This document discusses a study that assesses the seismic performance of reinforced concrete steel (RCS) frame buildings compared to ordinary reinforced concrete (RC) buildings through pushover analysis. Two 3-story buildings, one RCS and one RC, were modeled and analyzed. The pushover curves showed that while the base shear capacity was similar, the RCS building behaved linearly until maximum shear capacity and then failed in a soft story mechanism. The RC building formed plastic hinges first in beams and then progressively in columns from lower to upper stories until failure. The study found that RCS buildings may perform better seismically by maintaining strength and stiffness up to maximum load capacity.
Dynamic Analysis of RC Multi-storeyed Building - A Comparative Studyijsrd.com
In India with a seismic moderate zone, the equivalent static force method to estimate the seismic force, subsequent vulnerability and behavior of RC building under seismic load is inadequate. The main goal of this paper is to show how the modal analysis can contribute to the understanding the behavior of building using Response Spectrum Method. In this study, Dynamic Analysis of four storied Reinforced Concrete building was investigated using Staad pro and Etabs software packages. For this, Response Spectrum Method was used to evaluate the base shear, frequency, modal mass participation and the mode shapes of the building have been plotted for 15 frequencies. Seismic Zone 3 has been considered and base shear was calculated as per the procedure recommended by IS 1893-2002. The results shows that only slight variation in frequencies and modal participation factors was observed as each software has its own way of considering the mass.
IRJET- Study of Literature on Seismic Response of RC Irregular StructureIRJET Journal
The document discusses vertical irregularities in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings and their effects on seismic response. It first defines vertical irregularities as weaknesses caused by discontinuities in mass, stiffness, or geometry between storeys. Soft stories, where the stiffness suddenly decreases, are one type of vertical irregularity. The document then reviews several previous studies on modeling and analyzing vertically irregular buildings using pushover analysis, which incrementally loads a structure to determine its failure mechanisms. The studies found that soft story buildings absorb energy through overturning and shear deformation. Irregular buildings may have similar seismic performance to regular buildings if properly designed. Quantifying the degree of irregularity can help evaluate seismic vulnerability and retrofitting needs.

Performance based analysis of rc building consisting shear wall and varying i...Yousuf Dinar
Abstract:
Metropolitan cities are under severe threat because of inappropriate design and construction of structures. Faulty building designed without considering seismic consideration could be vulnerable to damage even under low levels of ground shaking from distant earthquake. So, structural engineers often are more concerned about the constructing Shear wall without knowing its performance with respect to infill percentage which may lead it to an over design state without knowing the demand. Nonlinear inelastic pushover analysis provides a better view about the behavior of the structures during seismic events. This study investigates as well as compares the performances of bare, different infill percentage level and two types of Shear wall consisting building structures and suggests from which level of performance shear wall should be preferred over the infill structure. To perform the finite element simulation ETABS 9.7.2 is used to get the output using pushover analysis. For different loading conditions, the performances of structures are evaluated with the help of base shear, deflection, storey drift, storey drift ratio and stages of number of hinges form and represented with discussion.

This document presents the results of a pushover analysis conducted on 9 structural models with varying plan irregularities. The models were analyzed using ETABS software to determine key parameters such as lateral displacement, story drift, base shear, and performance point. The results show that structures with complex geometries experience greater lateral displacement, story drift, and base shear compared to regular structures. Pushover curves indicate that irregular structures may not achieve desired performance levels at lower displacement thresholds. In conclusion, simple and regular building geometries perform better during earthquakes by attracting fewer seismic forces.

The essential purpose of this wander is to develop an Interior Penalty Function (IPF) based estimation to multi-storey steel traces for slightest weight of frames. The frames are proposed for contradicting even impact in view of seismic stacking close by gravity forces. Various structural stems are used for restricting seismic (lateral) forces; however steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) are considered for the present work. The framework solidifies codal courses of action of IS 800-2007, as needs be gets the edges with perfect weight for in-plane moments with lateral support of beam element. Strength and buckling criteria are considered as direct goals close by side constraints in formulating optimization problem. A Software program is made that uses an interior penalty function (IPF) for weight minimization of two-dimensional moment restricting steel encompassed structures. The program uses MATLAB, performs one dimensional interest, and structural design in an iterative technique. The design cases have exhibited that the proposed estimation gives a beneficial instrument to the practicing fundamental algorithm. The program is associated with 6 and 9 storey (4 bays) moment resisting frames (MRFs). The program showed its capacity of optimizing the largeness of two medium size frames. To get part obliges in frames an examination technique must be associated. In the present work Equivalent Lateral Force framework (ELF) and material nonlinear time history analysis (NTH) are associated and perfect qualities gained from both the examinations are contemplated.

