Literature review
2.1 General

To design and evaluate the Reinforced Concrete (RC) building structures for precise results with
various loads is a wide and complex problem. Proper design of structure and valid results leads
to better life and performance of structure, under various load combinations. It is necessary to
carry out the most realistic definition of the structural capacity, in terms of strength and
deformability of the system under the effect of multiple loads.

(IJSRD - International Journal for Scientific Research & Development| Vol. 4,


Issue 07, 2016 | ISSN (online): 2321-0613) Structural analysis comprises the set of
physical laws and mathematics required to study and predicts the behavior of structures.
Structural analysis can be viewed more abstractly as a method to drive the engineering design
process or prove the soundness of a design without a dependence on directly testing it. To
perform an accurate analysis a structural engineer must determine such information as structural
loads, geometry, support conditions, and materials properties. The results of such an analysis
typically include support reactions, stresses and displacements. This information is then
compared to criteria that indicate the conditions of failure. Advanced structural analysis may
examine dynamic response, stability and non-linear behavior.

The aim of design is the achievement of an acceptable probability that structures being designed
will perform satisfactorily during their intended life. With an appropriate degree of safety, they
should sustain all the loads and deformations of normal construction and use and have adequate
durability and adequate resistance to the effects of seismic and wind. Structure and structural
elements shall normally be designed by Limit State Method. Account should be taken of
accepted theories, experiment and experience and the need to design for durability

Sesmic analysis

T. K. Datta (2010) in “Seismic Analysis of Structures”, have presented an overview of various


dynamic analysis procedures for use

in seismic design of structures. A discussion of the determination of the structural response to be


used in association with the

equivalent static force method and Response spectrum method is presented. Prashant Dhadve,
Alok Rao in Assessment of “P-Delta Effect on High Rise Buildings”. By increasing stiffness of
building by providing suitable cross section or by increasing stiffness building can bring within
acceptable limit. Richard dobs on has explained with a short introduction to the different
methods of PDelta analysis currently available in commercial software form. Donald G.
Newman in “Civil engineering license review,14 th edition” stated that the P-delta effects produce
secondary moments augmenting the sway moments in that story. If the ratio of secondary to
primary moments exceeds 0.1,the effects of the secondary moments should be included in the
analysis. S.K. Duggal in
