Abstract

Owing to high strength and good ductility, steel structures are widely used in the construction of building frames in seismically active areas. This paper reviews the state of-the-art in testing, finite-element analysis and design of composite structural systems. Development of guidelines and recommendations of beam–column connections and moment frames are presented and a future research on composite structural systems is provided. In this paper, the effect of composite action on the ductility performance of the connections is reviewed through a series of large size experimental and analytical studies of beam-to-column sub assemblies. The studies presented in this paper highlights important behavioral observations and trends, some of which point towards the need for further consideration and refinement of current design procedures. The reference structure as well as the design procedures and assumptions adopted are discussed. This paper briefly describes some past experimental and analytical research on traditional connections relevant to the innovative types of connection models to be developed. This paper does not intend to provide a complete and systematic literature search on the topic but rather just present some examples of how connections have been investigated in the past.

Abstract

ANSYS is finite element software. In the present work, finite element analysis of RCC slab models have been carried out. The study is based on the fact that stress and displacement variation depends on boundary conditions of slab. Present study is aimed to know the variation of displacement, stresses, in slab with different boundary conditions. Non-Linear static analysis is carried out using ANSYS 10 Software. Load on slab is calculated as per IS 875 part I for dead load and part II for live load. Parameter considered is to study the effect of opening in slab on stress and displacement. The study shows that displacement is highest in slab having simple support on all sides and stresses are least in same slab along the edges. Also slab with fixed support on all sides shows least displacement and highest stresses along the edges of the slab.
