Comparative Study on Seismic Behavior of Regularand Irregular Building in Sloping Ground

Abstract

Abstract Building in steep and seismically active areas creates distinct challenges requiring an in-depth understanding of seismic irregularities and behavior. This study examines the seismic performance of buildings on sloping terrain, with a focus on areas such as Nepal. It takes into account a variety of configurations, including Step Back, Step Back Set Back, Split Foundation, and Split Foundation Set Back. Slope stability factors are assessed and soil-structure interaction (SSI) dynamics are integrated into the analysis of regular and irregular structures, including Plan Regular and Plan Irregular designs. The study uses ETABS v16.2.1 for non-linear time history analysis in order to investigate the impact of irregularities, the influence of SSI, and seismic responses. The outcomes show that flexible bases influence lateral movement and time periods by reducing base shear. The study intends to provide essential information for future seismic-resistant slopeside structures, directing resilient construction practices in challenging terrains.
