Survey Paper on Time History Analysis of Steel and Composite Frame Structure

Steel-concrete composite construction means steel section encased in concrete for columns & the concrete slab or profiled deck slab is connected to steel beam with the help of mechanical shear connectors so that they act as single unit. Earthquakes occurred in recent past have indicated that if the structures are not properly designed and constructed with required quality may cause great destruction and also loss of life. Time history analysis is an important technique for structural seismic analysis especially when the evaluated structural response is nonlinear. To perform such an analysis, a representative earthquake time history is required for a structure being evaluated. Time History Analysis (THA) is a step-by-step analysis of the dynamic response of a structure to a specified loading that may vary with time. In Time History Analysis, time history of representative earthquake is used to determine the seismic response of a structure under dynamic loading. In this work steel sections and composite sections (steel + concrete) are considered for comparative study of high rise residential building. Building is situated in earthquake zone IV. For analysis purpose Time History Method is used. In this work same plan is used for comparison. Load combinations are taken from IS code.
