Abstract In various parts of India, the ground is not flat and the lack of plain ground in hilly areas obliges construction activity on sloping terrain resulting in various significant buildings such as RC framed structures resting on hilly slopes. In such areas the constructing Structures by clearing the site, making it flat becomes uneconomical In this present study using ETABS.v19 software, A group of buildings configurations is analyzed using Response Spectrum Method (namely Step Back configuration) with different ground Sloping ground i.e., 15°, 20° and 25° with horizontal. These group further studied with 8 different Shear wall locations namely Shear wall at core, Shear wall at periphery of Sloping Side also along all 4 sides etc., By performing analysis Dynamic response of these buildings, in terms of Base Shear, Maximum Story displacement and Story Drifts Ratios is presented, and results are compared within the considered configuration. At the end, an appropriate building configuration to be used in Sloped terrain areas is recommended.

The economic progress and fast urbanization in the hilly region have accelerated infrastructure development. Because of this, the inhabitants in the hilly terrain have increased rapidly. Therefore, there is demand for the constructionofmulti storeybuildingsonhillyterraininand aroundthelocality.Sincelevelorflatlandinhillyregionsis veryinadequate,thereisaninsistentdemandtoconstruct buildingsontheslopedground Therefore,theconstruction ofmulti storeyReinforcedConcreteFramestructuresona sloped terrain is the only possible choice to put up increasingdemandforresidentialandcommercialpurposes On hilly terrain, the buildings constructed are typically irregular,torsionalcoupledandhence,vulnerabletosevere damagewhensubjectedtoSeismicgroundmotion.Themass andstiffnessofthesebuildingsvariesalongtheverticaland horizontal planes, which results in the different centre of mass and rigidity on various floors, hence they demand analysisfortorsional,inaddingtolateralforcesunderthe actionofearthquakes.Analysisofbuildingsconstructedon hilly areas are unlike to that of buildings on the flattened groundbecause,thecolumnofhillbuildingrestsatdifferent levelsontheslopingground Duringearthquakethecolumn whichareshort,i.e.,shortcolumnsattractmoreenergyand enduresdamagewhensubjectedtogroundmotion.

Fig. 3:TopStoreyDisplacementinX&Y directionfor15: slope
From above it is clear that along Y direction the introduction of shear wall at core is having less effect butalong Xdirection theshear wall atcore plays important role in the reduction of Displacement.
From case 5 onwards i.e., SBC4 to SBC7, there is considerable amount of reduction in both X & Y direction because of the presence of Shear wall alongbothslopingdirectionandperpendicularto theslopingdirectioni.e.,onallthesidesofframes (sideA,sideB,sideC,sideD). It is also noted that displacement reduces with increase in number of Shear wall. Hence SBC7 showstheleastdisplacementcomparetoallother casesi.e.,fromSBC0toSBC6 ItisnotedthatfortheSBC7thereisanincreaseof 6.735%ofmaxstoreydisplacementfrom15:to20: slopes,6.98%from20:to25:slopesand14.19% increase in max storey displacement from 15: to 25:slopes.

WiththeintroductionofShearwall,thebaseshear increases(Fig 10to12)alongbothX&Ydirection. This is due to increase in the dead weight of the structures. Considering a typical case of 20o slope (Fig 11), from SBC0 to SBC7 there is 34.125% & 86.14% increase in base shear along X & Y direction respectively.

Itisseenthatbelow1ststorylevel,thevariationin storey drift ratio is very irregular. This is been reduced considerably by introducing the Shear walls.
Storey drift ratios for SBC2, SBC3, and SBC4 have similarvaluesasseeninthegraphsabove.
Storey Drift Ratio for the first floor is very much higher compared to all other floors, this is due to theshortcolumneffectbelowthefirstfloor.

Withincreaseinslope(from15o to25o),thebase shear of the structure increases for all cases i.e., SBC0 to SBC7. This is because as the slope of the increases the dead load of building will also increases.

By increasing the Shear walls, the base shear increases and maximum storey displacement and storeydriftratioreduces.
