Executive Summary : | Steel-concrete composite buildings have gained popularity in recent years as a result of their inherent benefits over conventional concrete and steel constructions. While concrete structures are larger, have a higher seismic weight, and exhibit less deflection, steel structures exhibit more deflection and ductility, which makes them more resistant to earthquake pressures. Composite building combines the superior qualities of steel and concrete with cost savings, speed of construction, and fire safety, to mention a few benefits. Similarly, concrete, the second most essential structural material after water, accounts for around 8% to 10% of the cement industry's total CO2 emissions. As a result of the environmental reduction of CO2 emissions, the concept of green concrete has evolved. Ferrock is a blend of 60% iron dust, 20% fly ash, 12% metakaolin, and 8% limestone that may be used in lieu of OPC and is the best cement substitute in concrete. Thus, the goal of this study is to determine the seismic performance of Rcc, steel, and steel composite building columns in defined seismic zones throughout India. Each column is designed to endure identical gravitational forces. Numerous experiments have been conducted and compared to conventional concrete using ferrock as a partial replacement for cement. The compressive strength of concrete and the shape of the encased steel segment under seismic force were the study's major criteria. RCC, steel, and a steel-concrete composite material are used to manufacture column sections. Seismic analysis incorporates both static and response spectrum approaches. The data is generated and compared using the SAP 2000 application. Material pricing determines the cost effectiveness of all types of construction frames. Additionally, an analytical investigation was conducted utilising ANSYS software on both conventional concrete composite beams and ferrock concrete composite beams. |
