  • Abstract:
  • The use of exoskeletal frames is an innovative approach to enhancing the seismic response of multi-story buildings. This approach involves adding a secondary structure around the existing building to provide additional lateral support and increase the building's resistance to seismic forces. The exoskeleton is typically made of steel or reinforced concrete and is designed to absorb and distribute the lateral forces generated by an earthquake, reducing the stress on the existing structure. The experiment aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach by comparing the performance of buildings with and without an exoskeletal frame. The study considers three different plan irregularity models with three different heights for each plan, totalling nine different models. The analysis of these models is done using CSI ETABS software, which allows for the evaluation of various parameters such as Base Shear, Storey Shear, Storey Displacement, Storey Drift, Overturning Moments, and Storey Stiffness. The results of the experiment will provide valuable insights into the performance of exoskeletal frames in enhancing the seismic response of multi-story buildings. This information will be useful for architects, engineers, and construction professionals who are involved in the design and construction of buildings in seismic zones. The experiment is expected to contribute to the development of more effective and efficient methods for enhancing the seismic response of multi-story buildings, ultimately leading to safer and more resilient structures. One of the common characteristics for the amenity in contemporary multi-story building construction in metropolitan India is the soft storey. The construction of new columns and shear walls for the lateral loads is no longer an option for existing structures, whose capacity has been lowered and which are liable to collapse due to earthquakes since they have soft level floors. The complexity of the analysis and design of the structure can be greatly reduced with the use of contemporary technology and the use of software analysis in civil engineering. In this research, an analysis of the seismic response of the structure to static and dynamic earthquake loading has been conducte
