Dynamic Analysis of GFRG and Conventional Multistoried Buildings

using ETABS
Athulya R Prasad, Namitha Chandran
This paper compares the seismic responses of a typical G+3 storey building proposed at
Mumbai, with GFRG and conventional building materials using response spectrum and time
history analysis. Results show that GFRG building performs better in terms of least storey
displacement, storey drift and time period when compared to conventional buildings. As a
result of comparison between both analyses, it is observed that the displacement obtained from
time history analysis is higher than response spectrum analysis. Time period of conventional
building is more as compared to GFRG building.
