Seismic Performance Evaluation of Model of G+7 CRC Framed Structure

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Model of G+7 CRC Framed Structure

  • Analysis of the G+7 CRC framed structure for the seismic load as per IS code
  • To evaluate the seismic performance of model of a G+7 framed structure for a ground motion compatible to Zone-V spectrum
  • Study of the damage pattern and suggestion for improvement
