1.1 Overview
Structures on the earth are generally subjected to two types of load i.e. static and dynamic. Static
loads are constant with time while dynamic loads are time varying. In general majority of the
civil structures are designed with the assumption that all applied loads are static. The effect of
dynamic load is not being considered because the structure is rarely subjected to dynamic loads,
more its consideration in the analysis makes the solution more complicated and time consuming.
This aspect of neglecting dynamic forces may sometimes become the cause of disaster.
Particularly in case of earthquake.
An Earthquake is a natural disaster that unlike the other disasters like floods etc leaves no time
for evacuation of people to safer places thus causing a huge loss of lives as well as property.
Hence designing our buildings to resist these seismic loads is the only feasible alternative. Each
damage case has provided important information for improving the design and construction
practices thus trying to protect the occupants of the buildings. This chapter includes the code
based procedure for seismic analysis, structural modeling concept and objective of the present
study.
Indian tectonic plate being one of the most active tectonic plates, India has faced a number of
deadly earthquakes that left thousands of people dying each time. The Bureau of Indian
standards (BIS) has been doing a considerable effort to mitigate the hazards due to these
earthquakes. Scientists in India have concentrated on bringing up a code of practice for seismic
resistant design (IS 1893), which gives guidelines to Engineers on the amount of forces to be
accounted in the seismic regions. Development of Seismic Zoning map has been a subject of
research in India for the past 40 years. Seismic zoning map is a map that divides entire country
into different regions according to the earthquake potential in those regions.
1.2.1 Development of Seismic zoning map
BIS constituted a multi-disciplinary committee in 1960 to bring out a code for earthquake
resistant design. The first seismic zoning map was developed by this committee using a
statistical approach. the isoseismics of 23 major earthquakes, the trend of principal tectonic
features are used to develop a seven zone seismic zoning map varying from Zone ‘0’ to
Zone‘VI’. This code was later found deficient as the boundaries between seismic zones I and II
were not clearly visible in some regions. Also, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)has
assigned magnitudes to many historical earthquakes using correlation relations. Therefore, the
BIS committee revised the seismic zoning map in 1966 to account this available information and
to provide additional emphasis on geology and tectonics. The number of zones remained
unchanged.
The 1967 Konya earthquake (M 6.5) that occurred in peninsular shield of India has forced the
second revision of the code in 1970 to review the given low seismic status to peninsular region.
It was also decided to reduce the number of zones to five instead of seven. In the latest revision
of seismic zoning map that has been adopted in. IS 1893 — 2002, the zone I is enhanced to zone
II to make the total number of zones to four. It was also decided to have an interim revision to
review the seismic status of peninsular India based on a probabilistic hazard analysis. IS 1893:
2002 recommended various zone factors for Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) for the
service life of 100 years. For Design Basis Earthquake (DBE),which is expected once during the
lifetime of the structure, half of the MCE zone factor is to be considered.
IS 1893 adopted a design philosophy to ensure that structures possess minimum strength to
The revised code in 2002, considers the ductility in the form of a Response reduction factor(R).
It recommends different Importance factors (I) to consider the usage of the building.
The code recommends two methods of analysis namely Equivalent static load Method and
Dynamic Analysis. For calculating the Design Base Shear of the building using Equivalent static
load method. Design horizontal coefficient (A) has to be found out using the seismic zone factor
(Z). Importance factor (1). Response reduction factor (R) and spectral acceleration coefficient )S-
a/g) obtained from the Response spectrum curve for the specified soil type and the structures
fundamental time period.
The dynamic analysis is recommended for buildings of 40m in height situated in zones IV and V
and for irregular buildings of 12m or more in height situated in zones IV and V.
Code recommends response spectrum method of dynamic analysis with Complete Quadratic
Combination (CQC) method used for modal combination.
A lumped mass model is simple and most used for practical design of multistory building. It
reduces the substantial amount of calculation. A two plane frame model is been used for building
having symmetrical plan and tensional response are expected to be small. The model connects all
the plane frames in one principal direction by assuming the identical horizontal displacement of
floor.
Once the structural model has been selected, it is possible to perform analysis to determine the
seismically induced forces in the structures. There are different types of analysis which provide
different degree of accuracy.

Analysis
Based on the type of external action and behavior of structure, the analysis can be further
classified as linear static analysis, linear dynamic analysis, Non-linear static analysis and Non-
linear dynamic analysis.
Linear static analysis or equivalent static analysis can only be used for regular structure with
limited height. Linear dynamic analysis can be performed in two ways either by mode
superposition method or response spectrum method and elastic time history method. This
analysis will produce the effect of higher modes of vibration and actual distribution of forces in
elastic range in better way. They represent an improvement over linear static analysis.
The significant difference between linear static and dynamic analysis is the level of force and
their distribution along the height of the structure. Nonlinear static analysis is an improvement
over the linear static or dynamic analysis in the sense that it allows the inelastic behavior of
structure. The method also assumes the set of static incremental load over the height of the
structure.
The method is relatively simple to be implemented and provides information on the strength,
deformation, and ductility of the structure and the distribution of demands.
A non-linear dynamic analysis or inelastic time history analysis is the only method to describe
the actual behavior of the structure during an earthquake.
Main features of seismic method of analysis based on Indian standard are 1893 (part l ):2002 are
described as follows.
Seismic analysis of most of the structures is still carried out on the basis of lateral force assumed
to be equivalent to the actual loading. The base shear which is the aggregate even power on the
structure is computed on the premise of structure mass and key time of Vibration and comparing
mode shape. The base shear is appropriated along the stature of the structure as far as sidelong
powers as indicated by code equation. This strategy is normally traditionalist for low to medium
stature structures with a general configuration.
