Abstract

Historical monuments defines rise of humanity over the centuries. Few of them are structural masterpieces yet very less work has been done towards such structures. They have been standing over thousand years but negligible damage has been caused to these structures by natural calamities. This descriptive research study aimed to conduct a seismic analysis of the Rani Ki Vav, Patan. Rani kiVav is well known monument in the world and currently been placed into the world heritage by UNESCO. For this purpose of the study 3D model using Gridlines was constructed in the F.E.M. based software Sap2000. Response Spectrum Analysis and Time History Analysis was carried out and based on the output Response Spectra and Time History Acceleration graphs are developed.
