Non Sway and Sway Methods for Design of Multi-Storey Rc Building (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639336504)

This book investigates the non sway and sway method multi-storey reinforced concrete frames with the numerical modelling analysis. Two buildings of 15 storeys' and 6 storeys are having a height of 57.7 m and 23.5 m respectively have been analysed by using the design software STAAD. Pro V8i for non sway and sway condition. To make the analysis more practical and economical, column sizes have been changed in every three storeys and beam sizes kept constant. Analyses of the reinforced concrete building frames have shown that how the reinforcement of the beams and columns has changed with the effect of wind loading. From the analysis of that reinforced concrete structures, it can be seen that the reinforcement of the beams and columns have been increased in sway frame compare to the non sway frame. Analysis of the two buildings (one tall and another one short) in reinforced concrete frame also have shown that how the beam and column design is affected by the height of the building. This book describes that the software analysis predict the response of the reinforced concrete multi-storied building frames very well.
