REDESIGN OF G+2 STOREY CONCRETE STRUCTURE TO STEEL, USING ETABS

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Short construction period leads to savings in site preliminaries, earlier return on investment and reduced interest charges. Time related savings can easily amount to 3% to 5% of the overall project value, reducing the client’s requirements for working capital and improving cash flow. In many inner-city projects, it is important to reduce disruption to nearby buildings and roads. Steel construction dramatically reduces the impact of the construction operation on the locality. Steel offers better ‘elasticity’. Concrete is more brittle and thus less suited for skyscrapers which are designed to sway with the wind. In this study, a comparative analysis of steel and concrete structures of an ongoing project of Govt. Ayurveda Hospital is carried out. It is a G+2 storey building built as a concrete structure. We focus on redesigning the concrete structure using steel. Steel structure is a structure which is made from the organized combination of custom designed structural steel members to meet architecture and engineering requirements of users. Steel structure involves substructure or members in a building made from structural steel.
