Abstract

Earthquakes are natural hazards which cause destruction to life and property. The surface ground shaking
causes severe damage to the structures, which depends on characteristic of subsurface soil. In this study attempt is made
to understand the effect of site specific response spectra and site specific acceleration time history analysis with different
sites by providing different locations of the shear wall. Present study includes ground response analysis of six sites
around Surat city using one dimensional equivalent linear analysis based software deepsoil. Bhuj earthquake data is
used as an input motion for different sites to get an acceleration time history of ground as well as response spectra.
ETABS was used to perform site specific response spectra and time history analysis. Total 16 models were analyzed like
‘c’ shape inner shear wall building, outer plane shear wall building, irregular building & ‘L’ shape outer plane shear
wall building for each 7,14,21 & 28 storey. Base shear obtained by site specific response spectra & time history analysis
were compared.
