ABSTRACT

The main objective of this project is to analyze the seismic and wind load performance of a G+10 multi-storey hotel building. Multi-storey buildings are ideal for accommodating large numbers of people in limited space, but these structures must be designed to be durable, strong, and have sufficient stiffness and structural strength. Buildings in coastal areas are particularly susceptible to various types of loads, including wind and seismic forces. Past events have caused significant damage to both steel and concrete structures, leading to loss of life, property, and livelihoods. These loads, resulting from wind and seismic activity, can severely impact the stability of buildings in such regions.

In this study, a G+10 multi-storey hotel building is analyzed under wind and seismic loading using STAAD PRO software. The goal is to design the building to withstand these forces by incorporating shear walls. The primary outputs of the analysis include storey displacement, storey drift, storey stiffness, lateral forces, base shear, and base moment. Different building models, both with and without shear wall locations, are compared to identify the optimal design for enhanced performance under wind and seismic loads.