This strategy is appropriate for those structures where modes other than essential one influence
altogether the reaction of the structure. In this technique the reaction of multi level of flexibility
framework is communicated as the superposition of model reaction, each model reaction being
resolved from the ghostly investigation of single level of opportunity framework, which are then
joined to register the aggregate reaction. Display examination prompts the reaction history of the
structure to a predefined ground movement. Elastic time history analysis
A direct time history examination beats every one of the detriments of modular reaction
Spectrum Analysis, give non-straight conduct isn't included. This technique requires more
noteworthy computational exertion for figuring the reaction at discrete circumstances.
The present study is aims to evaluate the seismic response of the multistory building made up of
different material, i.e. concrete, steel, and composite material, so that one can choose best
alternative which has good seismic performance.
To understand the response of the building under earthquake, dynamic response spectrum
method is used, and the response of the structure in terms of time period, frequency, deflections,
story shear, story displacement, story drift, modal participation factor, peck ground acceleration
is compared for all types of models.
Composite construction as we know it today was first used in both a building and a bridge in
U.S. over a century ago. The first forms of composite structures incorporated the use of steel and
concrete for flexural members, and the issue of longitudinal slip between these elements was
soon identified.
Composite steel– solid shafts are the soonest type of the composite development strategy. In U.S.
a patent by an American specialist was produced for the shear connectors at the best rib of a
widespread steel area to anticipate longitudinal slip. This was the start of the improvement of
completely composite frameworks in steel and cement. Concrete-encased steel areas were at first
created keeping in mind the end goal to defeat the issue of imperviousness to fire and to
guarantee that the dependability of the steel segment was kept up all through stacking. The steel
segment and solid act compositely to oppose hub power and twisting minutes.
A composite tubular section was produced in light of the fact that they gave perpetual and vital
formwork to a pressure part and were instrumental in diminishing development time and thus
costs. They decrease the prerequisite of sidelong support and expensive tying, and additionally
give less demanding association with steel light emissions confined structure.
Composite sections have been acquainted as of late with consider the expansion in quality that
can be accomplished if the profiled steel sheeting is considered in quality computations.
Composite sections give changeless and indispensable fortification, which dispenses with the
requirement for setting and stripping of plywood and timber formwork. All the more as of late,
composite section and pillar frameworks have been created for strengthened cement encircled
development; this gives focal points like those credited to composite chunks for fortified solid
piece and shaft frameworks. These favourable circumstances incorporate decreased development
time because of end of formwork and disposal of unreasonable measures of strengthening steel.
This hence diminishes the traverse to-profundity proportions of normal bars and furthermore
decreases work costs.
Figure 2.1 Composite Steel–Concrete Beams and Slabs, Car Park, Australia
The utilization of profiled steel sheeting as both changeless formwork and support to solid
chunks was first created in America in the mid 1950s. Following its presentation into the
United Kingdom in the 1970s it has turned into the most well-known type of floor framework
for steel encircled office structures. In Australia, in the mid 1990's much research was done
utilizing a similar development procedure in shafts moreover. In this part, an intensive audit
is given of research into composite development, including pillars, section with steel decking
and profiled composite shafts.
2.2.2 Rajendra R. Bhoir, Prof. Mahesh Bagade (July 2016) [1] In this paper two
residential G+15 storied composite and RCC structure are broke down and planned in ETAB
programming with two distinctive story statures 3m and 4m. It is discovered that the
profundity of bars in composite structure is lesser than of RCC structure, which results to
likewise decrease the sizes of segments in composite structure. it is additionally observed that
the solid and steel utilization in composite structure is less however as they are utilizing hot
moved segments the auxiliary steel utilization is expanded. They infer that composite activity
builds the heap conveying limit and firmness by elements of around 2 and 3.5 separately.
They reason that composite structure demonstrated more conservative.
2.2.3 Renavikar Aniket, Suryawanshi Yogesh (July 2016) [20]they did Comparative Study
on Analysis and Cost of R.C.C. and Steel-Composite Structure. The paper involves Analysis
of a residential building with steel-concrete composite and RCC construction. The proposed
structure is a four multi-storeyed buildings of G+9, G+12, G+15, G+18, with 3.0m as the
height of each floor with (plan dimension 15m x 9m). The analysis done by 2D modelling
using software STAAD-Pro 2007, load combinations taken as per the IS Code. The project
involves analysis of an equivalent RCC structure so that a cost comparison can be made
between a composite structure and an equivalent RCC structure. Because of the inherent
ductility characteristics, composite structure will perform better than conventional RCC
structure. The axial forces, seismic forces, bending moment and deflections in RCC are more
as compared to the composite structure. There is the reduction in cost of steel structure as
compared to RCC structure due to reduction in dimensions of elements. Composite option is
better than RCC for high rise building because Weight of composite structure is low as
compared to RCC structure which helps in reducing the foundation cost and it is subjected to
fewer amounts of forces induced due to the earthquake Composite structure is more
economical than that of RCC structure. Composite structures are the best solution for high
rise structure as compared to RCC structure. Speedy construction facilitates quicker return on
the invested capital and benefits in terms of rent.
2.2.4 Murtuza S. Aainawala (June 2016) [7]He assess and think about the seismic
execution of G+15 story made up of RCC and composite structures by ETABS 2015
programming. Both steel and solid composite structures having concrete filled steel tube and
RCC structures were having delicate story at ground level, structures were situated in the
locale of quake zone IV on a medium soil. Equal static and reaction range strategy is utilized
for investigation. Story float, Displacement, self weight, twisting minute and shear drive, are
considered as parameters. At the point when analyzed composite structures indicates
preferred execution over RCC.
