Comparative studies on seismic behavior of steel frame building: An experimental approach Jaykumar Bavarva1, Prof. Merool Vakil2 (1 Student, M.Tech Civil Engg., Gujarat Forensic Sciences University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India 2 Asst. Prof., Institute of Research Development, Gujarat Forensic Sciences University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India) Abstract: This study aimed to compare the seismic behaviour of different bracing systems in 10th time smaller real prototype steel building model. The uniaxial shake table experiment was carried out to assess the structural performance on different bracing systems in same storey height building (model type-I) and different storey height building (model type- II). Three structural configurations were used: bare frames (BFs), X- braced frames (XBFs) and Diagonal braced frames (DBFs). The effects of some parameters influencing the seismic performance, including the type of the bracing system, the storey height of the were investigated. The results show that the different braced frames performed well in terms of joint displacement and performance point when compared to the simple bare frame frame in steel buildings. It can be concluded with a comparative account of the obtained results, that use of XBF and DBF enhances structural performances. DBF shows highly effective and economical be cause of it consume lesser material and give effective result.

The multistory framed systems can be categorized as reinforced concrete (RC) frames, masonry-inï ¬ lled frames, and wall-frame system. The literature survey in this chapter highlights some of the previous experimental and analytical Work done on the seismic performance of existing and rehabilitated structuresRead MoreIncremental Dynamic Analyses Of Steel Moment Resisting Frames With Superelastic Viscous Dampers1205 Words   |  5 PagesIncremental Dynamic Analyses of Steel Moment Resisting Frames with Superelastic Viscous Dampers Baikuntha Silwal1, Osman E.

Recent literature has pointed out a need for greater understanding of the interaction of structural steel and reinforced concrete in such systems. In this paper, the behavior of composite beam-column connections is examined through results of an experimental research program where15 two-thirds scale jointRead MoreThe Influence Of Infill In Structural Structures706 Words   |  3 Pagesto investigate the contribution of masonry infill in enhancing the global stiffness and strength of reinforced concrete framed structures under seismic actions. The role of infill is igno red most of the time in the modeling due to lack of knowledge about the complex interaction between concrete frames and masonry (THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN INFILLED FRAMES NUMERICAL MODELS page 1 - introduction) also, due to the heterogeneous properties of the panel resulting from the composite materials (brick andRead MoreImportance Of Accounting For The Masonry2052 Words   |  9 Pagesintroduces the results of the nonlinear static and dynamic analyses for the existing and rehabilitated frames. The importance of accounting for the masonry inï ¬ ll in the analysis is also discussed. In this chapter, a comparative study was done on the performance of structures rehabilitated using different techniques, namely; (1) introducing a RC structural wall, (2) rehabilitating using X-steel bracings, (3) rehabilitating using FRP bracings, and (4) rehabilitating using FRP-conï ¬ nements. The importanceRead MoreConcrete Filled Tubular ( Cft ) Column1386 Words   |  6 PagesThe steel tube in a concrete filled tubular (CFT) column acts as both lateral and longitudinal reinforcement, and is thus subjected to hoop tension and biaxial stresses of longitudinal compression. At the same time, concrete is tri-axially stressed. Concrete filled tubular (CFT) column has become popular as structural-member in buildings due to their excellent performance for structural characteristics, which include high ductility, stiffness, and high strength. The advantages of the Concrete filledRead MoreEvolution of Skyscrapers2717 Words   |  11 PagesEVOLUTION OF HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS 1.Historical Development In High-Rise Buildings Ancient Skyscrapers - The Great Ziggurat of Babylon Perhaps the most impressive structure in the ancient Middle East, the Great Ziggurat of Babylon was built over a span of several decades in the Sixth Century BC. Its seven stories, built upon a square foundation, stretched 300 feet into the sky. Some think it was the inspiration for the infamous Tower of Babel in the Book of Genesis.

Based on fracture toughness values, steel is at least 100 times more resistant to crack growth than concrete. Concrete in service thus cracks easily, and this cracking creates easy access routes for deleterious agents resulting in early saturation, freeze-thaw damage, scaling, discoloration and steel corrosion. The concerns with the inferior fracture toughness of concrete are alleviated to a large extent by reinforcingRead MoreInnovative Building Materials3856 Words   |  16 PagesABSTRACT Latest innovations have developed new materials and better technologies in the field of construction.