Lateral Load Analysis of a Building with & Without Knee BracingIJERA Editor
In last decades steel structures has played an important role in construction industry. Providing strength, stability
and ductility are major purposes of seismic design. It is necessary to design a structure to perform well under
seismic loads. Steel braced frame is one of the structural systems used to resist earthquake loads in structures.
Steel bracing is economical, easy to erect, occupies less space and has flexibility to design for meeting the
required strength and stiffness. Bracing can be used as retrofit as well. There are various types of steel bracings
such as Diagonal, X, K, V, inverted V type or chevron and global type concentric bracings. In the present study,
it was shown that modelling of the G+4 steel bare frame with various bracings (X, V, inverted V, and Knee
bracing) by computer software SAP2000 and pushover analysis results are obtained. Comparison between the
seismic parameters such as base shear, roof displacement, time period, storey drift, performance point for steel
bare frame with different bracing patterns are studied. It is found that the X type of steel bracings significantly
contributes to the structural stiffness and reduces the maximum interstate drift of steel building than other
bracing systems.

The document analyzes the seismic behavior of tunnel form buildings using response spectrum analysis. Tunnel form buildings are reinforced concrete structures with relatively thin shear walls and flat slabs instead of beams and columns. The study models a 6-story RC wall building to analyze the effects of openings (0%, 6%, 22%, 50%) and soil conditions (bearing capacities of 50, 100, 200, 250) on seismic performance parameters like time period, displacement, drift, and base shear. Response spectrum analysis is performed using ETABS software according to Indian codes. Results show that RC wall buildings have significantly reduced time periods and displacements compared to equivalent RC frame buildings, indicating improved seismic performance.

Improved Power Aware Location Based RoutingIOSR Journals
Abstract : With rapid growth in wireless Ad Hoc networks, Quality of service factor has drawn a great attention of researchers. Whereas network topology of wireless networks constantly changes, resources like bandwidth and energy are also limited. As power is very important factor for the proper working of Ad Hoc networks, need of the time is to research about efficient utilization of power. In the paper, we improve LAR (Location-Aided Routing), one of the most famous location based routing methods, which uses GPS technique to get information about the location of mobile node. Our new protocol considers both areas of routing and power. At first, propose a more efficient routing method which finds more stable paths .Secondly, a power aware method is proposed to have a prior knowledge about the remaining battery backups of all the intermediate nodes so that the nodes with battery backups equal to or greater than the minimum threshold power are the part of path between source and destination. This work presents an efficient approach for providing QOS in power aware scenario. Keywords: Ad hoc networks, Average power, Expected Zone, Requested Zone, Threshold power
Digital Image Compression using Hybrid Transform with Kekre Transform and Oth...IOSR Journals
This paper presents image compression technique using hybrid transform. Concept of hybrid wavelet
transform can be extended to generate hybrid transform. In hybrid wavelet transform first few rows represent
global features of an image and remaining rows represent local features of an image. In Hybrid wavelet matrix
rows contributing to global characteristics can be varied. In the limiting case by taking kronecker product of to
orthogonal component transforms, hybrid transform is generated where all rows of transform matrix represent
global features and no local features are present. This hybrid transform matrix is then applied on color image.
High frequency contents of transformed image are eliminated and only low frequency contents are retained to
get compressed image. RMSE is calculated at different compression ratios to check the performance of hybrid
transforms. Various orthogonal transforms like DCT,Walsh, Slant, Hartley, Real-DFT and DST are combined
with Kekre transform to generate hybrid transforms. DKT-DCT gives better image quality and lower RMSE
than other pairs formed with DKT. Component size 32-8 i.e.32x32(Kekre Transform) and 8x8 (DCT) gives best
results than other possible size combinations like 8-32,16-16 and 64-4

This document presents a theoretical model to explain the quantized nature of planetary orbits around the sun based on Einstein's general theory of relativity. It derives expressions for the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian of a unit mass moving in the curved spacetime around a massive body. Using these, it writes a Schrodinger-like quantum equation that includes variation of the wavefunction with respect to a curve parameter representing spacetime curvature. The solutions reveal the quantized energy levels and orbits determined by quantum numbers. When applied to planetary orbits, the model estimates distances from the sun in good agreement with observed values.

