Seismic Analysis and Performance Assessment of Earthquake-Resistant Buildings

The seismic analysis and performance assessment of earthquake-resistant buildings, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of how structures behave under seismic forces and how their safety and resilience can be enhanced. The study involves detailed architectural planning, accurate structural modelling, precise load assignment, and seismic enhancement techniques, all implemented using advanced software tools such as AutoCAD for drafting, ETABS for analysis and Microsoft Excel was used for data tabulation and graph preparation. Various earthquake-resistant strategies, including shear walls and bracing are applied and their effects on structural performance are thoroughly evaluated. Key response parameters such as base shear, story displacement, story drift are measured, and comparative analysis is performed to assess the effectiveness of different mitigation approaches. The project provides a systematic, practical, and professional framework for designing, analysing, and assessing buildings to ensure safety, structural integrity, and optimal performance under seismic conditions
