This study explores the seismic performance of two distinct building typologies conventional Reinforced Concrete (RCC) and Steel-Concrete Composite buildings using ETABS software. The research involves the analysis of a G + 20 storey building with irregular geometries, specifically C and L-shaped configurations, to simulate the complexity encountered in real-world scenarios. Both RCC and steel-concrete composite structures are designed for different seismic zones (II, III, IV, and V) as per Indian Standard codes, representing regions with varying levels of seismic hazard. In addition, the study incorporates multiple soil conditions, including soft, medium, and hard soil profiles, to assess the impact of ground conditions on the seismic performance of the buildings. ETABS software, a widely used tool in structural design and analysis, is employed for the modeling and evaluation of the buildings' dynamic behavior under seismic loads. The analysis includes the assessment of seismic parameters such as base shear, lateral displacement, and story drift for both building types across different seismic zones and soil conditions. The study aims to validate the results with available literature to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the findings. Through this comparative analysis, the study provides insights into the structural efficiency and performance of steel-concrete composite G + 20 storey irregular shape buildings versus traditional RCC G + 20 storey irregular shape buildings, offering valuable data for various seismic zones (II, III, IV, V) with varying soil conditions in diverse conditions. RCC building Steel-Concrete Composite building Seismic analysis Lateral displacement Base shear Story drift Seismic zones Soil condition Figures Figure 1 INTRODUCTION The analysis of buildings under seismic effects is fundamental aspects of structural engineering, particularly in earthquake-prone regions. The resilience and safety of structures during seismic events depend on their ability to withstand dynamic loads and deformations caused by ground motion. In recent years, advanced software tools, such as ETABS, have become instrumental in the structural analysis and design of buildings, enabling engineers to accurately model complex structures under various loading conditions, including seismic forces. Among the different types of structural systems, Reinforced Concrete (RCC) and Steel-Concrete Composite (SCC) buildings are widely used due to their adaptability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. RCC buildings, made primarily of concrete and reinforced with steel, are known for their durability and high strength in compression. Integrating steel and concrete results in enhanced load-bearing capacity improved ductility, and better performance under seismic loading. ETABS enables the modeling of building systems, including RCC and composite structures, under static and dynamic loading conditions. With its advanced features, it offers solutions for calculating internal forces, displacements, and member designs while considering the seismic forces imposed on the building. It is observed that composite buildings had significantly smaller time periods and storey displacements compared to RCC buildings, indicating a stiffer response to seismic forces (Mahajan, Kalurkar 2016 ). This project aims to explore the analysis of RCC G + 20 storey irregular shape and steel-concrete composite G + 20 storey irregular shape buildings under seismic loading, with a particular focus on the use of ETABS software. It delves into the methods and techniques employed to assess seismic behavior, the advantages of using composite structures over conventional RCC systems. In high-rise structure RCC members are no longer suitable because of their increased dead load, limitation of span length and less stiffness. To overcome such defects structural engineers are using different materials to their best utilization. There is a great potential for increasing volume of steel in construction, steel can be used as an alternative construction material. The composite section using steel encased with concrete is effective solution in major civil structures. Concept Composite Structure Composite structure can be defined as the structures in which composite sections made up of two different types of materials such as steel and concrete are used for beams and columns. Composite construction combines the better properties in both, concrete in compression and steel in tension, they have almost the same thermal expansion and results in speedy construction. Two different materials are tied together by the use of shear studs at their interface having lesser depth in composite construction. Structural components use in composite construction consists of the following elements. (Mahajan, Kalurkar 2016 ) a) Composite column A steel concrete composite column is a compressive element that consists of both concrete encased hot rolled steel section and a concrete filled hollow section of hot rolled steel. These columns are widely employed as load-resisting components in composite framework systems where they mainly resist compressive and bending forces. In these columns, the steel and concrete collaborate to withstand external loads, with their combined action depending on bonding and friction. (Dahal, Suwal 2019 , Anargha, Mithulraj 2019 ) b) Composite beam In conventional composite construction, concrete slabs rest over steel beams and are supported by them. Under load these two components act independently and a relative slip occurs at the interface if there is no connection between them. With the help of a deliberate and appropriate connection provided between them can be eliminated. In this case the steel beam and the slab act as a “composite beam" and their action is similar to that of a monolithic Tee beam. Also we can use concrete encased steel section as composite beam. (Dahal, Suwal 2019 , Anargha, Mithulraj 2019 ) c) Composite slab Composite slabs comprise reinforced concrete cast on top of profiled steel decking, which acts as formwork during construction and external reinforcement at the final stage. A composite floor system produces a ridged horizontal diagram that provides stability to the overall building system while at the same time, distributing wind and seismic shears to the lateral load resisting systems. Composite action increases the load carry capacity and stiffness. LITERATURE REVIEW Madan, Samrutwar (2023), “Seismic Evaluation of Building having Steel Concrete Composite Columns and RC Beams”. This study is conducted on a G+9 storey regular building located in Zone V, featuring concrete-encased steel column sections and RC beams.

