Rakesh Kumar Gupta, Prof. D. L. Budhlani

Abstract: The national building code of India(NBC)2015 was released by bureau of Indian standards during December 2016/january2017. The various sections of this NBC have undergone changes as per latest technologies and user requirements. It is necessary to identify the performance of the structures to withstand against disaster for both new and existing one. The paper discusses the performance evaluation of RC (Reinforced Concrete) Buildings with plan irregularity. Structural irregularities are important factors which decrease the seismic performance of the structures. This study as a whole makes an effort to evaluate the effect of plan irregularity on RC buildings using IS 1893:2002 and IS 1893:2016 in terms of dynamic characteristics.

Keywords: Seismic performance, Plan Irregularity, IS 1893:2002, IS1893:2016
