Time History Analysis on Precast Building Connections

Abstract

Construction industry is one of the most important factor for the development of the country. Precast buildings are one of the major development in construction technology, this technology helps to reduce the construction time and cost. Precast building construction is widely improved at present in India. The Growth of the precast building construction improved in large scale but construction and Design faults made the Precast buildings week in seismic areas. Due to seismic effect Beam column connections are very critical in Precast buildings ,Generally precast buildings are constructed with help connecting with proper joints of prefabricated elements. Designers are assumed that Beam-column connections are hinged one but in real time execution process the connections are Different from assumption. In present study we consider the three types of Beam-columns connections such as Rigid connection ,semi-Rigid connection and Hinged connections are developed in G+20 High rise building .These High rise building analysed with help of Time history analysis of High Seismic waves, Moderate Seismic waves and Low seismic waves .It helps to Identify the behaviour of connections and The results of Top Displacements , story Drifts and Inter storey Drifts are compared for the Different connections and Different Seismic waves.
