Role of expansion joint in the study of seismic analysis of a multi-storied building

In this paper, the study on multi-storied building with and without expansion joint when it is subjected to seismic forces in both x y direction are taken into consideration. By maintain same floor area of different plans provided along weaker column stretch stiffed order make more resistant compared joints. The analysis done using ETABS 2016. parameters such as shear force bending moment at critical considered for joint. It concluded that L shaped being decreased from bottom top storey effect shown effectively U-shaped terms reduction L-shaped T-shaped, because providing two joints since there columns stretch. When comes economy structure, cost construction structure relatively high but can far better case forces. future scope be type filler material used integrity.
