Preface
What is a tall Building?
Council of Tall Building and Urban Habitat, USA defines tall building as 14 or
more stories or over 165 ft(50) meter height . Murray suggest tall building in
world term, the expectation would be over 50 Storey. Michael Willford, Andrew
Whittaker, Ron Klemencic authored document titled Recommendations for
the Seismic Design of High-rise Buildings in which A tall building is defined by
them in this document as a building of sufficient height for the period of the
first translational mode of vibration to exceed 4 seconds.
Motivation for the project
India has become one of the hot spot in Asia for big construction companies
such L&T, DLF, Tata Projects, Gammon India and Hindustan with hundreds of
high-rises and more than 100 super tall skyscraper under construction most of
which are concrete Shear Wall Dominant System.
It has been seen that The measured time period is on higher side compared to
Code based Time Period specially for building height Measuring 150 ft or
beyond (45 Meters approximately about 15 story and beyond).
Formulae proposed in published paper either does not cover tall buildings or
if covered, only one or two parameters has been taken as variable.
Current code formulas for estimating the fundamental period of concrete SW
buildings are grossly inadequate ( Rakesh K. Goel,and Anil K. Chopra)

Project Objectives
Aim
Development of a simplified analytical function to calculate fundamental time period to be
used for estimation of Base Shear in Tall Building with Shear Walls.
Scope
RCSW Building with height Range 100 Meters to 200 Meters, with Average story height of
2.5 to 3.5 Meter
Peak Ground Acceleration >0.15 g
IS 1893 Response Spectra for Analysis of New Models of buildings
Tools to be used
CSMIP & Others-Measured Time Period Data from Instrumented Buildings
SAP2000 and ANSYS
