Earthquake Analysis of High Rise Building with and Without In filled Walls
Wakchaure M.R, Ped S. P
Abstract: - The effect of masonry infill panel on the response of RC frames subjected to seismic action is widely recognized and has been subject of numerous experimental investigations, while several attempts to model it analytically have been reported. In analytically analysis infill walls are modeled as equivalent strut approach there are various formulae derived by research scholars and scientist for width of strut and modelling. Infill behaves like compression strut between column and beam and compression forces are transferred from one node to another. In this study the effect of masonry walls on high rise building is studied. Linear dynamic analysis on high rise building with different arrangement is carried out. For the analysis G+9 R.C.C. framed building is modelled. Earthquake time history is applied to the models. The width of strut is calculated by using equivalent strut method. Various cases of analysis are taken. All analysis is carried out by software ETABS. Base shear, storey displacement, story drift is calculated and compared for all models. The results show that infill walls reduce displacements, time period and increases base shear. So it is essential to consider the effect of masonry infill for the seismic evaluation of moment resisting reinforced concrete frame. Key words - In Filled Walls, High-Rise Building, and Equivalent Strut, Linear Dynamics Analysis, Displacement.

I. INTRODUCTION It has always been a human aspiration to create taller and taller structures. Development of metro cities in India there is increasing demand in High Rise Building. The reinforced cement concrete moment resisting frames in filled with unreinforced brick masonry walls are very common in India and in other developing countries. Masonry is a commonly used construction material in the world for reason that includes accessibility, functionality, and cost. The primary function of masonry is either to protect inside of the structure from the environment or to divide inside spaces. Normally considered as architectural elements. Engineers often neglect their presence. Because of complexity of the problem, their interaction with the bounding frame is often neglected in the analysis of building structures. When masonry in fills are considered to interact with their surrounding frames, the lateral load capacity of the structure largely increases. This assumption may lead to an important inaccuracy in predicting the response of the structure. This occurs especially when subjected to lateral loading. Role of infills in altering the behavior of moment resisting frames and their participation in the transfer of loads has been established by decades of research. The survey of buildings damaged in earthquakes further reinforces this understanding. The positive aspects of the presence of

infills are higher strength and higher stiffness of the infilled frames. Never the less, it may not be appropriate to neglect their presence and declare the resulting design as conservative. Observed infill induced damage in buildings in the past earthquakes exposes the shortcomings of the current bare frame approach. In high rise buildings, the ordinarily occurring vertical loads, dead or live, do not pose much of a problem, but the lateral loads due to wind or earthquake tremors are a matter of great concern and need special consideration in the design of buildings. These lateral forces can produce the critical stress in a structure, set up undesirable vibrations and in addition, cause lateral sway of the structure which can reach a stage of discomfort to the occupants. In many countries situated in seismic regions, reinforced concrete frames are in filled fully or partially by brick masonry panels with or without openings. Although the infill panels significantly enhance both the stiffness and strength of the frame, their contribution is often not taken into account because of the lack of knowledge of the composite behavior of the frame and the infill. Infill wall can be modelled in several forms such as, equivalent diagonal strut approach and finite element method etc. For new buildings, infill wall is modelled and designed to provide high rigidity. Also older buildings are rehabilitated with infills that are compatible with the original frame work. Studies found that infill fails in two main ways; Shear failure and Corner crushing. The variability of the mechanical properties of infill panels, depending on both the mechanical properties of their materials and the construction details, introduces difficulty in predicting the behavior of infill panels. Additionally, the overall geometry of the structure i.e. number of bays and stories, aspect ratio of infill panels, and the detailing of the reinforced concrete members are aspects that should be considered. The location and the dimensions of openings play also an important role in the evaluation of the strength and stiffness of the infill panels. Despite the aforementioned cases of undesired structural behavior, field experience, analytical and experimental research have demonstrated that the beneficial contribution of the infill walls to the overall seismic performance of the building, especially when the latter exhibits limited engineering seismic resistance. In fact, infill panels through their in-plane horizontal stiffness and strength decrease the storey drift demands and increase the storey lateral force resistance respectively, while their contribution to the global energy dissipation capacity is significant, always under the assumption that they are effectively confined by the surrounding frame.

Problem Formulation and Validation 1 .Problem Formulation: In the analysis work two models of R.C.C. High Rise building G+9 floors are made to know the realistic behavior of building during earthquake. The length of the building is 17.01m and width is 11.96m. Height of typical story is 3m. Building is located in third zone. Shear wall is provided at the end of the building to resist the earthquake as well as wind forces. Building is designed as per IS 456-2000[17].

Use of masonry infill walls located in between the columns of reinforced concrete framed structures plays a major role in the damage and collapse of buildings during strong earthquakes. Modelling of infill wall can be done by finite element method or static equivalent strut approach in this study later type modeling is done. 4 .FEMA Approach: In this type of modelling stiffness of wall is considered in plane of loading. For infill wall located in a lateral load resisting frame the stiffness and strength contribution of the infill are considered by modelling the infill as an equivalent strut approach given by FEMA- 356[18] as below Width of strut is given by -0.4 a=0.175 1hcol 1= rinf
