Comparison of R.C.C. Frames with Rectangular and Special Shaped Columns

Adil Shaikh, R.M. Sawant

Abstract


In general, the R.C.C. framed structure are constructed using square, rectangular or circular columns. But the columns may be constructed of any shape. In this study, an effort has been made to study the behavior of R.C.C. framed structure by replacement of regular rectangular columns with special shaped column (like L, T, + shaped columns). Total 8 structures have been compared having different combinations of column, response spectrum of each case is studied. The conclusion from the study is that the structure with L, + and rectangular column has the least lateral displacement and the frame with plus and rectangular column has maximum displacement. The frames with special shaped column are more flexible as compared to the rectangular shaped columns.