Abstract : The sound and vibratory behavior of the internal combustion engine is a highly complex one,
consisting of many components that are subject to loads that vary greatly in magnitude and which operate at a
wide range of speeds. Some origins of mechanically induced noise caused by various forces resulting from the
combination of combustion and inertia forces which act on the moving parts of the engine to accelerate them
across their running clearances and thus cause mechanical noise. The most of the investigations are done on
the mechanical noise due to motion of mechanical system i.e. piston slap. The main purpose of this work is to
analyze the vibration in diesel engine VCR (Variable Compression Ratio) cylinder liner considering combustion
gas forces and cylinder liner temperature using finite element software ANSYS. Also Aluminium (HF 18)
material is being tested in the software for this purpose. The output results were quite satisfactory to predict the
behavior of deflection under different pressures. The combustion gas forces calculated for varying compression
pressures. In this paper the results are presented for displacement and frequency which indicate the amplitude
of vibration. By comparing the analytical results, the validity of the proposed analysis has been confirmed.
Furthermore, this analysis is applied to evaluate the vibration of HF 18 material along with increase in
thickness, and revealing the closer response according to the material and vibration.
Keywords - VCR Diesel engine, Cylinder liner, Combustion gas force and Harmonic analysis.
This document describes a study that used the Taguchi method to optimize cutting parameters for milling glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites. Experiments were conducted using a Taguchi L27 orthogonal array to examine the effects of fiber orientation angle, helix angle, spindle speed, and feed rate on surface roughness, machining force, and delamination. Regression analysis and analysis of variance were used to develop a mathematical model relating the responses to the cutting parameters and determine significant factors. The goals of the study were to minimize the responses and establish correlations between cutting parameters and machining performance of GFRP composites.
Abstract: Sequential pattern mining, which discovers the correlation relationships from the ordered list of
events, is an important research field in data mining area. In our study, we have developed a Sequential
Pattern Tree structure to store both frequent and non-frequent items from sequence database. It requires only
one scan of database to build the tree due to storage of non-frequent items which reduce the tree construction
time considerably. Then, we have proposed an efficient Sequential Pattern Tree Mining algorithm which can
generate frequent sequential patterns from the Sequential Pattern Tree recursively. The main advantage of this
algorithm is to mine the complete set of frequent sequential patterns from the Sequential Pattern Tree without
generating any intermediate projected tree. Again, it does not generate unnecessary candidate sequences and
not require repeated scanning of the original database. We have compared our proposed approach with three
existing algorithms and our performance study shows that, our algorithm is much faster than apriori based GSP
algorithm and also faster than existing PrefixSpan and Tree Based Mining algorithm which are based on
pattern growth approaches.

This summarizes a research paper that analyzes the cryptographic security of an efficient unlinkable secret handshakes scheme proposed by Ryu, Yoo and Ha. The paper shows that their scheme is vulnerable to a key-compromise impersonation attack, allowing an adversary who learns a user's private key to impersonate that user and establish session keys with other users, compromising the security of the key agreement protocol. It reviews the technical details of Ryu et al.'s scheme and bilinear pairings used in secret handshakes. The full paper then demonstrates how an adversary can use a compromised private key to impersonate the key owner to another user and complete the secret handshake protocol to derive a shared session key.
The Impact of Security Overhead Traffic on Network’s Resources PerformanceIOSR Journals
This document discusses the impact of security overhead traffic from IPSec VPN on network performance through an OPNET simulation. Three scenarios were modeled: 1) without IPSec, 2) with IPSec using DS1 links, and 3) with IPSec using higher bandwidth DS3 links. The results show that applying IPSec VPN significantly increased server CPU utilization and network delay due to the additional encryption overhead. Increasing the link bandwidth in the third scenario helped reduce this impact by allowing more network capacity for the additional IPSec traffic.

This document compares post-tensioned flat slabs to reinforced concrete (RCC) flat slabs in multi-story commercial buildings. It finds that post-tensioned flat slabs are more cost effective than RCC slabs. The document reviews literature on flat slab design and seismic behavior. It also presents the benefits of post-tensioning, including larger spans, reduced dead loads, smaller columns and foundations, and the ability to incorporate additional floors in a given building height. Analysis using RAPT and ETABS software indicates that post-tensioned flat slabs require less reinforcing steel, post-tensioning steel, and concrete, resulting in lower overall building costs per square meter compared to RCC slab systems.
Descriptive study of pushover analysis in rcc structures of rigid jointYousuf Dinar
ABSTRACT: Structures in mega cities, are under serious threat because of faulty and unskilled design and construction of structures. Sometimes structure designers are more concerned in constructing different load resistant members without knowing its necessity and its performance in the structure. Different configuration of construction may also lead to significant variation in capacity of the same structure. Nonlinear static pushover analysis provides a better view on the performance of the structures during seismic events. This comprehensive research evaluates as well as compares the performances of bare, different infill percentage level, different configuration of soft storey and Shear wall consisting building structures with each other and later depending upon the findings, suggests from which level of performance shear wall should be preferred over the infill structure and will eventually help engineers to decide where generally the soft storey could be constructed in the structures. Above all a better of effects of pushover analysis could be summarized from the findings. Masonry walls are represented by equivalent strut according to pushover concerned codes. For different loading conditions, the performances of structures are evaluated with the help of performance point, base shear, top displacement, storey drift and stages of number of hinges form.