2.2.5 Abhishek Sanjay Mahajan, Laxman G. Kalurkar (April 2016) [15] The RCC
Structure is no longer suitable because of increased dead load, span rejection and less
stiffness. There is great potential for increasing volume of steel in construction .The
percentage of steel can be increased with the use of steel-concrete composite sections. The
paper presents the effect of FEC (Fully Encased Composite) on a G+ 20 storey special
moment frame. In this, paper two different structures are considered for the comparison
under seismic analysis. The linear static analysis and nonlinear static analysis i.e. “Pushover
analysis” are done for G+20 storey structure. The building is analyzed and design for seismic
loading by using ETAB software. The unique method of pushover analysis is followed with
the help of FEMA 36 specifications and for hinge formation ATC40 is considered. Results
are compared for the Base shear, Modal time period, Storey displacement and storey drift for
both structures. As the composite is having more lateral stiffness, the results of time period
and storey displacement shows the significant variation. While analyzing for “Non-linear
static analysis the performance point for the FEC is significantly much more as compared to
the RCC model.
2.2.6 Shweta A. Wagh, Dr. U. P. Waghe (April 2014) [18]they did Comparative Study of
R.C.C and Steel Concrete Composite Structures. Steel solid composite development has
increased wide acknowledgment worldwide as an other option to unadulterated steel and
unadulterated solid development. In this paper investigation of four different multi-storeyed
business structures i.e. G+12, G+16, G+20, G+24 are examined by utilizing STAAD-Pro
programming. Where plan and cost estimation is done utilizing MS-Excel programming and
from acquired outcome correlation can be made amongst R.C.C and composite structure.
They reason that composite basic framework demonstrated more efficient if there should
arise an occurrence of tall structures and quality and serviceability criteria are fulfilled
completely.
2.2.8 Mr. Nitish A. Mohite, Mr. P.K.Joshi, Dr. W. N. Deulkar (October 2015) [17] they
did Comparative Analysis of RCC and Steel-Concrete-Composite (B + G + 11 Story)
Building. Steel-solid composite structures are framed by interfacing the steel pillars with
solid piece or profiled deck section with the assistance of mechanical shear connectors so
chunk and bar go about as a solitary unit. In this paper, choices of development of
(B+G+11storey) business building, arranged in Kolhapur, with steel-solid composite and
RCC are contemplated and contrasted and each other. Identical straight Static Method of
Analysis clarified in ETABS variant 15 programming is utilized and comes about are looked
at for changed parameters. Near parameter incorporates rooftop diversions, base shear, story
floats, for the building and hub powers and twisting minutes for segment's and bars at various
level. It is watched that steel-solid composite building is observed to be more sheltered and
temperate and better choice.
2.2.9 Deepak M Jirage, Prof. V.G. Sayagavi, Prof. N.G. Gore (September 2015)
[16]Steel-solid composite frameworks for structures are shaped by interfacing the steel pillar
to the solid chunk or profiled deck piece with the assistance of mechanical shear connectors
so they go about as a solitary unit. In the present work steel solid composite with RCC
choices are considered for relative investigation of G+20 story building which is arranged in
quake zone-IV and for tremor stacking, the arrangements of IS: 1893 (Part1)- 2002 is
considered. A 3D Modelling and examination of the structure are done with the assistance of
ETAB programming. They found that the base shear of Composite structure is lessened by
20% as contrasted and RCC structure. The hub compel in Composite structure is less as
contrast and RCC by 18%, in light of the fact that the self wt. of the RCC structure is more.
The day and age of Composite is more as contrast with RCC. Time required for development
of composite structure is less as contrast and RCC structure in light of the fact that no frame
work is required. When all is said in done, composite structure demonstrated more prudent.
2.2.10Varsha Patil, Shilpa Kewate (August 2015) [9]RCC and steel are the materials that
are for the most part utilized as a part of the confining framework for the majority of the
building. Steel individuals have the benefits of high elasticity and flexibility, while solid
individuals have the upsides of high compressive quality and solidness. Composite
individuals join steel and cement, bringing about a part that has the helpful characteristics of
the two materials. The examination depends on basic conduct of Composite, RCC and Steel
structure when subjected to seismic tremor. In this RCC, steel and composite materials are
considered for near investigation of G+5 story business building which is arranged in seismic
tremor zone III, The arrangements of IS:1893 (Part 1) is considered. A 3D demonstrating and
investigation of the structure are done with the assistance of ETABS 2013 programming.
Comparable static investigation and Response range examination are done on every one of
the three structures. The outcomes are analyzed as far as base shear, Lateral power
circulation, most extreme removal, Time period and recurrence, and found that composite
structure gives better execution contrast with RCC and steel.
2.2.12 Prasad Kolhe, Prof. Rakesh Shinde (May 2015) [14]Time History Analysis (THA)
is a well ordered investigation of the dynamic reaction of a non straight structure to a
predetermined stacking that may fluctuate with time. In this, time history of agent tremor is
utilized to decide the seismic reaction of a structure under unique stacking. In this work steel
segments and composite areas (steel + concrete) are considered for similar investigation of
skyscraper private working in seismic tremor zone IV. For investigation reason Time History
Method is utilized. In this work same arrangement is utilized for examination. Load mixes
are taken from IS code. After investigation they presume that Composite casing has the most
reduced estimations of story float in light of its firmness. The distinctions in story float for
various stories along X and Y course are attributable to introduction of segment segments.
Snapshots of dormancy of segment areas are distinctive in the two bearings. Base shear gets
decreased by 10% for Steel outline in contrast with the Composite casing.
2.2.13 Vaishali Ambe, Dr. Savita Maru (January 2015) [13]they did analysis of G+26
multi-story unsymmetrical building using the STAAD Pro V8i. Software with the different
load combination as recommended by IS Code have been taken into consideration.
Identification of maximum bending moment at beam and column are evaluated. Based on the
output of the analysis further design part related to building has been performed. Further the
study and design of same building with the same load combinations were conducted based on
Steel- Concrete Composite Structure manually. The results of both types of framed structure
were studies conducted theoretically and compared. It has been observed the Steel – Concrete
Composite Structure is found to be more economical as compared to regular conventional
RCC structure during Costing. But While after performing the Life cycle cost analysis it has
been found that the Composite Structure proved more economical.
