Cost Comparison of RCC Framed and Steel Framed Structure for a Five Storied Building

Dadi Rambabu

Abstract: Analysis the frame structure is performed by STAAD modeling. The effect of gravity loads and lateral loads are considered in the analysis. The structure is six-storied (Ground floor + Five floors) building with 3.0m as the height of each floor. The overall plan dimension of the building is 17.0 m x 8.0m. The structure is modeled in STAADPRO V8i (series 4). The analysis is carried out on RCC structure and STEEL structure as a three dimensional structure and the members of the steel structure are designed as rolled I-Sections. The reactions at supports are compared and also cost comparison for both Reinforced Cement Concrete structure and Steel Structures
