IRJET - A Study on Behaviour of RCC Structures for Near and Far Field Earthquake with Different Soil Type

The document presents the results of a study analyzing the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures located in different soil types and subjected to near-field and far-field earthquakes. 18 models of RC special moment resisting frames with G+8, G+10 and G+12 stories were analyzed using time-history analysis in ETABS. Story displacements, drifts, forces and accelerations were compared for structures in hard, medium and soft soils under near-field and far-field ground motions. In near-field shaking, soft soil led to higher displacements than other soils. In far-field shaking, medium soil produced higher displacements than hard or soft soils. Displacements generally decreased with stiffer soil