2.2.15 Aniket Sijaria, Prof. Anubhav Rai , Prof Y.K. Bajpai (June– 2014) [8] they did
Planning, Analysis, Design & Cost Comparison of an Institutional Building with steel-
concrete composite construction. The proposition structure is a G+5 building (56.3 m x
31.94m) With 3.658 m as the tallness of each floor. The Analysis and configuration includes
the structure arranging, stack computation, investigation it by 2D demonstrating utilizing
STAAD-Pro 2003, outline of composite floors and sections, plan of steel bars and outline of
establishment. Examination has been improved the situation different load mixes including
seismic load, wind stack, and so forth according to the IS Code of Practice. The undertaking
additionally includes examination and outline of a proportional R.C.C. structure with the goal
that a cost correlation can be made between a steel-solid composite structure and an equal
R.C.C. structure. After definite examination they come to realize that the structure having
composite bar is demonstrated 82.36% more temperate than the RCC pillar.
2.2.16 Mahesh Suresh Kumawat, L G Kalurkar (May 2014) [4] modelled G+9 story
commercial building (24 m X 36 m)made with RCC and composite material which is
situated in earthquake zone-III and for earthquake loading, the provisions of IS: 1893 (Part1)-
2002 is considered. A 3D modelling and analysis of the structure are carried out with the help
of SAP 2000 software. After analysis….
2.2.17 Bhavin H. Zaveri, Jasmin A. Gadhiya, Hitesh K. Dhameliya (January 2016) [18]they
did Comparative Study of Steel, RCC and Composite Building. This paper shows comparison of
various aspects of building construction for steel, RCC as well as composite buildings, they
come to know that Overall response of composite structure is better than RCC structure i.e.
composite structure produces less displacement and resists more structural forces. Composite
structures are best solution for high rise buildings and they are resulted in speedy construction.
Steel option is better than RCC but the composite option for high rise building is best. Steel has
excellent resistance to tensile loading but prone to buckling and concrete gives more resistance to
compressive force. Steel can be used to induce ductility and concrete can be used for corrosion
and fire protection. Composite structures are resulted into lighter construction than traditional
concrete construction as well as speedy construction. So, completion period of composite
building is less than RCC building.
2.2.18 Anamika Tedia, Dr. Savita Maru (Jan. 2014) [10] Steel-solid composite
development implies steel area encased in concrete for sections and the solid piece or
profiled deck chunk is associated with the steel pillar with the assistance of mechanical shear
connectors so they go about as a solitary unit..Steel-solid composite with R.C.C. alternatives
are considered for near investigation of G+5 story office working with 3.658 m stature,
which is arranged in seismic tremor zone III(Indore)& wind speed 50 m/s. The general
arrangement measurement of the building is 56.3 m x 31.94 m. Comparable Static Method of
Analysis is utilized. For displaying of Composite and R.C.C. structures, STAAD-expert
programming is utilized and the outcomes are analyzed; and it is discovered that composite
structure more prudent. In this, the cost correlation uncovers that Steel-Concrete composite
outline structure is all the more expensive, decrease in coordinate expenses of steel-
composite structure coming about because of rapid erection will influence Steel-to solid
Composite structure monetarily suitable. Further, under seismic tremor contemplations in
view of the intrinsic pliability attributes, Steel-Concrete structure will perform superior to a
customary R.C.C. structure.
2.2.20 Nitin m. Warade1, P. J. Salunke (December, 2013) [3] this paper deals with the
study of composite structure as compare with the concrete and steel structure. The composite
structure is far more advantageous over steel and concrete structure regarding Strength,
Costs, and Time Period requirements. There is no requirement for formwork on the grounds
that the steel shaft can manage the self weight of steel and cement, without anyone else's
input or with the help of a couple of transitory props. Additionally this paper manages the
outline of composite working with settled base. In this paper seismic investigation of a multi
level auto stop is influenced utilizing distinctive development material, to like Concrete,
Structural steel and Composite of Structural Steel and Concrete. Impact of each building is
examined as for day and age, base shear, add up to dead load and most essential cost of
various plans
In all the options the values of story displacements are within the permissible limits as per
code limits. Steel and composite structure gives greater pliability to the structure when
contrasted with the R.C.C. which is most appropriate under the impact of parallel powers.
Add up to sparing in the composite alternative when contrasted with the R.C.C. brings about
10 % so as with Steel it will be 6-7%.
Chapter 3 Aspect of composite structure
3.1 Introduction
In India RCC is mostly adopted for construction of building or other type of structure. The other
options those are available is steel and Composite structure. But because of lake of the guidance
and technique they are not prevalent in India. RCC structures are quite heavy and therefore
foundation sizes and cost is more. Also it requires good quality control at the site for good
construction.
Steel is widely used in framing, flooring, walling and roofing in residential/commercial Building
of single/multi-storey construction. Steel has long been the building material of Choice for
commercial construction in view of the high strength to weight ratio, ductility and stability.
Recyclability and recycled content are another factor that has moved to the forefront of benefits.
Greater Clear spans and fewer internal load bearing walls &columns are possible in steel
buildings. Steel is 100 % recyclable and can be recycled again and again with no loss in quality,
which greatly reduces the amount of energy to produce steel from virgin materials. Also steel
framed buildings have the potential to be easily strengthened, adjusted, extended, unbolted and
reassembled, modified. Repaired and reused. Steel structures can be pre-fabricated in controlled
environment to help eliminate site waste. Also the Steel construction is fart compared to
conventional RCC construction and thus offers early occupation of the premises with reduced
burden of entering construction.
