Development of Program and Parametric Study of Various Composite Columns

Dr. D. R. Panchal

Abstract :

Composite columns are in an increased usage for construction of high-rise and medium-rise buildings, idges and other structures. With the use of composite columns, composite decking and composite beams, high-rise structures can be erected in an extremely efficient manner. In the present study, comparative study of Steel-Concrete composite columns with Steel columns is considered for the G+30 storied residential buildings. Various program developed in excel software for different types of composite columns. Three models are prepared considering concrete fully encased column, circular concrete filled steel column and square concrete filled steel column. A three dimensional modeling, analysis and design of all the structures are carried out with the help of ETABS 2013 software. Here, the main parameters of comparison are column sections provided, column axial force, column bending moments (Mx, My), support reaction, base shear, storey drift, storey displacement, quantities of concrete and structural steel and cost of the columns. The results are compared in the tabulated form and graphs are also prepared and found that composite columns are more economical.
