Design of a Six Storied Residential Building and Column Comparison in Between Seismic Zone -1 and Zone -3 in Bangladesh

Abstract

In this study, we designed a six storied residential building considering later force. And we made column comparison between two seismic zones in Bangladesh. The basic methodology adopted here is the sequential presentation of analysis &design all force of six storied building for earthquake and wind effect by UBC1994, BNBC, ACI, and code 318R-05 code proposed places in Bangladesh. For this purpose Mymensingh (zone -3) and Khulna (zone-1) have been selected. Data & Figure are presented wherever felt necessary in reader friendly way. Analysis and design has been performed with ETABS. An upper structure has been designed for a six storied building in Mymensingh (zone-3). After the analysis, we compared the Column Rebar Percentages and Base Shear with a building in Khulna (zone-1) which also resembles identical structure. The result from the comparison shows us that, the Mymensingh (zone-3) needs more 7.40% Column Rebar Percentage and 10.42% Base Shear than the Khulna (zone-1). Mainly it is because of later force variation.