Steel structures have been able to withstand severe earthquake without collapse, owing to their
intrinsic ductility and also due to high strength to weight ratio. A major consideration in the
seismic performance of steel structure is stability limit state. As most of steel structural member
are made up of plate like element stability of each such element is necessary to get hysteretic
performance. Most of failure in the steel structure is in form of local buckling. In addition to this
fracture of welds due to stress concentration.
The main aim of earthquake resistant design of steel structure is to get stable post yield behavior
of the structure.
3.2 Composite Structures
Composite construction in steel and concrete combines the better properties of both concrete and
steel and the same time satisfies the requirement of cost effective and speedy construction. This
system of construction has been very successfully applied in North America, United Kingdom,
Japan, Australia, Gulf States and in many other countries.
Key features of this system are the use of steel frames with steel decking both as permanent
formwork and reinforcement to an in-situ concrete slab and to weld shear connectors through the
decking on site.
Composite construction practice is still in a very nascent stage in India and so its effectiveness
and applicability must be tested in Indian context. When we look at the scenario of composite
construction in India, efforts are underway for making beams in composite construction as
evidenced by Bureau of Indian Standards introducing a separate code. IS: 11384-1985. There are
organizations, which have taken interest in producing metal decking sheets suitable for
composite construction. Government on their Part has gone ahead approving a few. Bridges in
Kolkata & Delhi making use of this methodology of composite system fully is it in building
industry, or in infrastructure projects.
Most effective utilization of material viz. Concrete in compression and steel in tension.
High ductility of steel material leads to better seismic resistance of the composite section.
Quality of steel is assured since it is produced under controlled environment in the factory.
Larger use of steel in composite construction compared to that in RCC ensures better quality
control for the major part of the structure.
Cost effectiveness based on life cycle cost analysis because steel structure can be maintained
easily and less frequent repairmen is required for steel structure.
Keeping span / loading unaltered, smaller structural steel sections are required compared to non-
composite construction. Therefore reduction in overall weight of the composite structure
compared to the RCC construction result less foundation cost.
Cost of formwork is lower compared to RCC construction.
Cost of handling and transportation is minimized because major part of the structure is fabricated
in workshop.
The steel and steel concrete composite construction is more resistant against terrorist activities as
compared to RCC construction.
Composite sections have higher stiffness and hence experience less deflection than the non-
composite steel sections.
Reduction in overall weight of structure compared to RCC construction is possible and thereby
reducing the foundation cost.
Steel beam continuous through joint avoids welding at location of maximum forces.
Shear connectors are fundamental for steel solid composite development as they incorporate
the pressure limit of upheld solid chunk with supporting steel pillars/braces to enhance the
heap conveying limit and in addition general unbending nature. In spite of the fact that steel
to solid bond may enable shear to exchange between the two to certain degree, yet it is
dismissed according to the code due to its vulnerability. All codes along these lines,
determine positive connectors at the interface of steel and concrete.mn is not as much as the
region involved by the RCC section.
The best fibre of the base pillar experiences slip in respect to the base fibre of the best bar.
The slip strain is most extreme at mid traverse and slip and slip is zero while at bolsters slip
strain is zero while slip is greatest.
Fig 3.1 slip and slip strain
Uplift
Vertical separation between the members occurs if the loading is applied at lower edge of beam.
The torsion stiffness of reinforced concrete slab forming flanges of the composite beam with and
tri axial state of stress in vicinity of shear connector also tend to cause uplift at the interface.
As appeared in fig. On the off chance that the flexural unbending nature of AB is bigger even by
10% than that of CD, the entire load on AB is exchanged to CD at An and B with a partition of
the bars between these two focuses. in the event that AB Was associated with CD, there will be
Uplift powers at mid traverse. This exhibits shear connectors are to be planned to offer insurance
from slip and furthermore raise.
The aggregate shear constrain at the interface between a solid section and steel shaft is roughly
eight times the aggregate load conveyed by the bar. Subsequently, mechanical shear connectors
are required at the steel-solid interface. These connectors are intended to (a) transmit longitudinal
shear along the interface, and (b) avert partition of steel bar and solid section at the interface.
In this way, mechanical shear connectors are given to transmit the flat shear between the steel
bar and the solid chunk, overlooking the impact of any bond between the two. It also resists
uplift force acting at the steel concrete interface. Commonly used types of shear connectors as
per IS: 11384 - 1985: Code of practice for composite construction in structural steel and
concrete, are illustrated in Fig.
There are three primary sorts of shear connectors; inflexible shear connectors, adaptable shear
connectors and safe haven shear connectors. These are explained below:
As the name suggests, these connectors are solid and they manage just a little twisting while at
the same time opposing the shear drive. They get their protection from bearing, weight on the
solid, and flop because of smashing of cement. Short bars, points, T-segments are regular cases
of this sort of connectors. Additionally dock gadgets like hooped bars are appended with these
connectors to avoid vertical detachment. This type of connectors is shown in Fig 2.4
Adaptable shear connectors comprise of headed studs, channels or tees welded to the best spine
of the steel pillars go under this class. They determine their anxiety protection through twisting
and experience vast distortion before disappointment. Run of the mill adaptable connectors are
appeared in Fig 2.4. The stud connectors are the sorts utilized widely. The shank and the weld
neckline contiguous steel shaft oppose the shear loads though the head opposes the elevate.
Anchorage type Shear Connectors is used to resist longitudinal shear and prevent separation of
the beam / girder from the concrete slab at the interface through bond. In this case, mild steel
inclined rods or steel rods in the form of helical stirrups are welded on the top flange of the steel
beam.
Fig. 3.3 typical shear connectors as per IS: 11384
Deformation of connectors
If the shear connection provided is complete, failure will depend on the bending strength at the
maximum moment zone of a simply supported beam or in case of a continuous beam at the
support locations. But, if the number of connectors provided at the steel-concrete interface is not
sufficient to enable the beam to achieve its full bending strength, failure will depend on the shape
of load/slip diagram of the connectors and the span of the beam and the method of construction.
