Abstract :

This study focuses on Eearthquake Resistant Properties Of RC Core Steel Composite Columns of different sections and different lengths. A model is proposed using ANSYS 12.0 V with proper Boundary conditions. The model is for RCC sections, Core Steel Circular Sections, Core Steel I–Section for a length of 800mm, 1600mm and 3200mm .The analysis has been carried out using 8–noded 185solid element and solid 65. Max Deflection, Max Principal Stress, Max Principal Strain, von Mises Stress and strains are obtained. Values of Deflections from the Modal Analysis(In case of static) it is evident that using Core Steel I Section Column is better than RC Columns and Steel Circular Core Column (Rrefer table no 4 and 5).It clearly evident that in case of Core Steel I Section Column values of Max.Principle reduces than RC and Core Circular Columns. von Mises Stress decreases as Column length increases for RC Column ,Circular Core and I Section Column
