Survey on Comparison of Steel and Concrete Composite Beam Column Connections

Prof. Vijay S Sawant, Prof. Yogesh R Suryawanshi, Aniket V Renavikar

Composite constructions are nowadays very popular owing to their advantages over conventional Concrete and Steel constructions. Concrete structures are bulky and impart more seismic weight and less deflection whereas Steel structures instruct more deflections and ductility to the structure, which is beneficial in resisting earthquake forces. Composite Construction combines the better properties of both steel and concrete along with lesser cost, speedy construction, fire protection etc. In present study, literature work of comparison of steel and concrete composite building frame work by different researchers in seismic performance. The composite connections are consider in all four cases, as beam in RCC to column in steel, column in RCC to beam in steel , beam and column both in RCC and also both in Steel. Equivalent static method and Response Spectrum method will be used for analysis. Also same modules compared on SAP 2000 software. Cost effectiveness based on material cost for all types of building frames will be determined. Comparative study concludes that the composite frames will be best suited among all the four types of constructions in terms of material cost benefit added with better seismic behavior.
