Comparative Study on R.C.C and Composite Building

Abstract

The composite reinforced concrete structure has gained widespread recognition worldwide as an alternative to pure steel and pure concrete structures. However, this approach is a new concept for the construction sector. Composite reinforced concrete elements are widely used in modern buildings. Extensive research of composite column, composite beam and bridge deck, where the structural steel profile is packed in precast concrete. However, for medium to high buildings, the RCC structure is no longer economical due to increased self-loading, less rigidity, span control and dangerous shape. The results of this work show that composite structures are the most effective solution for high structure compared to the structure of R.C.C.