The essential purpose of this wander is to develop an Interior Penalty Function (IPF) based estimation to multi-storey steel traces for slightest weight of frames. The frames are proposed for contradicting even impact in view of seismic stacking close by gravity forces. Various structural stems are used for restricting seismic (lateral) forces; however steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) are considered for the present work. The framework solidifies codal courses of action of IS 800-2007, as needs be gets the edges with perfect weight for in-plane moments with lateral support of beam element. Strength and buckling criteria are considered as direct goals close by side constraints in formulating optimization problem. A Software program is made that uses an interior penalty function (IPF) for weight minimization of two-dimensional moment restricting steel encompassed structures. The program uses MATLAB, performs one dimensional interest, and structural design in an iterative technique. The design cases have exhibited that the proposed estimation gives a beneficial instrument to the practicing fundamental algorithm. The program is associated with 6 and 9 storey (4 bays) moment resisting frames (MRFs). The program showed its capacity of optimizing the largeness of two medium size frames. To get part obliges in frames an examination technique must be associated. In the present work Equivalent Lateral Force framework (ELF) and material nonlinear time history analysis (NTH) are associated and perfect qualities gained from both the examinations are contemplated.
The document reviews literature on the optimization of steel frames, moment resisting frames, and buckling restrained braced frames. It discusses several past studies that used optimization techniques and linear/nonlinear analysis methods to minimize weight and seismic response of steel structures. Key findings from experimental testing of buckling restrained braces are also summarized, including the importance of ensuring a ratio of tube buckling strength to core yield strength above 1.5 to prevent global buckling.
Study of Eccentrically Braced Outrigger Frame under Seismic ExitationIJTET Journal
Outrigger braced structures has efficient structural form consist of a central core, comprising braced frames with
horizontal cantilever ”outrigger” trusses or girders connecting the core to the outer column. When the structure is loaded
horizontally, vertical plane rotation of the core is restrained by the outriggers through tension in windward column and
compression in leeward column. The effective structural depth of the building is greatly increased, thus augmenting the lateral
stiffness of the building and reducing the lateral deflections and moments in core. In effect, the outriggers join the columns to the
core to make the structure behave as a partly composite cantilever. By providing eccentrically braced system in outrigger frame by
varying the size of links and analyzing it. Push over analysis is carried out by varying the link size using computer programs, Sap
2007 to understand their seismic performance. The ductile behavior of eccentrically braced frame is highly desirable for structures
subjected to strong ground motion. Maximum stiffness, strength, ductility and energy dissipation capacity are provided by
eccentrically braced frame. Studies were conducted on the use of outrigger frame for the high steel building subjected to
earthquake load. Braces are designed not to buckle, regardless of the severity of lateral loading on the frame. Thus eccentrically
braced frame ensures safety against collapse.

This document analyzes the effect of using lead rubber bearing (LRB) isolators on structures of varying heights when subjected to seismic activity. Non-linear time history analyses were conducted on 4, 10, 15, and 20-story rectangular reinforced concrete structures both with and without LRB isolators. The results showed that using LRB isolators significantly reduced story rotation, acceleration, displacement, and drift across all building heights compared to fixed-base structures. Additionally, LRB isolators increased the natural period of the structures, which decreased the lateral forces experienced. In conclusion, seismic isolation through the use of LRB isolators improved the performance of structures and was more effective at mitigating earthquake effects in taller buildings.
IRJET-A Comparative Study of RC Column and Composite Column with Flat Slab Sy...IRJET Journal
This document presents a comparative study of linear static analysis and construction sequential analysis (CSA) for reinforced concrete (RC) column structures and composite column structures with flat slabs. The analysis is performed using ETABS software for different earthquake zones in India. Results show that CSA provides more accurate results than linear static analysis by considering the staged construction and varying loads. Base shear values from CSA models differ from linear static models by 100-200kN for composite columns. Composite column structures exhibit higher storey stiffness, shorter time periods, and require smaller column sizes compared to RC column structures. In conclusion, CSA should be used for multi-storey buildings to improve analysis accuracy regarding displacements, forces and stresses at different construction
Optimum participation of beams and columns in lateral resistance of steel mom...Alexander Decker
This document discusses optimizing the participation of beams and columns in providing lateral resistance in steel moment frames. It presents research on five steel moment frames with varying numbers of stories and bays. The frames were modeled in ETABS2000 software and subjected to earthquake loads. The research aims to determine the optimum ratio of story drift to maximum allowable drift, based on the ratio of beam and column flexural stiffness. It found that increasing the flexural stiffness of columns, while keeping beam stiffness constant, reduced lateral displacement and brought story drift within allowable limits. Controlling the ratio of beam and column stiffness provides a way to optimize lateral frame resistance and displacement.

