Abstract

In this paper, comparison of seismic performance has been investigated between RCS (Reinforced Concrete column-Steel beam) composite frame and RCC (Reinforced cement concrete) frame using SAP2000 software. Nonlinear static analysis (pushover) is employed for evaluation of the seismic performance of both RCS and RC frames. Both the RCS and RC frames are similar in geometry, as well as sectional members used except the beams in RCS frame are replaced by steel member of the equivalent flexural capacity of beams in RC frame. Seismic performances of both RCS and RC frames in terms of base shear, spectral displacement, etc., are investigated. It has been observed that the RCS frame is more cost-effective than the RC frame of equivalent seismic performance.
