Several previous earthquake studies have shown that earthquakes have significant impact on power grids and have major catastrophic effects on human life, buildings, bridges and the economy. Hilly buildings are more susceptible to severe damage from lateral forces (earthquake ground motion) in comparison to buildings in plains because they are irregular and asymmetrical in the horizontal and vertical planes and torsionally coupled. In this paper, the seismic response of a G + 4 Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings is being compared by varying the angles of the sloping ground. Buildings with sloping angles of 0°, 10° and 20° are being considered for analysis. The seismic design of the buildings is being done as per the IS 1893(Part I):2016 while for the ductile detailing provisions IS 13920:2016 has been considered. ETABS software has been used for modelling and analysis purposes of the buildings considered. To incorporate the nonlinear behaviour in the structure’s plastic hinges have been assigned to the frame elements. Nonlinear pushover analysis has been performed and the capacity curves and ductility demands have been determined. This study helps in determining the effect of varying the angles of the sloping ground on different dynamic characteristics along with the variations in ductility demands of the buildings resting on slope ground. The results obtained from the present study will help in evaluating the seismic performance and risk of failure of the buildings resting on slope.
