The related work of modeling and analysis of a
reinforced concrete frame with integral floor panels and
walls with windows and door openings is a challenging job
to the analyst. However ANSYS has the capabilities to
handle this.

VII. CONCLUSION
100 identified problems are so complex that analytical
solutions are not possible. Experimental investigation are
prohibitively expensive however FE Modeling using
ANSYS software is demonstrated to provide accurate
numerical solution over a wide range of parameters involved
the graphical post processing capabilities is exploited to
