NON-LINEAR SEISMIC EVALUATION OF COMPOSITE STRUCTURES (RCS SYSTEM)

Abstract

Due to the speed of installation, material cost reductions, and improved lateral load resistance and performance, the composite reinforced concrete column-steel beam (RCS) frame system was first used in high-rise construction in the United States as perimeter moment framing. Traditional RCS frame construction is discussed, as well as its benefits, prior research, and beam-column joint problems. The concept of employing this type of architecture for three-dimensional space frames is then explored, with past research on the performance of these systems in high-risk zones described. We created an experimental and analytical examination of composite RCS frame systems in collaboration with structural specialists for low- to mid-rise building in locations are highly vulnerable to high-level wind storms or to moderate seismic risk. New beam column joint connection details are given that are both cost-effective and constructible. Reinforced concrete structures are commonly utilized in India because they are the most practical and cost-effective technique for low-rise buildings. With increase in the magnitude of dead load, span restriction, insubstantial stiffness and complex formwork, such structures do not have adequate strength for medium to high-rise buildings. As a result, a time-saving and cost-effective design solution is required. Because of the intricacy of its research and design technique, steel concrete composite construction is not commonly used.