The Design strength of some commonly used shear connectors as per IS: 11384-1985 is given in
table 3.1. as per the clause 9.6 of IS: 11384-1985 the spacing of connectors should not be greater
than 600 mm. The distance between the edge of the connector and the edge of the plate or flange
to which it is connected shall not be less than 25 mm.
Table 3.1 design strength of shear connectors for different concrete strength
3.3.2 Composite beam
The connection in the composite beam is considered to be complete if the bending resistance, not
the horizontal shear resistance decides the resistance of the composite beam. Finish or
fragmented cooperation between the solid piece and the steel segment brings about an all the
more firm or less-hardened composite bar. Fragmented cooperation emerges when adaptable
connectors are utilized and slip (relative uprooting) happens at the steel solid interface.
Composite creases are regularly outlined under the suspicion that the un-propped steel shaft
bolsters the heaviness of the auxiliary steel and wet cement in addition to development loads. It
might, along these lines, be chosen for reasons of economy to give just adequate connectors to
grow enough composite activity to help the heaps connected a while later.
This approach brings about extensively less number of connectors than are required to empower
the most extreme bowing protection of the composite pillar to be come to. In any case, the
utilization of such incomplete shear association brings about diminished protection and
solidness.
Degree of interaction
At the point when no slip happens between the Concrete chunk and the supporting steel shaft, it
is named as full association. As it were, the point at which the twisting quality of a bar does not
increment with the expansion of further Connectors at the steel-solid interface, it is viewed as
that the entire shear association has been accomplished. By and by some slip will dependably
happen and the term full communication is utilized where it is viewed as that the impacts of slip
between the solid rib and steel bar might be ignored in the outline. Fractional collaboration infers
that slip happens at the interface between the solid spine and the steel shaft, and thus it causes a
brokenness of strain that must be considered in the investigation.
In halfway shear association the quantity of connectors gave is not as much as that required to
accomplish finish shear association Partial shear association ought not be considered as
unacceptable for the reason for which they are given. In spite of the fact that not passable
according to Indian Standard, fractional shear association is of intrigue where the twisting quality
of the specific pillar require not be completely used.
The investigation of composite area is influenced utilizing Limit to condition of fall strategy. IS:
11384-1985 code manages the outline and development of just basically upheld composite
pillars. In this manner, the technique for configuration recommended in EC 4 is likewise alluded
alongside IS: 11384.
Section Classification
A definitive quality of composite area is resolved from its plastic limit, gave the components of
the steel cross segment don't fall in the semi-minimized or thin class. The serviceability is
checked utilizing flexible investigation, as the structure will stay versatile under Service
stacking. Full shear association guarantees that full minute limit of the area creates. In
incomplete shear association, albeit full minute limit of the pillar can't be accomplished, the
outline should be satisfactory to [resist the connected stacking. This plan is now and again
favoured because of economy accomplished through the lessened number of shear connectors to
be welded at site.
Areas are ordered relying upon their minute pivot attributes. Nearby clasping of components of a
steel area decreases its ability. In light of nearby clasping, the capacity of an I spine or web to
oppose pressure relies upon its slimness, spoke to by its thickness proportion. The impact of
neighbourhood clasping is along these lines dealt with in configuration, by constraining the
thinness proportion of the components i.e. web and pressure spine. The codes likewise the
𝐛
constraining width-thickness proportion𝛃 = for [component plates, which enables the
𝐭
Traverse to profundity proportion confinements for which the serviceability criteria will be
regarded to be fulfilled by EC4 given in table
A composite bar goes about as a T-bar with the solid section as its spine. The bowing worry in
the solid spine is found to fluctuate along the broadness of the rib as in Fig 3.6, because of the
shear slack impact. This wonder is considered by supplanting the genuine broadness of rib (B)
with a powerful expansiveness (biff), to such an extent that the region FGHIJ almost measures
up to the region ACDE. Research in light of flexible hypothesis has demonstrated that the
proportion of the viable expansiveness of chunk to genuine broadness (biff/B) is an element of
the kind of stacking, bolster condition, and the area under thought. For configuration reason a
part of the bar traverse (20% - 33%) is taken as the viable expansiveness of the piece.
In EC4, the effective breadth of simply supported beam is taken as lo/8 on each side of the steel
web, but not greater than half the distance to the next adjacent web. For simply supported beam
lo = l Therefore,
l
beff = But ≤ B

Where,
lo = The effective span taken as the distance between points of zero moments.
l = Actual span
Modular ratio is the ratio of elastic modulus of steel (Es) to the time dependent secant modulus
of concrete (E.) While evaluating stress due to long term loading (dead load etc.) the time
dependent secant modulus of concrete should be used. This takes into account the long-term
effects of creep under sustained loading. The values of elastic modulus of concrete under short
term loading for different grades of concrete are given in Table 2.
IS: 11384 - 1985 has recommended a particular proportion of 15 for live load and 30 for dead
load, for versatile investigation of segment. It is to be noticed that a higher estimation of
measured proportion for dead load considers the bigger crawl strain of cement for supported
stacking. In EC 4 the versatile modulus of cement for long haul loads is taken as 33% of the
fleeting worth and for typical weight concrete, the secluded proportion is taken as 6.5 for here
and now stacking and 20 for long haul stacking.
Partial safety factor for loads and materials – The suggested partial safety factors for load, γf and
for materials, γm are shown in Table 3.3 as per the proposed revision to IS: 800 & IS: 456- 2000.

