Economic and Functional Feasibility of Concrete and Steel Composite Column Building Structure

Abstract

Modern day construction is widely influenced using Steel-Concrete composite columns. The rapid growth in Steel-Concrete composite construction has significantly reduced the use of conventional Reinforced Cement Concrete (R.C.C) as well as other steel construction practices. Steel-Concrete composite construction gained an extensive receiving around the globe. Considering the fact that R.C.C construction is most suitable and economic for low-rise construction so it is used in framing system in most structures. However; increased dead load, span restriction, less stiffness and risky formwork makes R.C.C construction uneconomical and not suitable when it comes to intermediate to high-rise buildings. One Basement and 11 storeys existing building has been analyzed and comparison has been made between R.CC structure and concrete steel composite columns. Equivalent Static non -linear analysis was performed in X and Y direction by using Etabs 2017 software which results that encased composite columns construction cost is more than R.

Research on the Mechanical Properties of Some New Aluminum Alloy Composite Structures in Construction Engineering

“…Under the influence of social development and economic progress, the construction of architectural engineering has also progressed, and wood structures, steel structures, and various composite structures have been widely used. 1) However, wood structures are prone to flammability and moisture damage, 2) while steel structures are susceptible to corrosion, 3) both of which have some shortcomings in terms of usage and maintenance. Therefore, finding new and reliable materials has become an important issue in construction engineering.…”
