1. INTRODUCTION
In many parts of India it is a regular practice to construct building on hill slopes, whether there is a natural
hill sloping terrain. The building on the sloping terrain undergoes severe torsion under earthquake
hazardous excitation due to significant variation in the elevation of ground floor columns. To make the
decision on the safety, adequacy or to assess the actual behavior of the structures, sophisticated analytical
methods are needed. Static Non linear (Pushover) Analysis has become a popular method during the last
some decades for the seismic assessment of structure. Pushover (Non Linear) Analysis preserves

method, Full Load arrangement is used while précised, which is force controlled method, must survive to

thereby leading to increase in base shear. From analysis, it is found that time period for bare frame model
is almost 90 to 135 percent more, when compared to other models. By Prashant D1, Dr. Jagadish Kori G2.
1.1 Background
Nonlinear static (pushover) Analysis has been superior in excess of the history 20 years & has now
develop into the most selected Analysis technique for Design & seismic presentation estimation purposes
because this put into practice is comparatively simple & considers post- elastic performance. On the other
hand, this technique includes confident approximations & simplifications due to which some amount of
variation is always possible to survive i.e., to exists in the seismic demand estimation of pushover analysis.
1.2Concept of pushover analysis
A Pushover (Non Linear) Analysis is presented by been subjected a construction to a monotonically rising
prototype of tangential load, on behalf of Inertial Forces which would exist skilled through construction
when subject towards the ground quaking. Beneath incrementally rising weights a variety of structured
fundamentals can yield in sequence accordingly. At each event, the constructions experience a defeat in
rigidity. By means of Pushover (Non Linear) analysis, a excellence non-linear Force Displacement

Unlike Forces Distributions can be used to symbolize the Earthquake loads strength. If a Pushover

• The Forces in X-direction is more successful than in Y-direction.
• The Displacement is more in the Medium Soils than in Rock soils.
• In the medium type soils 6th storey is the peak storey for resistance by using isolated bearings.
• The storey drift in any storey should be a minimum partial load factor of 1shall not exceed 0.006 times the
storey height.
• In the 4th storey when the structure was in the normal condition the maximum target displacement(117mm)
and the maximum base shear (533.36kn) has been decreased when the isolated bearings are introduced to
the structure , hence the maximum target displacement (108mm) and maximum base shear (531kn).
• In the 5th storey when the structure was in the normal condition the maximum target displacement (129mm)
and the maximum base shear (681kn) has been decreased when the isolated bearings are introduced to the
structure , hence the maximum target displacement (119mm) and maximum base shear (680.05kn).
5. CONCLUSIONS
1. The performance of RCC frames was investigated by means of the (Non Linear) pushover analysis.
2. From this analysis the observations are as the angle of slope increases base shear increases and displacement
decreases.
3. The base shear acts more in longitudinal direction than in transverse direction.
4. These observations are reduced i.e., displacement, drifts and the large forces it can resist when we are using
isolated bearings at supports at it varies upto nearly 10%.
5. From this we observed that for 16.32, 21.58, 26.56, 31.56 degrees are safe upto 5- bay .But as the bay
increases more no of hinges are to be formed and subjected to collapse region.