A comprehensive response spectrum analysis was carried out to evaluate the seismic performance of the frames. The results indicated that both BRBs and VDs effectively reduced seismic response in these buildings, with VDs being more efficient in reducing the time period and base shear by 65–73% and 80–90% respectively and BRBs demonstrating better performance in reducing the maximum overturning moment in irregular building configurations. The study found that VDs are more effective seismic control devices for composite buildings.

FUTURE SCOPE In this paper provides valuable insights into the seismic behavior of reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and steel-concrete composite (SCC) buildings under dynamic loads, specifically focusing on their performance using ETABS software. However, there are several avenues for future research and development that could further enhance the understanding of seismic performance, as well as the practical application of these construction systems. Some future research includes: While ETABS provides detailed simulations, experimental validation through full-scale shaking table tests and field measurements would offer a more empirical understanding of the seismic response of both RCC and SCC buildings. Future research could involve setting up real-world experiments to validate and refine the computational models used in the analysis. Use different column sections for analysis of composite column building. Various irregular shapes of building with RCC and steel concrete composite building.

The resilience and safety of structures during seismic events depend on their ability to withstand dynamic loads and deformations caused by ground motion. In recent years, advanced software tools, such as ETABS, have become instrumental in the structural analysis and design of buildings, enabling engineers to accurately model complex structures under various loading conditions, including seismic forces. Among the different types of structural systems, Reinforced Concrete (RCC) and Steel-Concrete Composite (SCC) buildings are widely used due to their adaptability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. RCC buildings, made primarily of concrete and reinforced with steel, are known for their durability and high strength in compression. Integrating steel and concrete results in enhanced load-bearing capacity improved ductility, and better performance under seismic loading. ETABS enables the modeling of building systems, including RCC and composite structures, under static and dynamic loading conditions. With its advanced features, it offers solutions for calculating internal forces, displacements, and member designs while considering the seismic forces imposed on the building. It is observed that composite buildings had significantly smaller time periods and storey displacements compared to RCC buildings, indicating a stiffer response to seismic forces (Mahajan, Kalurkar \u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2016\u003c/span\u003e). This project aims to explore the analysis of RCC G\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;20 storey irregular shape and steel-concrete composite G\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;20 storey irregular shape buildings under seismic loading, with a particular focus on the use of ETABS software. It delves into the methods and techniques employed to assess seismic behavior, the advantages of using composite structures over conventional RCC systems. In high-rise structure RCC members are no longer suitable because of their increased dead load, limitation of span length and less stiffness. To overcome such defects structural engineers are using different materials to their best utilization. There is a great potential for increasing volume of steel in construction, steel can be used as an alternative construction material. The composite section using steel encased with concrete is effective solution in major civil structures.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConcept Composite Structure\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposite structure can be defined as the structures in which composite sections made up of two different types of materials such as steel and concrete are used for beams and columns. Composite construction combines the better properties in both, concrete in compression and steel in tension, they have almost the same thermal expansion and results in speedy construction. Two different materials are tied together by the use of shear studs at their interface having lesser depth in composite construction. Structural components use in composite construction consists of the following elements. (Mahajan, Kalurkar \u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2016\u003c/span\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec3\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003ea) Composite column\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA steel concrete composite column is a compressive element that consists of both concrete encased hot rolled steel section and a concrete filled hollow section of hot rolled steel. These columns are widely employed as load-resisting components in composite framework systems where they mainly resist compressive and bending forces. In these columns, the steel and concrete collaborate to withstand external loads, with their combined action depending on bonding and friction.

Under load these two components act independently and a relative slip occurs at the interface if there is no connection between them. With the help of a deliberate and appropriate connection provided between them can be eliminated. In this case the steel beam and the slab act as a \u0026ldquo;composite beam\" and their action is similar to that of a monolithic Tee beam. Also we can use concrete encased steel section as composite beam.

This study explores the seismic performance of two distinct building typologies conventional Reinforced Concrete (RCC) and Steel-Concrete Composite buildings using ETABS software. The research involves the analysis of a G\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;20 storey building with irregular geometries, specifically C and L-shaped configurations, to simulate the complexity encountered in real-world scenarios. Both RCC and steel-concrete composite structures are designed for different seismic zones (II, III, IV, and V) as per Indian Standard codes, representing regions with varying levels of seismic hazard. In addition, the study incorporates multiple soil conditions, including soft, medium, and hard soil profiles, to assess the impact of ground conditions on the seismic performance of the buildings. ETABS software, a widely used tool in structural design and analysis, is employed for the modeling and evaluation of the buildings' dynamic behavior under seismic loads. The analysis includes the assessment of seismic parameters such as base shear, lateral displacement, and story drift for both building types across different seismic zones and soil conditions. The study aims to validate the results with available literature to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the findings. Through this comparative analysis, the study provides insights into the structural efficiency and performance of steel-concrete composite G\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;20 storey irregular shape buildings versus traditional RCC G\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;20 storey irregular shape buildings, offering valuable data for various seismic zones (II, III, IV, V) with varying soil conditions in diverse conditions.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Analysis of RCC and Steel-Concrete Composite Building under Seismic Effect using ETABs","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-06-11 10:12:14","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6831065/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
