A Review Study on Dynamic Analysis of Multistoreyed Buildings by using Seismostruct Software
Abstract: Civil Engineering structures are designed to withstand environmental forces like earthquake, along with gravity loads. These forces are random and dynamic in nature. Therefore the response of the structure is also dynamic and that is what causes the unsafe and uncomfortable conditions. So, performance based analysis of the structure is required which can be achieved by Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) as well as Response Spectrum analysis (RSA). But, Incremental dynamic …

Analysis of RC Frames Using Different Bracing Systems in Different Positions and Zones
Abstract: Structures are mainly built to enhance the performance of several activities like recreation, transportation, power generation, etc. They are built to sustain the loads coming on them during their service life by carrying adequate strength and also limit the deformation by possessing enough stiffness. Strength of a structure depends mainly upon the characteristics of material with which it is constructed. Stiffness is dependent upon the cross-sectional and geometrical properties of …

Comparison of Conventional RCC Columns, Steel Columns and Composite Columns
Abstract: Worldwide, the steel industry is expanding almost everywhere. Compared to the USA, EU, and other developed nations, India uses less steel in the construction industry. Additionally, India's cities have some of the highest population densities per square kilometre, which limits horizontal construction growth and favours vertical development. Steel structures are more ductility and can undergo more deflections while concrete structures are larger and attracts more seismic weight. Hybrid construction combines …
