Progressive Collapse Analysis Of Rcc Diagrid Structure By Using Pushover Analysis

Abstract

The Increasing Frequency Of Seismic Events In Regions Like India Emphasizes The Need To Assess The Seismic Resilience Of Structures. This Study Focuses On The Progressive Collapse Analysis Of RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) Diagrid Structures, Specifically Using Pushover Analysis, A Nonlinear Static Method To Evaluate Building Performance Under Seismic Loading. Pushover Analysis Accounts For Material And Geometric Nonlinearities, Offering A Deeper Understanding Of Structural Behavior Beyond The Elastic Limit, Particularly When Subjected To Extreme Seismic Forces. The Research Compares RCC Diagrid Structures With Conventional Buildings (G+7, G+11, And G+16 Configurations) To Analyze Their Seismic Performance. The Findings Highlight That Diagrid Structures Exhibit Improved Lateral Stability, Reduced Displacement, And Better Force Distribution During Seismic Events. This Study Contributes To The Development Of More Resilient And Cost-effective Earthquake-resistant Designs, Ultimately Enhancing Safety And Sustainability In Seismic-prone Areas.
