Effect of Lateral Loads on RCC Residential Building by Etabs According to BNBC 2017

Abstract

The lateral load effect on R.C.C. buildings has gotten a lot of attention for establishing specialized characteristics according to the BNBC 2017. ETABS is used to assess steel constructions, R.C.C Low and High Rise Residential Buildings, and other structures. The effects of lateral loads on R.C.C. residential buildings, particularly for L shapes, are explored. The influence of lateral loads on maximum storey displacement, maximum storey drift, and storey overturning moment is investigated. Following the structural analysis, these characteristics are compared with and without the effect of lateral loads. In this study, the maximum storey displacement increases as the number of storeys increases, with the exception of the stair roof, which increases due to lateral loads. However, without lateral load effects, maximum storey displacement does not rise linearly as storey increases. Maximum storey drift grows none linearly as storey increases in both scenarios, and maximum storey drift is found for the floor for the impacts of lateral stresses. Overturning moments rise non-linearly as the number of storeys increases, and the maximum moment is obtained for storey 2 in both cases.
