It carries heavy load and provides resistance against lateral forces. Hence an alternative is found for high rise building. Hence stiffness of columns must be ensured to stay safe during an earthquake, it was found that for providing high stiffness in the columns, the size of columns increase drastically and it is difficult to construct large size columns due to congestion of space. In high rise buildings earthquake forces should be considered before determining the safety of a structure. Due to scarcity of space caused by migration of people from rural to urban area, hence it is necessary to construct high rise buildings. Earthquake in the past decade is observed to be more devastating, so it is now important to consider the effect of earthquake for the construction of medium to high rise buildings.