This document analyzes the performance of various modulation schemes for achieving energy efficient communication over fading channels in wireless sensor networks. It finds that for long transmission distances, low-order modulations like BPSK are optimal due to their lower SNR requirements. However, as transmission distance decreases, higher-order modulations like 16-QAM and 64-QAM become more optimal since they can transmit more bits per symbol, outweighing their higher SNR needs. Simulations show lifetime extensions up to 550% are possible in short-range networks by using higher-order modulations instead of just BPSK. The optimal modulation depends on transmission distance and balancing the energy used by electronic components versus power amplifiers.

1) The document simulates and compares the performance of AODV and DSDV routing protocols in a mobile ad hoc network under three conditions: when users are fixed, when users move towards the base station, and when users move away from the base station.
2) The results show that both protocols have higher packet delivery and lower packet loss when users are either fixed or moving towards the base station, since signal strength is better in those scenarios. Performance degrades when users move away from the base station due to weaker signals.
3) AODV generally has better performance than DSDV, with higher throughput and packet delivery rates observed across the different user mobility conditions.
This document describes the design and implementation of 4-bit QPSK and 256-bit QAM modulation techniques using MATLAB. It compares the two techniques based on SNR, BER, and efficiency. The key steps of implementing each technique in MATLAB are outlined, including generating random bits, modulation, adding noise, and measuring BER. Simulation results show scatter plots and eye diagrams of the modulated signals. A table compares the results, showing that 256-bit QAM provides better performance than 4-bit QPSK. The document concludes that QAM modulation is more effective for digital transmission systems.
The document proposes a hybrid technique using Anisotropic Scale Invariant Feature Transform (A-SIFT) and Robust Ensemble Support Vector Machine (RESVM) to accurately identify faces in images. A-SIFT improves upon traditional SIFT by applying anisotropic scaling to extract richer directional keypoints. Keypoints are processed with RESVM and hypothesis testing to increase accuracy above 95% by repeatedly reprocessing images until the threshold is met. The technique was tested on similar and different facial images and achieved better results than SIFT in retrieval time and reduced keypoints.
This document studies the effects of dielectric superstrate thickness on microstrip patch antenna parameters. Three types of probes-fed patch antennas (rectangular, circular, and square) were designed to operate at 2.4 GHz using Arlondiclad 880 substrate. The antennas were tested with and without an Arlondiclad 880 superstrate of varying thicknesses. It was found that adding a superstrate slightly degraded performance by lowering the resonant frequency and increasing return loss and VSWR, while decreasing bandwidth and gain. Specifically, increasing the superstrate thickness or dielectric constant resulted in greater changes to the antenna parameters.

2) The resonant frequency of the antenna can be significantly shifted from 2.41GHz to 3.15GHz, a 31% shift, by increasing the static magnetic field placed on the ferrite material.
3) Altering the permeability of the ferrite allows tuning of the antenna's resonant frequency without changing the physical dimensions, providing flexibility to operate over a wide frequency range.
This document summarizes a research paper that presents a speech enhancement method using stationary wavelet transform. The method first classifies speech into voiced, unvoiced, and silence regions based on short-time energy. It then applies different thresholding techniques to the wavelet coefficients of each region - modified hard thresholding for voiced speech, semi-soft thresholding for unvoiced speech, and setting coefficients to zero for silence. Experimental results using speech from the TIMIT database corrupted with white Gaussian noise at various SNR levels show improved performance over other popular denoising methods.
This document reviews the design of an energy-optimized wireless sensor node that encrypts data for transmission. It discusses how sensing schemes that group nodes into clusters and transmit aggregated data can reduce energy consumption compared to individual node transmissions. The proposed node design calculates the minimum transmission power needed based on received signal strength and uses a periodic sleep/wake cycle to optimize energy when not sensing or transmitting.

