Seismic vulnerability and Resilience of Steel-Reinforced Concrete (SRC) and Composite Structures

Abstract

Now a days the composite structures are generally used in the construction of tall buildings because ease of construction materials but in developing countries a need of tall structures to take care of growing urban population because the area availability is very less which is insufficient to provide accommodation for the growing population. Composite structures give more benefit compared to RCC structure such as speedy and easier erection, labour saving, fire protection, stiff strength, safe and full lifespan. Compared to RCC structures composite structures have less dead weight and less cross section of the structural members. Steel resist more earthquake load than concrete with the help of ductility in nature. Here this paper gives the complete clarity in the differences RCC and composite structure in the behaviour of Displacement, Storey drift and Storey shear by using ETABS 2018 software under seismic effect of G+12 stories building is designed by the proper methodology, is evaluated by response spectrum analysis. The response of the structure under seismic loading is depends upon the material property, shape of the plan, and structural system.
