Abstract: This paper presents comparative study of static and dynamic analysis of irregular reinforced concrete building due to
earthquake. In present study, computer aided analysis of twelve-storied reinforced concrete building is carried out for static and
dynamic analysis by using ETABS (Extended Three dimensional Analysis of Building System) software. Load consideration is
based on Uniformed Building Code (UBC-1997). The structure is designed in accordance with American Concrete Institute
(ACI-318-99) design code. Firstly, the proposed building is analyzed with static analysis. Secondly, dynamic analysis with
response spectrum method is used. In this paper, the results of static and dynamic (response spectrum) analysis such as
displacement, storey shear, storey moment and storey drift are compared.

Keywords: Static analysis, Response spectrum method, Irregular reinforced concrete building, Earthquake.

IV. CONCLUSION
In this paper, displacement, storey shear, storey moment
and storey drift for both static and dynamic (response
spectrum) analysis in X and Y-direction are compared. In X-
direction, displacements obtained static analysis are less than
dynamic (response spectrum) analysis from storey 1 to 4 and
are higher than in response spectrum from storey 5 to 12. In
Y-direction, displacements obtained static analysis are less
than dynamic (response spectrum) analysis. In both
directions, storey shear in static analysis is less than that in
response spectrum analysis. The difference of storey moment
between static and response spectrum analysis is higher in X-
direction and in Y-direction, this difference is lower. In both
directions, the difference of storey drift is insignificant. For
irregular high-rise buildings, static analysis is insufficient and
it is necessary to use dynamic analysis.
