 INTRODUCTION

What is a Composite Structure?

A composite structure is a combination of both load bearing as
well as framed structure. this is known as composite . In this type
of structure external walls are treated as load bearing walls and all
intermediate supports are in the form of R.C.C columns.

Structural Components
The primary structural components use in composite
construction consists of the following elements
 Composite Deck Slab
 Composite Beam
 Composite Column

 INTRODUCTION

Composite Steel Deck Slab: It comprises of profile steel deck

which act as the permanent formwork as well as the
transverse reinforcement. Embossments are provided in
order to make bond between the concrete and the profile
sheet deck.
Composite Beam: Steel Concrete Composite beam is generally
of structural steel member over the concrete slab or profile deck
slab is placed. Shear connectors provides the adequate connection
to the slab and the structural steel.

 INTRODUCTION

Composite Column: The Steel Concrete Composite

Column is a compression member by which the steel
element is a structural member. There are three types of
composite columns used in practice which are Concrete
Encased, Concrete filled, Battered Section.

Shear Connector: Shear connections are essential for

steel concrete construction as they integrate the
compression capacity of supported concrete slab with Various Types Composite Columns: concrete
supporting steel beams / girders to improve the load encased steel (CES) (a), CFST (b), combination of
carrying capacity as well as overall rigidity. CES and CFST (c), hollow CFST sections (d) and
There are three main types of shear connectors: double skin sections
•Rigid Shear Connectors
•Flexible Shear Connectors

•Anchorage Shear Connectors

 SCOPE OF STUDY

In the present work, steel-concrete composite and R.C.C.

options are considered for comparative study of G+30
storey commercial building in different Earthquake
zones. For Earthquake loading the provisions of IS: 1893
(Part1)-2016. Three different types of model is made in
this research one for RCC, and remaining two for Steel
Concrete Composite Structure with two different types of
columns such as encased column and Concrete filled
tubes. Equivalent Static Method of Analysis and
Response Spectrum Analysis are used. A three
dimensional modeling and analysis of the structure are
carried out with the help of SAP software. The results are
compared to find which structure is more economical.

 AIM

To study the behavior of the building under

seismic condition in composite with respect
to R.C.C.

To study the deflection, story drift, base

shear, stiffness in composite with respect to
R.C.C.

7
OBJECTIVES

To study the performance of building during

an earthquake depends upon several factors
like stiffness, ductility, lateral strength and
simple and regular configuration.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

There is a considerable research work has been done in the direction of comparative
study of R.C.C and Composite structures.

 Nitin M. Warade and P.J. Salunke submitted a research paper “Comparative

Study of Analysis and Design of Composite Structure. [11] In which five models
(G+6,G+7,G+8,G+9,G+10) were modeled and analyzed using ETABS software. And
in the results they have noticed that base shear of composite building was decreased
than normal RCC building and increased than steel building, which indicates that with
increase in the stiffness base shear also increases
 In research paper “Comparative Study of Analysis and Design of R.C. and Steel
Structures” [6] it is concluded that base shear in steel structure is less than the R.C.
structure because of the less seismic weight which gives better seismic response during
earthquake. In this paper for the frame analysis a 3-D model was prepared in ETABS
for the earthquake zone 5.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

Prof. Swapnil B. Cholekar and Basavalingappa S.M. had described that the Mass
Irregularity can affect all the parameters of storey drift, base shear, dead weight, shear force
and joint displacement during earthquake. They were compared for RCC and composite
structures in this paper. For the stability of the structure and less damage of the structure it is
very important to have uniform mass, stiffness, Simple-regular configuration. Mass irregularity
is given in the figure. Mass irregularity is an important factor which is to be considered while
designing multi-storey building. It is formed due to uneven distribution of mass, strength, and
stiffness.

Shashikala Koppad and Dr. S.V. Itti had published “Comparative study of RCC and
Composite Multi Storeyed Buildings” [3] in which they took a 3-D model in seismic zone 3
and analyzed it in STAAD.Pro V8i software. In this research paper they had concluded that
node displacement in composite structure is more as compared to RCC structure. This is
because the composite structure is more flexible as compared to RCC structure

 LITERATURE REVIEW
D.R. Panchal and P.M. Marathe had published “Comparative study of R.C.C,
Steel and Composite (G+30 storey)building” Shear forces in the secondary beams
are increased in steel structure and reduced in composite structure as compared to
RCC. In main beams, shear forces are increased in steel structure and reduced in
composite structure up to large extent as compared to RCC framed structure.

Rahul Pandey has submitted his thesis “Comparative seismic analysis of RCC,
Steel and Steel-concrete composite frame” [10] in which he had compared the
performance of a (G+7) storey RCC, Steel, and Composite building frame situated
in earthquake zone 5 using SAP2000 software. And the results were compared and the
conclusion about the storey drift was made that storey drift in X-direction was more
for steel frame as compared to composite and RCC frame.

Bhavin H. Zaveri , Jasmin A. Gadhiya , Hitesh K. Dhameliya had published “A
Review on the Comparitive study of steel, RCC and Composite Building” in
which they took the comparison of various aspects of building construction for
steel, RCC as well as composite buildings considering various researches. In this
research paper they had concluded that Overall response of composite structure is
better than RCC structure i.e. composite structure produces less displacement and
resists more structural forces.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

 Mohammed Imran, Shaik Abdulla, S.M.Hasmi had published "Comparitive

Analysis Of Reinforced Concrete & Composite Structures Subjected To Static
& Dynamic Loads " in which they took G+6, G+12, G+18 without shear wall and
G+18 with shear wall for reinforced concrete and composite structures arranged in
quake zone III and analysed in ETABS software. In this research paper they had
concluded that the beam moments in composite structures have reduced
considerably compared to that of R.C.C structures.
 Nileshkumar. V. Ganwani & S .S. Jamkar had published “Comparitive Study

in which they compared the performance of (G+5) Storey RCC and Steel-Concrete
composite building frame situated in Eathquake Zone IV using ETABS 2015
software and results are compared and concluded that the composite frames are
best suited among concrete constructions in terms of materials and weight with
better seismic behavior.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

M.C.Arun Prasad & Mrs.V.Preetha had Published "Analytical investigation

on RCC and steel-concrete composite multistorey building" in which they
took (G+9) storey in seismic Zone III and Zone IV and analysed using ETABS
2016 software. In this research paper they concluded that among the two seismic

Storey Shear.
