Abstract

Earthquakes are the most devastating and unexpected natural disasters, inflicting havoc on both people and infrastructure. An earthquake's seismic stresses can cause severe damage to structural components, and in certain cases, they may fail. Urbanization is also rapidly rising, making accessible development land increasingly scarce. Hence, the attractiveness of big structures is expanding. P-delta evaluation is another iterative method necessary when researching tall structures in compliance with IS 16700-2017 specifications. If an axial force is given to a member and it maintains its original position, just the lateral load generates a moment. When a member deflects by Δ, both the original moment and the P-Delta effect begin to work on it. The dynamic phenomenon known as P-delta occurs in the majority of structures, including components subjected to axial loads. Higher building heights cause more transverse stress from earthquakes. As the structure's height grows, the P-delta impact becomes more significant. This project utilizes three RC model constructions from East Delhi's G+4, G+10, and G+22-story residential towers. All three types have identical slab, column, and beam measurements. There are two steps to the work: The P-delta effect is ignored in the study's first phase, but it is addressed in the second half. We documented storey displacement and drift for all three models in both conditions. The P-delta effect is omitted from the first phase of the study before being included in the second.