This document discusses group consumption modes. It analyzes factors that impact group consumption, including external environmental factors like technological developments enabling new forms of online and offline interactions, as well as internal motivational factors at both the group and individual level. The document then proposes that group consumption modes can be divided into four types based on two dimensions: vertical (group relationship intensity) and horizontal (consumption action period). These four types are instrument-oriented, information-oriented, enjoyment-oriented, and relationship-oriented consumption modes. Finally, the document notes that consumption modes are dynamic and can evolve over time.
The document summarizes a study of different microstrip patch antenna configurations with slotted ground planes. Three antenna designs were proposed and their performance evaluated through simulation: a conventional square patch, an elliptical patch, and a star-shaped patch. All antennas were mounted on an FR4 substrate. The effects of adding different slot patterns to the ground plane on resonance frequency, bandwidth, gain and efficiency were analyzed parametrically. Key findings were that reshaping the patch and adding slots increased bandwidth and shifted resonance frequency. The elliptical and star patches in particular performed better than the conventional design. Three antenna configurations were selected for fabrication and measurement based on the simulations: a conventional patch with a slot under the patch, an elliptical patch with slots

Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

Abstract: RCS moment-resisting frame systems, consisting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns and Steel (S)
beams, take advantage of the inherent stiffness and damping, as well as low-cost of concrete, the lightweight
and construction efficiency of structural steel. Past studies have shown these systems to be efficient in both
design and construction stages while able to maintain sufficient strength and ductility necessary in seismic
applications. Despite this past research, use of this hybrid structural system in the United States has been
limited to non- or low-seismic zones. In addition, past studies have acknowledged that there is a fundamental
need to test full structural systems, both analytically and experimentally, in order to (1) substantiate the
knowledge that has accumulated up to this point and (2) act as a proof of concept for the composite RCS
frames. This paper aim to facilitate the greater acceptance and use of composite RCS systems as a viable
alternative to conventional lateral resisting systems in comparison with the ordinary RC building.
Two structures are considered to represent low rise RCS and RC structures for study. Theses consist of two
typical steel beam and RC columns frame buildings without shear walls. Three story RCS buildings is designed
according to EGP Codes of practice. Design columns under provisions of Egyptian reinforced concrete
structures code and beams are designed according to Egyptian steel construction code. The comparative studies
for the two buildings are presented.

I. Introduction
Innovative applications of composite steel and concrete structures provide attractive alternatives to
conventional steel or reinforced concrete systems. RCS moment-resisting frame systems, consisting of
Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns and Steel (S) beams, take advantage of the inherent stiffness and damping,
as well as low-cost of concrete, and the lightweight and construction efficiency of structural steel (Liang et al
2004)
RCS frame systems have shown to possess several advantages from economic and construction
viewpoints (Griffis 1986) compared to either RC or steel frame systems. RC columns are approximately 10
times more cost-effective than steel columns in terms of axial strength and stiffness (Sheikh et al 1987). On the
other hand, steel floor systems are significantly lighter compared to RC floor systems, leading to substantial
reductions in the weight of the building, foundation costs, and inertial forces. From the construction viewpoint,
RCS buildings are generally built by first erecting a steel skeleton with light columns, which for medium- or
high-rise buildings could be as high as 8 to 10 stories. This steel frame then allows the simultaneous
performance of several construction tasks at different floor levels, such as placing of steel deck, pouring of
concrete slabs, and encasement of the light steel columns by RC columns (Griffis 1986).
In the past thirty years, RCS moment-resisting frame systems have mostly used for high-rise buildings
located in regions of low seismicity. In recent years, research efforts have made to develop seismic design
guidelines for RCS systems located in regions of high seismic risk (Liang et al 2004)
Several groups of researchers have developed trial designs of RCS frames based on a common theme
building devised for the US-Japan program (Mehanny 2000, Bugeja 1999, Noguchi 1998). These studies apply
the proposed seismic design provisions for RCS systems and then evaluate the seismic performance of resulting
designs using nonlinear analyses and advanced performance assessment techniques. Traditional steel frames
were also investigated in these studies to benchmark the performance of conventional frames compared to the
composite RCS frames. Using a common floor plan, the building heights varied as well as the implementation
of perimeter versus space frame systems. These design studies have shown that the steel beam sizes tend to be
similar for the RCS and steel system and that the main differences lie in the column and connection designs.
Given the additional stiffness provided by the RC columns, the RCS frames tended to be controlled more by the
minimum strength requirements whereas the steel frames were restricted by lateral drift limitations. In general,
these investigations have shown that the inelastic dynamic response of the RCS frames is similar to comparably
designed steel moment frames.
The US-Japan program included two reduced-scale RCS moment frames – one at the Osaka Institute of
Technology (Baba and Nishirmura 2000) and the second at Chiba University (Noguchi and Uchida 2004). Both
are about 1/3-scale two-bay two-story RCS frames with through-beam type connections with differences only in

