 BACKGROUND

v Here we will specifically compare seismic load with related parameters such as, seismic factor
zone, structural importance factor, soil factor, response reduction factor, time period,
normalized response acceleration spectrum and seismic weight for RC and steel structures in
accordance to BNBC-2015.

v According to NBCC -2005 these parameters get changed. Thus we will calculate base shear
for RC and steel structure as it is the simplest way to compare the final result.

v This study will be helpful in deciding effective structural system for seismic loading of a
multistory building in Bangladesh comparing to NBCC.
OBJECTIVES
Ø To become familiar with BNBC – 2015 & NBCC – 2005.

Ø To conduct structural analysis of multistory building using

RC and steel for seismic loading.

Ø Comparing similarities and differences between BNBC 2015

& NBCC 2005 on basis of Seismic Loading for RC Structure
and Steel Structure.

Types of Structure BNBC 2015
Reinforced Structure • Analyzing base shear & vertical
distribution of lateral forces.
• Analyzing load combinations.
• Beam design for the multistory concrete
structures.
• Analyzing shear reinforce requirements.
• Analyzing axial force and bending.
• Calculating relative flexural strength of
columns and beams.
Steel Structure • Analyzing steel members (secondary
beam, girder, secondary beam over roof
level, diagonal bracing, steel column).
• Analysis of base plates and anchor bolts
for seismic design of steel structure.
• Determining simple shear connection
and continuous connection.
METHODOLOGY
NBCC 2005
• Analyzing static loading due to earthquake.
• Calculating of minimum lateral earthquake
force.
• Designing the spectral acceleration values.
• Analysis of site classification for seismic site
response.
• Comparison of design spectral response
acceleration.
• Distribution of lateral seismic force.
• Design example.
• Analysis of steel seismic force resisting
systems.
• Ductile behavior of steel frame.
• Calculation of moderately ductile moment-
resisting frames.
