Abstract

Hilly area is more prone to seismic activity; e.g. northeast region of India. In this hilly region, traditionally material like, the adobe, brunt brick, stone masonry which is locally available is used for the construction of houses but nowadays GFRG panel are also used for construction of houses because of its low cost of construction. A scarcity of plain ground in hilly area compels the construction activity on sloping ground. Hill buildings constructed with different infill without conforming to seismic codal provisions have proved unsafe and, resulted in loss of life and property when subjected to earthquake ground motions. Therefore, the present research work is to analyze a 3D numerical model of 10 stories Glass fiber reinforced gypsum panel and Brick infill step back and step-back set-back building constructed on a sloping ground and performed the analysis by using software SAP 2000 (ver.16.0) using static nonlinear method for comparing and investigating the changes in structural behavior subjected to seismic load. The result of the analysis for displacement and base shear have been studied and compared for all the structure models.
