ABSTRACT
The aim of study is to design a structure so that it fulfils three criteria namely safety including strength, stability and
structural integrity. For the analysis purpose, modular ratio concept makes it possible to transform the composite
section into an equivalent homogeneous section made up entirely of one material. The stress can be computed with
transformed section by applying the flexure formula. In this case the second moment of area of the transformed
section has to be considered. Continuous research by designers in modified approaches to understand, improve,
and develop a property of economical design in a new type of modulus of elasticity for reinforced cement concrete
known as ERCC for reinforced cement concrete. This paper deals with the results of conventional design and of
G+5, G+10, G+15, G+20, G+25 &G+32 storey building. The basic aim of this research work is to use an equation
for ERCC so as to arrive at economical design of RCC multi-storeyed building. The equation proposed for ERCC of
beam as well as column can be very effective in case of RCC building. The analysis and design of various portal
frames has been undertaken to illustrate the use of proposed equation of ERCC. The analysis of these frames is
carried out through ETABS software.

1. INTRODUCTION

In structural analysis, especially in indeterminate structures, it become essential to know material and geometrical
properties of member. The codal provision recommends elastic properties of concrete and steel and these are fairly
accurate enough. As two important material properties such as AE &EI play important role in analysis of high rise
RCC building idealized as plane frame. The modulus of elasticity most commonly used for concrete is scant
modulus. The modulus of elasticity of steel is obtained by performing a tension test of steel bar. But modulus of
elasticity for reinforced cement concrete is obtained by experimental and analytical programs with percentage of
reinforcement variations, cross area of plain concrete is taken into consideration whereas effect of reinforcement
bars and concrete confined by stirrups are neglected. The IS codal provision recommend elastic properties of
concrete and steel which are fairly accurate enough. These elastic properties are known independently for concrete
and steel. While performing analysis by any software for high rise building, cross area of concrete plane section is
taken into consideration whereas effects of reinforcement bars and concrete confined by stirrups are neglected,
hence an empirical relation is used for evaluation of material property of RCC members. Modulus of elasticity for
reinforced cement concrete (ERCC) has Significance in practical design. The basic aim of this project work is to
assess the behavior of multi-storeyed RCC frames. The equation proposed for ERCC of beam as well as column can
be very effective in case of RCC building. The analysis and design of various portal frames has been undertaken in
this work.

All columns are to be treated as being subjected to axial compression combined with biaxial bending as the design
must account for possible eccentricities in loading (emin at least) with respect to both major and minor principle axis
of the column section. Uniaxial loading is an idealized approximation which can be made when the e/D ratio with

respect to one of the two principle axes can be considered as negligible. If the e/D ratios are negligible with respect
to both principle axes, conditions of axial loading may be assumed, as a further approximation. The basic aim of this
research work is to use an equation for ERCC so as to arrive at economical design of Rcc multi-storeyed building.

2. LITERATURE STUDY
Kulkarni S. et.al. [1] analyzed elastic property of RCC under flexural loading. The author experimentally
investigated RCC models under flexural loading. Possible combinations of reinforcement for flexure test for M20,
M25, and M30 grade of concrete were considered. Also the authors carried out FE analysis for realistic behavior of
RC material with lot of combinations required in modelling by ANSYS. Various parameters were considered which
oversee the highly accurate nonlinear behavior of RC beams.
Pulmano V., Shin Y. [2] presented a simpler finite element method for predicting the instantaneous and long term
deflection of statically determinate or indeterminate ordinary reinforced and partially / fully prestressed beams.
Espion B., Halleux P. [3] carried out a series of tests on rectangular reinforced concrete beam subjected to bending
and constant compressive normal force. The moment curvature relationships were evaluated and compared with
prediction of two theoretical modules. The first model was CEB model proposed by Favre and Koprna. It was a
simplified model which refers to the un-cracked and fully cracked stiffness in pure bending only. The second model
was a proposition made by the author which takes into account the tensioning effect, the variation in the position
of natural axis as a function of eccentricity of normal force and the non-linear behavior of concrete in compression.
Anastasios S. et al. [4] assessed the design charts for Rectangular RC columns under biaxial bending conducting
review of the historical context. The authors critically assessed the evolution in time and provided a new series,
compliant to the latest draft of British Codes. This study arised from the different assumptions and recommended
values prescribed in the respective National Annexes. The charts presented by this paper were expected to provide a
valuable tool for the professional community, facilitating the use of British Codes and minimize the epistemic
uncertainty associated with the use of older or incompatible design charts in the design of reinforced concrete
members.

3. STRUCTURAL DETAILS
For this present study analysis and design of multistory buildings RC frame structure is conforming to IS 456-2000
The structural systems considered for this study are typical symmetric-in-plan RC frame structures having ground +
two storied configurations, intended for a regular office building in the seismic zone III as per IS 1893 . The RC
design for this building is based on IS 456 guidelines. The study building is assumed to be located in zone III, The
building frames have been analyzed using ERCC and without ERCC i.e. conventional design.

All study structures have the same arrangement. The floor to floor height is 3.0 m for all the storeys and the depth of
foundation is 3.0 m. The RC frames are designed with M30 & M40 grade concrete (having 28 days characteristic
cube strength of 30 MPa &40 MPa respectively) and Fe415 grade reinforcements (having characteristic yield
strength of 415 MPa)

4. CONCLUSIONS

1. Using ERCC equation for multi-story buildings results shows reduction in percentage of steel increases
with increase in height of building.
2. As the structure become economical in designing, the reduction in column size also possible.
3. Cost comparison also shows the considerable difference in high-rise structure as compare to low rise
buildings.
