  • Fundamental period equations for plan irregular moment-resisting frame buildings

    Advances in Civil and Architectural Engineering, 2024
    The fundamental natural period of oscillation is a critical parameter in evaluating the design base shear of buildings. Worldwide seismic design codes typically employ height-based empirical formulas to estimate this period for various building categories, without distinguishing between regular and irregular buildings. This study proposes a formula specifically for reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frame (MRF) buildings with dominant re-entrant corner type plan irregularity. A total of 190 re-entrant corner dominant building models with different shapes (C-, L-, T-, and PLUS-type), heights, and floor configurations were prepared, and eigenvalue analysis (EVA) was conducted. The fundamental natural period of oscillation for each model was evaluated and compared with the height-based formulas from seismic design codes and the period–height relationship proposed in existing literature. A nonlinear regression model, using a multi-variable power function, is proposed to estimate the fundamental natural period for these re-entrant corner dominant building models. This model considers the A/L ratio in both directions of the building, along with its height. Both unconstrained and constrained regression analyses were performed to derive a formula that best fits the fundamental natural period data. The study recommends that the unconstrained best-fit minus one standard deviation curve can conservatively define the fundamental natural period of oscillation for re-entrant corner dominant RC building models. The equation defining this curve has the potential to replace the existing seismic design code-based period-height formula.

    Reinforced Concrete (RC) building stocks with plan and/or vertical irregularities are built routinely world-wide, despite being vulnerable to seismic forces.Irregular RC buildings with asymmetry, mass and stiffness irregularities have been well researched, however, seismic behaviour of RC building with re-entrant corner type plan irregularity is given relatively less attention.In the present study, a total of 104 re-entrant corner dominant plan irregular RC building models (C-, L-, T-and PLUS-shaped) are developed along with one regular rectangular building.Plan Irregularity Descriptors (PIDs) are summarized with their limit of regularity and are evaluated for building models.Building models have uni-directional and bi-directional re-entrant corner of / ratio ranging between 0.1 to 0.8 in the X-direction and between 0.2 to 0.8 in the Y-direction.Seismic response quantities; peak displacement, peak storey drift, normalized base shear and normalized overturning moments are evaluated using the equivalent static method and response spectrum method specified by the Indian seismic code.It has been found that building models yield amplified peak displacement responses in the direction perpendicular to that of applied seismic forces.Other seismic response parameters for all re-entrant RC building models fall well within code based permissible limits./ ratio limit specified by the Indian seismic code is found to be conservative.Out of various building models considered, C-shaped building models perform well under seismic forces, while PLUS-, L-and T-shaped RC building models with / ratio ≥ 0.4, in both directions, overshoot torsional irregularity descriptor, ∆ ∆ .
