Earthquake Resistance and Design of Buildings
Keywords:
Earthquake, Buildings, ResistanceAbstract
The abstract of the project is to structurally analyze and design an earthquake resistant multistoreyed building. During the execution of the project, we have acquired knowledge and skill to emphasis on practical application besides the utilization of analytical methods and design approaches, exposure and application of various available codes of practices. In the present context, in a developing city like Kathmandu, there is land crisis due to increasing population so as an engineer it will be challenging for us to minimize it. This can be solved upto some extent by designing/constructing high rise multistoreyed building for commercial, residential purposes, etc. Also our country lies in an earthquake prone area which may lead to loss of life and property which can be counteracted by seismic design of building.