Composite floors utilizing profiled sheet decking have turned out to be exceptionally prevalent in
the West for elevated structures. Composite deck sections are for the most part focused where the
solid floor must be finished rapidly and where medium level of flame assurance to steel work is
adequate. A normal composite floor framework utilizing profiled sheets is appeared in Fig. There
is directly no Indian standard covering the plan of composite floor framework utilizing profiled
sheeting.
In composite floors, the helper direct resembles an invigorated strong segment, with the steel
sheeting going about as the weight bolster. The essential fundamental and distinctive preferences
of using composite floors with profiled steel decking craftsmanship:
Stud shear connectors are perpetually utilized as a part of composite floors. Stud shear
connectors are welded through the sheeting on to the best spine of the shaft. Protection
prerequisites for flame as a rule control the section thickness over the profile. Thickness esteems
in the vicinity of 65 and 120 min are adequate to give a fire rating of up to 2 hours. Lightweight
cement is for the most part favoured in composite floors because of lessened weight on profiled
sheets and upgraded tire-protection.
The steel deck is regularly moved into the coveted profile from 22G (0.70 min) to 16G (1.6 mm)
excited loop. It is profiled to such an extent that the profile statures are for the most part in the
scope of 40-60 mm while higher profundity of 85 mm is likewise accessible. The run of the mill
trough width lies between .150 to 350 mm. For the most part, ranges of the request of 2.5 m to
3.5m between the shafts are picked and the pillars are intended to traverse between 6 m to 12 m.
There are two surely understood non specific sorts of profiles.
Dovetail profile
Trapezoidal profile with web indentations
Profiled deck shapes are picked in view of the capacity to improve the bond at the steel-solid
interface and giving dependability while supporting wet concrete and other development loads.
Spaces and bulges into the rib prepare the bearing protection notwithstanding attachment and
furthermore give the shear move in composite sections.
A composite part subjected chiefly to pressure and bowing is called as composite section. At
exhibit, there is no Indian Standard covering the plan of composite segments. The technique for
configuration recommended in this section to a great extent takes after EC4, which consolidates
the most recent research on composite development.
Indian Standards for composite development (IS: 11384-1985) does not make a particular
reference to composite sections. The arrangements Contained in IS: 456 - 2000 are regularly
summoned for plan of composite structures.
The solid and steel are consolidated in such a design, to the point that the benefits of both the
materials are used successfully in composite segment. There are many points of interest related
1%ith the utilization of steel-solid composite segments: little cross-areas, for instance, can be
intended to withstand high loads; likewise. Areas with various protections, But indistinguishable
outer measurements can be created by differing steel region, solid quality and extra support.
Fig 3.9 typical cross section of composite columns and notation
In this manner the external measurement of a segment can be held consistent over various floors
in a building, disentangling structural itemizing. Additionally steel-solid composite individuals
help to enhance the imperviousness to fire. A steel-solid composite segment comprises of either
a solid. encased hot-moved steel segment or a solid filled tubular area of hot-moved steel and is
for the most part utilized as a heap bearing part in a composite surrounded structure.
In a composite segment both the steel and cement would oppose the outside, stacking by
communicating together by security and rubbing. Extra support in the solid encasement
counteracts unreasonable spelling of cement both under typical load and fire conditions.
Amid development, exposed steel segments bolster the underlying development loads, including
the heaviness of structure amid development. Concrete is later thrown around the steel segment,
or worked inside the tubular segments. The lighter weight and higher quality of steel allow the
utilization of littler and lighter establishments. The consequent solid expansion empowers the
building edge as far as possible the influence and horizontal avoidances.
By utilizing composite sections, the speed of development can be expanded and it is conceivable
to erect the structures in most productive way with noteworthy monetary focal points over either
unadulterated auxiliary steel ci fortified solid choices.
Aside from speed and economy, the accompanying other critical points of interest can be
accomplished. Increased strength for a given cross sectional dimension.
•Identical cross areas with various load and minute protections can be created by shifting steel
thickness.

E tabs software is exclusively made for modeling, analysis and design of buildings. Various
facilities in the E tabs are listed below
E tabs provide object based modeling. it takes slab as area object, column, beam, brace as
a line object and support, mass, loads as point objects.
E tabs has feature known as similar story. By which similar stories can be edited and
modeled simultaneously. Due to which building is modeled very speedily.
E tab scan perform various P-delta, Response Spectrum, Static Non-linear, Time history,
Construction sequence and many more analysis with good graphics.
E tabs automates templates for typical structures like steel deck, waffle slab, flat stab,
Ribbed Slab etc.
E tabs can do optimization of steel section.
E tabs has a facility to design composite beam. Also composite deck can be modeled in E
tabs.
E tabs has powerful facility of Section designer. By which different types of composite
sections can be made easily.
For verification of software a G+5 story building example is taken from nice website. The results
of which are compared with the results of E tabs.

Above results indicates that E tabs result are well matched with the taken example result.
Beams and Columns are modeled as two nodded beam element with six degree of freedom at
each node.
Slab is modeled as four nodded shell element with six DOF at each node for RCC and
Membrane clement for steel and Composite structure. Shell element has both in plane and out of
plane stiffness while membrane element ha only out of plane stiffness.
4.4.1 FIXING OF MEMBER SIZES
First of all steel building, is modeled, and the section for the beam and column is assigned Auto
select section of universal standard sections. Auto select section is the range of the sections from
which E tabs selects optimum section by iteration for the given loading condition. After that
design of building is carried out as per Indian standard IS: 800-1998 using optimal section out of
given auto select section. And these sections are used for the steel building analysis. During
design of steel section grouping of column, main beam and secondary beam is done so that they
have similar sections Column is prepared in Section Designer.
For RCC structure beam and column dimensions are fixed by taking equivalent area of steel.
.Equivalent area is taken by multiplying steel section area by the modular i.e. ratio of elastic
modulus of steel and concrete.
For composite structure same procedure is followed as above. Main beam is prepared in Section
Designer in composite structure. The length of each beam is divided into small parts of lm
interval and connected with slab so as to get composite action.
