Static and Dynamic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Framed Building: A Comparative Study

2013 
Reinforced concrete frame buildings are most common type of construction in urban India, which is subjected to several types of forces during their life time such as static forces and dynamic forces due to wind and earthquakes. The static loads are constant with time, while dynamic loads are time varying, causing considerable inertia effects .It depends mainly on location of building, importance of its use and size of the building. Its consideration in analysis makes the solution more complicated and time consuming and its negligence may sometimes becomes the cause of disaster during earthquake. So it is growing interest in the process of designing civil engineering structures capable to withstand dynamic loads . The behavior of building under dynamic forces depends upon its mass and stiffness properties, whereas the static behavior is solely dependent upon the stiffness characteristics.
