Abstract

In general normal frame construction utilizes columns, slabs & beams. However it may be possible to undertake construction without providing beams, in such a case the frame system would consist of slab and column without beams. These types of slabs are called Flat slab, since their behavior resembles the bending of at plates. These slab are directly rests on column and the load from the slabs is directly transferred to the columns and then to the foundation. Drops or columns are generally provided with column heads or capitals. The main aim of the project is to determine the Dynamic response of Flat slab with drop and without drop and Conventional Reinforced Concrete Framed Structures for different height with and without masonry infill wall.

  1. Introduction

    Reinforced concrete has been used for building construction since the middle of the 19th century, first for some parts of buildings, and then for the entire building structure. Reinforced concrete is a major construction material for civil infrastructure in current society. Construction has always preceded the development of structural design methodology. Dramatic collapse of buildings has been observed after each disastrous earthquake, resulting in loss of life.

    A flat slab is a typical type of construction in which a reinforced slab is built monolithically with the supporting columns and is reinforced in two or more directions, without any provision of beams. The flat slab thus transfers the load directly to the supporting columns suitably spaced below the slab. The flat slab is often thickened closed to supporting columns to provide adequate strength in shear and to reduce the amount of negative reinforcement in the support regions. The thickened portion i.e. the projection below the slab is called drop or drop panel. The perimeter of the critical section, for shear and hence, increasing the capacity of the slab for resisting two-way shear and to reduce negative bending moment at the support.

  2. Details of the Structure

    1. Modelling and Analysis

      The main objective of the analysis is to study the different forces acting on a building. The analysis is carried out in STAAD Pro V8i software. Results of conventional building, flat slab with drop and flat slab without drop for different heights with and without masonry infill wall are discussed below. Conventional building, flat slab with drop and flat slab without drop different height are modelled and analyzed for the different combinations for Dynamic loading. The comparison is made between the Conventional buildings, flat slab with drop and flat slab without drop Buildings with and without masonry infill wall is situated in seismic zone III.

    2. Assumptions

      The following are the assumptions made:

      The heights of the buildings are kept as 17.5 m, 25 m and

      32.5 m, from ground these buildings are of 5 storeys, 7 storeys and 9 storeys, respectively. The height of one floor is of 3.6m each. In this way the 9 number of total modal are analyzed.

    3. Group Properties

      The different components of Conventional Building are as follows.

      Columns of the building is of 600mm x 600mm Beam size of the building is of 230mm x 600mm Slab thickness of the building is of 150mm

      Similarly the different components of Flat slab with drop and without drop are as follows.

      Columns of the building is of 600mm x 600mm

      Slab thickness of the Flat slab without drop building is of 200mm.

      Size of Drop in 300mm. Wall thickness of 230mm.

      Material properties : M25

      Ec = 5000 fck

    4. Data for Infilled Frame

      Infill properties

      Elastic modulus of masonry wall (Em) = 13800 N/mm2

      Thickness of the infill wall (t) = 230 mm Height of the infill wall (h) = 3000 mm Length of the infill wall (L) = 4400 mm Ic = 5.20×109 mm4

      Ib = 4.14 x109mm4

      = tan-1 (h/L)

      = tan-1[3000/4000]

      = 34.28

      =1.124m

      = 1.656m

      =1.01m

  3. Description for Loading

    The loading on the buildings is considered as per following calculations

    1. Dead Loads

      1. Wall load with 230mm thickness = 13.8kN /m.

      2. Wall load with 230mm thickness

        for parapet = 6.9 kN /m.

      3. Floor finish : 1.5kN/m²

      4. Self weight of building is automatically considered by the STAAD Pro V8i software.

    2. Live Loads : 4.0kN/m² at typical floor

      : 1.5kN/m² on terrace

    3. Earthquake Forces Data

    Earthquake load for the building has been calculated as per IS-1893-2002:

    1. Zone (Z) = III

    2. Response Reduction Factor ( RF ) = 3

    3. Importance Factor ( I ) = 1.5

    4. Rock and soil site factor ( SS ) = 1

    5. Type of Structures = 1

    6. Damping Ratio ( DM ) = 0.05

  4. Results and Discussions

    Dynamic analysis for different types of building is done by using Response Spectrum method for earthquake zone III as per Indian Standard code. The effect of Flat slab with drop and Flat slab without drop considering with and without masonry infill wall is evaluated. In the present work significant change in the seismic parameters such as Fundamental Natural Period, Design Base Shear, Displacement and Axial Force of the structure is noticed.

  5. Conclusions

  1. The Displacement value of Flat slab without Drop buildings is about 63% higher compared Conventional R.C.C building and 19% higher compared to Flat slab with Drop Building.

  2. The Fundamental Natural Period increases as the number of stories increases, irrespective of type of building viz. conventional structure. The Fundamental Natural Period value is much higher in Flat Slab without

    Drop Buildings Compared to Flat slab with Drop and Conventional R.C.C building.

  3. For all the structure, Design base shear increases as the number of stories increases. This increase in design base shear is gradual up to 9th storey, thereafter, it increases significantly gives rise to further investigation on the topic. Design base shear of Conventional R.C.C building is less than the flat slab building.

  4. The Axial Force value of Flat slab with Drop is greater than that of Flat Slab without drop and conventional R.C.C building.

  5. The Displacement and Fundamental Natural Period value of the buildings with masonry infill wall is lesser compared to without masonry infill wall.

  6. The Axial Force and Design Base Shear value of the buildings with masonry infill wall is lesser compared to without masonry infill wall.
