyze the structure, in respect of seismic loads and reaction. It is more useful for us to design our building against seismic resistant residential house.
