Structural Performance of Multi-storey Building with Haunch Reinforced Concrete Beam using E-tab Software

Abstract

All over the world, the buildings are built in the form of stacks of cubes, generally made of prismatic beam and column. These cubical structures are not having structural integrity. The basic problem with these type of cubes is that these are as strong as there joints are weak, no matter how strong it is held with the ground or how strong is beam or column, it will fail as its joint get cracked. The building may be built stronger against the lateral loading if some braces are provided at the junction. In other words, the haunch beam can resist lateral forces in a better manner. In this paper, a comparative study is done in between two multi-storey building on basis of seismic parameters like time period, base shear, storey drift, maximum storey displacement and maximum storey stiffness.
