Most of the hilly regions of India are highly seismic. A building on hill slope differs in different way from other buildings. Buildings situated in hilly areas are much more vulnerable to seismic environment. The various floors of such building steps back towards the hill slope and at the same time buildings may have setbacks also. Analysis of hill buildings is somewhat different than the buildings on leveled ground, since the column of such building rests at different levels on the slope. In present study, the analysis of G+3 building on ground slope angles 7.50 has been conducted. Both type of building configurations (step back and step back setback) has been considered. The seismic forces are considered as per IS: 1893:2002. The buildings are considered in seismic zone IV and damping ratio 5%. Seismic analysis has been done using Linear Static, Linear Dynamic method. 3D analytical model of buildings have been generated and analyzed using structural analysis tool “STAAD Pro v8i” to study the effect of varying height of columns in ground storey due to sloping ground. The response parameters base shear, shear in bottom storey column, time period are critically analyzed to quantify the effects of various sloping ground.
