Abstract Modelling of multi storied building as a frame structure which is supported by beams and columns is matter of course now a days. We consider the structural strength which is provided by the walls and slabs for the normal height of buildings. As the building height go on increases the forces upon the building also increases with the addition of wind and seismic loads which we call as dynamic loadings depending upon the different slab condition. In this thesis modelling and structural analysis of 41 stored building have been performed to investigate the effect of considering the slab with different plate condition (shell, plate, membrane) subjected to dynamic load studied. The study is further reinforced by considering factors such as model considering with infill and diaphragm, model considering with diaphragm and without infill, model considering with infill and without diaphragm action, model with no diaphragm action and no infill effect. Using ETabs.

INTRODUCTION General In developing countries like India, demand of high rise buildings is increasing day by day due to growing population and lack of land in urban areas. From structural engineer’s point of view, high rise multi-storied building is the one that by virtue of its height is affected by lateral forces to an extent that they play an important role in the structural design. In this type of buildings, wind and seismic loads play a predominant role. Hence the lateral stability is most important for high rise building. Earthquakes are one of the nature’s greatest hazards to life on this planet. They are the least understood of the natural hazards and in the early days were looked upon as supernatural events. The annual losses due to earthquakes are very large in many parts of the world. The human and economic losses resulting from severe earthquakes are due to failure of human-made facilities such as buildings, bridges etc. In recent years a powerful earthquake was struck the Kutch region of the province of Gujarat at 8:46 a.m. on 26th of January 2001, with a magnitude of 6.7. The epi-
centre of the earthquake was located at 50 km northeast of the town of Bhuj. This earthquake ranks as one of the most destructive events recorded so far in India in terms of death, damage to infrastructure and devastation in last ten years. Damage due this earthquake was estimated at Rs: 21300 crores. The number of injured people is reported to be 166000, of which 20700 suffered serious injuries. It is estimated that about 370000 houses and huts were completely destroyed. After investigation it was revealed that damage of various structures is due to deficiency in design, planning practice, analysis, and even poor quality of construction and poor detailing. In this chapter, introduction of membrane, plates and shells were discussed; this chapter also deals with the types of plates and shells. Uses of these elements and their differences are focused. Plates Plates are considered to be any essentially flat two dimensional structural components such as floor slab, flat roof which are made up of metal, the only difference between the plates and slab is only the material used. The bending property of plate mainly depends on the thickness of plates as compared with the other dimensions. The following are the kinds of plates which are distinguished below • Thin plates with small deflection • Thin plate with large deflections • Thick plate Thin plates with small deflections: If the deflections are very small in comparison with its thickness h, a very satisfactory approximate theory of bending of plate by lateral loads can be developed by making following assumptions