the joint details (one had cover plates and band plates while the other had face bearing plates and band plates).
The frame was designed such that the plastic strength of the beams was nearly equal to the ultimate shear
strength of the joints, so as to provide information on the interaction between frame and connection response.
Both test specimens were subjected to reverse cyclic loading and withstood story drift ratios in excess of 5%
without significant strength or stiffness degradation, thus confirming the reliable seismic behavior of RCS
framing systems.
Cordova et al 2005 design, and test a full scale 3-story composite RCS moment frame. Using the
pseudo-dynamic loading technique, this specimen is subjected to a series of earthquake motions ranging in
hazards from frequent to extremely rare events. Using the results of the test specimens and recommendation,
trial designs of three case study buildings (3, 6, and 20-stories) are generated, analytically modeled, and
subjected to a suite of earthquake ground motions at a range of hazard levels. They Investigate differences
between the response of beam-column subassembly and full-scale system testing and evaluate how this affects
the interpretations from these tests.
One of the efficient tool of addressing the behaviour of building under earthquake loading is the
pushover analysis. Due its simplicity, the structural engineering profession has been using the nonlinear static
procedure or pushover analysis. It is widely accepted that, when push over analysis is used carefully it provide
useful information that cannot be obtained by linear static or dynamic analysis procedure (mehmet inel et al
(2006).
This paper aim to study the seismic performance of the RCS system for buildings in comparison with
the ordinary RC buildings.
II. Pushover Analysis
Structures are expected to deform inelastically when subjected to severe earthquakes, so seismic
performance evaluation of structures should be conducted considering post-elastic behavior. Therefore, a
nonlinear analysis procedure must be used for evaluation purpose as post-elastic behavior can not be determined
directly by an elastic analysis. Moreover, maximum inelastic displacement demand of structures should be
determined to adequately estimate the seismically induced demands on structures that exhibit inelastic behavior.
Pushover analysis is an analysis method in which the structure is subjected to monotonically increasing
lateral forces with an invariant height-wise distribution until a target displacement is reached. Pushover analysis
consists of a series of sequential elastic analyses, superimposed to approximate a force-displacement curve of
the overall structure. A two or three dimensional model which includes bilinear or trilinear load-deformation
diagrams of all lateral force resisting elements is first created and gravity loads are applied initially.
A predefined lateral load pattern which is distributed along the building height is then applied. The
lateral forces are increased until some members yield. The structural model is modified to account for the
reduced stiffness of yielded members and lateral forces are again increased until additional members yield. The
process is continued until a control displacement at the top of building reaches a certain level of deformation or
structure becomes unstable. The roof displacement is plotted with base shear to get the capacity curve (Fig 1).
The pushover analysis is very useful in estimating the following characteristics of a structure. M.
Mouzzoun (2013)
1- The capacity of the structure as represented by the base shear versus roof- displacement graph
2- Maximum rotation and ductility of critical members load
3- The distribution of plastic hinges at the ultimate load
4- The distribution of damage in the structure, as expressed in the from of load damage indices, at the ultimate
load
5- Determination of the yield lateral resistance of the structure
6- Estimates of inter-story drifts and its distribution along the height
7- Determination of force demands on members, such as axial force demands on columns, moment demands
on beam-column connections
8- To assess the structural performance of existing or retrofitted buildings.
III. Seismic Perforamnace Assessment Of Buildings
The seismic performance of buildings is measured by the state of damage under a certain level of
seismic hazard. The state of damage is quantified by the drift of the roof and the displacement of the structural
elements. Initially, gravity push is carried out using force control method. It is followed by lateral push with
displacement control using commercial programs as SAP2000.
For carrying out displacement based pushover analysis, target displacement need to be defined.
Pushover analysis gives an insight into the maximum base shear that the structure is capable of resisting. A
building performance level is a combination of the performance levels of the structure and the nonstructural
components. A performance level describes a limiting damage condition, which may be considered satisfactory
for a given building with specific ground motion. The performance of the structure is determined by hinges

formation. Various types of plastic hinges: uncoupled/coupled moment, torsion, axial force and shear hinges are
available. After yielding, plastic hinges will form at different location indicating the risk of occupant as shown
in the (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3). The performance point is calculated from the guideline defined in FEMA-356 and
ATC-40. The lateral force is applied at the deformed state of the general loading from point A (Fig. 2). No
hinges will formed before point B where structure will shows linear behavior and after that one or more hinges
will start to form. Software will shows hinges with following remarkable indication:
Immediate occupancy IO: damage is relatively limited; the structure retains a significant portion of its original
stiffness and most if not all of its strength.
Life safety level LS: substantial damage has occurred to the structure, and it may have lost a
significant amount of its original stiffness. However, a substantial margin remains for additional lateral
deformation before collapse would occur.
Collapse prevention CP: at this level the building has experienced extreme damage, if laterally deformed
beyond this point; the structure can experience instability and collapse base shear.