Step 2: Select Code preference from option and then define material properties.
Step 3: Define Frame Section from Define menu like column, beam.
Concrete is taken of M 25 grade and steel of Fe 415 grade. Material properties are
assigned as below.
Column sections are made in section designer. Following fig. 5.6 shows the built up
column and composite column which are made in section designer of E tabs. Supports are
assigned as fixed support for main beam and pinned for secondary beam. Column is
continuous and fixed at end.
For RCC slab is modeled as membrane while for composite modeled as deck slab in E
tabs. Direction of deck is always transverse to the span. Slab and deck both are defined as
a rigid diaphragm.
Figure 4.6 steel columns in section designer
Static and dynamic analysis is performed on the building. In dynamic analysis first modal
analysis first modal analysis is performed by considering 20 numbers of modes.
Ritz vector method is applied for Eigen value calculation, because it gives more accurate
results. Ritz load factor are applied as acceleration in the X, Y, and Z direction.
The main difference between the equivalent static analysis and dynamic analysis lies in the
magnitude and distribution of lateral forces over the height of the building.
In the comparable parallel power method the extent of powers depends on an estimation of the
central time frame and on dissemination of powers, as given by basic equation in IS 1893-2002.
In the dynamic investigation technique the sidelong powers depend on the properties of the
normal vibration methods of the building, which are controlled by the dissemination of mass and
solidness over stature. The maximum sagging and hogging bending moment, shear force, axial
force of each column and beam are calculated and tabulated below.
Also Storey drift, Base shear distribution, seismic load, Storey displacement, time period are
tabulated and compared.
5.1 Storey shear, Storey moment, Storey displacement and storey stiffness
Seismic weight of the RCC, steel and composite building is 120888.58KN, 105529.92 KN, and 107
339.48 KN respectively. So, seismic weight of steel building is 12.70 %, 11.20 % lower than seismic
weight of the RCC building.
Seismic weight of the building is calculated by considering self weight of slab, column, beam, floor finish,
wall and 50% of live load.

Stiffness is calculated by assuming that supports are fixed and load is applied at the floor level.
Horizontal displacement is measured at floor level and lateral stiffness is calculated by dividing
horizontal deflection to lateral load. In other words stiffness is the force needed to cause unit

5.2 Time Period, Frequency and Storey Drift
Time period play role in selecting the method of analysis. For flexible structure whose time
period is more response is governed by the ground velocity. The stiffer structure has lesser
natural period and their response is governed by the ground acceleration; most buildings fall in
this category. The flexible structures have larger natural period and their response is governed by
the ground displacement, for example, large span bridges.

5.2.2 Storey drift
Storey drift is the drift of one level of a multi-storey building relative to the level below. Inter-
story drift is the difference between the roof and floor displacements of any given storey as the
building sways during the earthquake, normalized by the storey height. Drift is defined as the
lateral displacement. For example, for a 10-foot high story, an inter story drift of 0.10 indicates
that the roof is displaced one foot in relation to the floor below.
Storey drift is directly related to the stiffness of the structure. The higher the stiffness lowers the
drift and higher the lateral loads on structure.

Fig 5.13 storey drift for static and dynamic analysis in y direction
Peck ground acceleration (PGA) is the maximum acceleration of the ground in the given
direction of the ground shaking. Means acceleration of mass relative to the base can be
determined by PGA.
The static and dynamic analysis of steel, RCC and composite building shows that dynamic
analysis not only gives better understanding of the structural behavior but also following
conclusion remarks can be made.
1) RCC building has maximum seismic weight. Steel and composite building has 12.70 %
and 11.21% lesser seismic weight than RCC.
2) Composite building has average 14% and steel building has average 18% lower storey
shear than RCC building.
3) As RCC structure has less flexible structure, RCC structure has maximum Storey
stiffness. The storey stiffness of steel building is 26% and composite building is 23% less
as compare to RCC building.
4) Higher the stiffness; displacement will less. Steel building has a highest storey
displacement. Steel building has 26% and composite building has 22% more storey
displacement then the RCC building.
5) Storey drift is directly related to the stiffness of the structure. The higher the stiffness;
lowers the drift. With the view to this, steel building has maximum storey drift. As
compare to RCC building; steel building has 43.54% and 30.35% more storey drift.
6) As far as RCC building is considered, it is relatively stiff and it has less time period. So,
RCC building has minimum time period as compare to other two type buildings. Steel
building has 15.77% and composite building has 2% more time period.
7) Modal participation factor shows that mass is contributing majorly in first four mode
higher mode contribution is negligible in structure.
8) Steel building has higher peck ground acceleration (PGA) than composite.
9) From the element sections we can conclude that composite structure not only gives
reduced dead weight but also gives reduced dimension. This allows more working space
and clear headroom.
10) When dynamic analysis is performed average storey shear is decreased by 33%, 27% and
23% for RCC, steel and composite building respectively.
11) When dynamic analysis is done average storey displacement is decreased by 26.91%,
27.94%, and 24.08% for RCC, steel and composite building respectively.
12) When dynamic analysis is done average storey drift is decreased by 38%.
Dynamic analysis reduces storey shear, storey displacement, storey drift etc; this shows
that dynamic analysis gives improved estimate of forces and therefore analysis of
building become more accurate as well as economical.
For good seismic performance a building should have adequate lateral stiffness. Low
lateral stiffness leads to large deformation and strains, damage to nonstructural
component, discomfort to occupant.
Stiff structure though attracts the more seismic force but performed better during past
earthquake as per is: 1893(part-I).
The cross section area of element and amount of steel is reduced in composite structure.
And therefore foundation cost will reduce. And therefore composite structure is one of
the best options for construction of multistory building as well as for earthquake
resistance structure.
