    Thermal stresses induced by temperature variation can be comparable or exceed stresses from other loads like dead and live loads if there is little insulation. Most research focuses on temperature effects on concrete shrinkage and creep but few examine impacts on full structures. There is a need to compare temperature effects on different materials, geometries, and support conditions. Determining the proportion of temperature stresses to other stresses like gravity, wind, or earthquake stresses would help establish temperature loading significance for designers. The proposed work aims to define a standard approach for designing buildings under thermal loading using finite element software ETABS. Models of different structures will be analyzed to determine temperature stress components relative to total stresses from other actions.

    SYNOPSIS

    Title of thesis: - Effect of the temperature variation on building structures

    The thermal stresses can be comparable or even exceed in magnitude the stresses
    induced by the live and dead loading in case of no or little thermal insulation and could
    lead to severe damages if not considered during the design phase. Most of researches are
    concentrated in studying the temperature effect in correlation with shrinkage and creep on
    concrete elements. Few researches are extended to study the thermal response of a
    complete structure (bridge) due to seasonal temperature.
    There is a need to establish a comparative study for thermal effects on various
    structures having different materials, geometry and support conditions. There is also a
    need to determine a component of temperature stresses in proportion with the stresses due
    to other loads such as gravity, wind or earthquake for various types of structures. This will
    establish the significance of temperature loading among the designers and the effects of
    temperature variation will always be considered in the design by building planners and
    designers.
    The objectives of proposed work are to define a standard approach for designing of
    buildings subjected to thermal actions. It is proposed to use the finite element software
    ‘ETABS’ as a tool for this study. The results of ETABS will be validated using manual
    calculations for a 2-D frame subjected to temperature loading. Aanalytical models using
    ETABS will be developed for different model structures (first for RCC G + 5 building and
    later by changing criteria like plan dimensions, number of storeys, material, support
    conditions etc.) The effects of temperature variation will be compared for different model
    structures to determine the component of temperature stresses in the structural elements
    with respect to total stress due to other actions.
