Study of Dynamic Behaviour of MIVAN Structure with Different Percentage of Openings and Different Seismic Zones

Abstract

It is understood that the building constructed using MIVAN technology has more merits compared to conventional building.  This work can be done by within a week per floor. MIVAN Formwork material has an influence on the compressive strength and durability of concrete. The surface strength varies with the rate of water absorption of formworks. In other cases brick material is used as infill. However, a detailed study is done to understand structural behaviour of the building with and without openings in MIVAN building will be carried out. The analysis is carried out for different percentage of openings. In the present study a 10 storey structure with the provision of with and without openings for various percentage i.e. 20%, 40% and 60% are taken into consideration. The seismic behaviour of 3D structure for these cases is compared for several seismic zones keeping the soil condition as constant. Response Spectrum method is used for linear dynamic analysis by ETABS. The amounts of variation in the building for the structure with and without openings for various percentages are compared with all other parameters in the form of graph. Comparison is made in such a way that by keeping one parameter as constant and vice versa. The structure with which percentage of opening is suitable for all conditions is selected. The best structure out of all the openings is finally selected which will satisfy all the conditions with safety. This paper reveals about significance of MIVAN.
