Comparative Study between OMRF and SMRF Structure by Pushover Analysis

Bhavesh Kuthe, Prof. D. L. Budhlani

Abstract: Analysis of damages incurred in moment resisting RC framed structures subjected to past earthquake show that failure may be due to utilization of concrete not having sufficient resistance, soft storey, beam column joint failure for weak reinforcements or improper anchorage, column failure causing storey mechanism. Beam-column connection is considered to be one of the potentially weaker components when a structure is subjected to seismic loading. In this study overview of the earthquake and its devastations are mentioned, also behaviour of building during earthquake is given. Furthermore concept design, beam column joint concept and pushover analysis are mentioned. In this paper various figures are illustrated for beam column failure mechanism are also given.