IV. Description Of Studied Structures
Two structures without shear walls are considered to represent low-and medium rise RCS and RC
structures to study. Theses consist of a typical steel beam and RC columns frame building Three story RCS
buildings are designed according to EGP Codes of practice. Design columns under provisions of Egyptian
reinforced concrete structures code and beams are designed according to Egyptian steel construction code.
Material properties are assumed to be 25 Mpa for the concrete compressive strength and 360 Mpa for
the yield strength of reinforcement steel. For steel beams steel 52 is used with yield strength of 360 Mpa
Both building have 3 bays with 4.8 m span in both direction , story height is assumed to be 3.0 m. The
interior frame represents 2-D models of these buildings The columns dimensions in this study are considered
constant for each three story .
The three story building is assumed to be 9.0 m in elevation . Column dimensions are kept constant and
chosen to be 40*40 cm reinforced by 8 16mm as longitudinal reinforcement , Steel beams are considered as
BFI 220 section
For RC building, beams are considered of section 25*60 cm reinforced by 6 16 mm as main
reinforcement and 216 mm as secondary reinforcement at middle columns and with 216 mm as top and
bottom reinforcement at outer columns.
V. Building Performance
The lateral load pattern in Cairo City corresponding to the Egyptian Loading Code (ECP201-2012) is
adopted and applied as auto lateral load pattern in SAP 2000. The load pattern is calculated using
DL+SDL+0.25LL for the EQ load case. The direction of monitoring the behavior of the building is same as the
push direction. In case of columns, program defined auto PM2M3 interacting hinges are provided at both the
ends according to FEMA 356, while in case of beams, M3 auto hinges are provided.
In this study, displacement-controlled pushover analyses were performed on three models for RC, RCS
buildings with three and six floors. The displacement-controlled pushover analysis is basically composed of the
following steps:
1- A three dimensional model that represents the overall structural behavior is created.
2- Gravity loads composed of dead loads and a specified portion of live loads are applied to the structural
model initially.
3- A predefined lateral load pattern representing EQ load pattern is then applied.
4- Lateral loads are increased until some member(s) yield under the combined effects of gravity and lateral
loads.
5- Base shear and roof displacement are recorded at first yielding.
6- The structural model is modified to account for the reduced stiffness of yielded member(s).
7- A new lateral load increment is applied to the modified structural model such that additional member(s)
yield. Thus, member forces at the end of an incremental lateral load analysis are obtained by adding the
forces from the current analysis to the sum of those from the previous increments. In other words, the
results of each incremental lateral load analysis are superimposed.
8- Similarly, the lateral load increment and the roof displacement increment are added to the corresponding
previous total values to obtain the accumulated values of the base shear and the roof displacement.
9- Steps 6, 7 and 8 are repeated until the roof displacement reaches a certain level of deformation or the
structure becomes unstable.
10- The roof displacement is plotted with the base shear to get the global capacity (pushover) curve of the
structure.
Both RC. and RCS, buildings were analyzed using SAP2000 program. Base columns are assumed
hinged at the foundation level. The beams and columns are modeled as nonlinear frame elements with lumped
plasticity , hinges are defined according to the section properties at both ends at the columns and beams
The push over curve for RCS building are shown in Fig. 4 and for RC building in Fig 5. The push
over curves with each associated response spectrum curves for different levels of shaking levels are shown in
Fig 6 for RCS structures and in Fig 7 for RC structure . The hinge patterns are shown in Fig 8 for RC
structure and in Fig 9 for RCS structure.
In RC building plastic hinges formation starts with beam ends then propagates to the beams of the
second story. After that point intermediate base columns of lower stories, then propagates to the intermediate
columns of the second story the plastic hinges performed at outer columns of the lower story and continue with
yielding of interior columns in the upper stories until failure occurs.
In RCS building plastic hinges formation starts with intermediate columns of lower story , then propagates to
interior columns in the upper stories and the intermediate columns of the lower story reaching collapse before
the outer columns , then a failure mechanism occur as soft story of the lower story.

even both structures have almost the base shear capacity, the RCS structures behave linearly till the maximum
