Analysis of Tall Structures Compared with Lateral Loads Using Software STAAD PRO, SAP 2000, and ETABS
摘要
Vulnerable regions in a structure are the first to experience the failure during an earthquake, typically because of discontinuities in mass, geometry, and stiffness. Such irregularities in structure plays a significant role in the development of modern urban infrastructure. Vertical irregularities are often the causes of structural collapse during seismic occurrence, making it crucial to understand their impact on a building’s seismic performance. The main goal of this study is to determine the most suitable and reliable systems for analysing structural results. Prior to the analysis, the designer must select between ETABS, SAP2000, or STAAD Pro. As preferred tool. To assess the effectiveness of these software tools, a comparative study is conducted on buildings with irregular geometries across different heights: GROUND + 5 STOREYS, GROUND + 10 STOREYS, GROUND + 15 STOREYS, and GROUND + 20 STOREYS.
