Abstract

With the developments in the construction industry the requirement of building materials have increased. So we need to use the alternate building materials which consume lesser energy and give more strength. In this study the effect of conventional bricks and light weight blocks is studied on the various structures such as G+10, G+15 and G+20 and are analyzed using STAAD Pro software. Earthquake analysis has been carried out using Equivalent static method and Response spectrum method. The various parameters such as Base shear, BM and SF in a beam, axial forces in a column, Lateral load and Lateral displacements are compared. And the percentage reduction is obtained for each of these parameters. It was found that light weight blocks can basically be used to replace conventional burnt clay brick infill material in RC structure.
