Effect of Sloping Ground on Multistorey Building under Earthquake Response: A Review

Buildings resting on sloping ground are different from those buildings which are resting on plain ground. The buildings which are located in hilly areas in earthquake prone regions are generally irregular, unsymmetrical, and torsionally coupled and hence, susceptible to severe damage when affected by earthquake ground motion. Therefore it is very important to consider earthquake effect and design earthquake resistant buildings from the safety point of view. These buildings have a mass and stiffness that vary along vertical and horizontal planes so that the centre of gravity and the centre of gravity on different floors do not coincide. Therefore, in addition to the lateral forces under seismic action, they require a torsion analysis. The article Present the review on the study of various researches on slope determination and analysis of structure on sloping surfaces. The review concluded that it is required to analyze the behavior of slope surface such hill, sloping ground under earthquake response to meet the growing demand for commercial and residential space.
