  • Abstract:
  • Structural engineers play a crucial role in designing earthquake-resistant structures, especially for high-rise RCC buildings situated in various seismic zones and built on different soil types. Earthquakes alter the strong ground motion, potentially leading to structural failure, and the impact of these events largely depends on the soil type where the RCC building stands. This paper employs ETABS, STAAD Pro, and SAP2000 software to conduct evaluations using the equivalent static method and response spectrum method. These evaluations aim to examine the effects of different soil types and seismic zones on high-rise RCC buildings. An extensive literature review is undertaken to comprehend the seismic behaviour of high-rise RCC buildings across various soil types and seismic zones. The study identifies the most suitable and cost-effective conditions that ensure the maximum serviceable life of high-rise buildings.
