Analysis of Tall Building Using IS 16700-2017 and ASCE 7-10

With the increase in population, the lack of space in cities becomes the main issue. Due to this limitation in space, the constructions of tall or high-rise buildings have become the necessity of time. The design criteria for high-rise buildings are very complex in comparison with low- and mid-rise buildings. When a tall building is considered, it is exposed to static as well as dynamic loading. The life of a tall building is affected by various parameters such as bending, shear, torsion and drifts, and these effects have to be considered while analyzing and designing it. Each country develops its own codes and standards for analysis and design. Till date, the high-rise constructions in India are carried out according to various Indian standards and codal provisions. Recently, a new code IS 16700-2017 “Criteria for Structural Safety of Tall Concrete Buildings” specifically for tall buildings has been introduced in India. This code focuses on various aspects of tall buildings. In the present work, a G + 20 reinforced concrete tall building of height 63 m is considered. The seismic and wind analysis of the structure is carried out using ETABS 2016 version 16.2.1 software. The results are obtained using Indian and American standards. The analysis result shows that American standard gives higher values than that of Indian standard.
