In this study, a three-dimensional, four-storied, rein-forced concrete (RC) building is designed for seismic zone-IV and seismically evaluated for different infill configurations along with consideration of openings in infills to develop a realistic model. Four models are considered, i.e. model I (full RC-infilled frame without lintel beam), model II (bare frame without lintel beam), model III (full RC-infilled frame with lintel beam) and model IV (bare frame with lintel beam). In this study, we have evaluated the effect of lintel beams on response reduction factor of the frame structure. The nonlinear static adaptive pushover analysis has been done using Seismostruct program. In seismic design, the response reduction factor (R-factor) reduces from the elastic to inelastic strength. The R-factor is one of the design tools to show the level of inelasticity in a structure and so it has significant importance in the earthquake engineering field. The response reduction factor mainly consists of ‘ductility reduction factor’ and ‘over strength factor’, which are evaluated from static adaptive pushover analysis. Ultimately the response reduction factor isobtained for the building and compared with the value recommended by IS 1893 Part-1 (2016). The results depict that the R-factor values of full RC-infilled frames and bare frames with incorporation of lintel beams are higher than other frames without lintel beam. However, R-factor values of bare frames are lower than the corresponding values recommended in the BIS code.

Abstract


In this study, a three-dimensional, four-storied, rein-forced concrete (RC) building is designed for seismic zone-IV and seismically evaluated for different infill configurations along with consideration of openings in infills to develop a realistic model. Four models are considered, i.e. model I (full RC-infilled frame without lintel beam), model II (bare frame without lintel beam), model III (full RC-infilled frame with lintel beam) and model IV (bare frame with lintel beam). In this study, we have evaluated the effect of lintel beams on response reduction factor of the frame structure. The nonlinear static adaptive pushover analysis has been done using Seismostruct program. In seismic design, the response reduction factor (R-factor) reduces from the elastic to inelastic strength. The R-factor is one of the design tools to show the level of inelasticity in a structure and so it has significant importance in the earthquake engineering field. The response reduction factor mainly consists of ‘ductility reduction factor’ and ‘over strength factor’, which are evaluated from static adaptive pushover analysis. Ultimately the response reduction factor isobtained for the building and compared with the value recommended by IS 1893 Part-1 (2016). The results depict that the R-factor values of full RC-infilled frames and bare frames with incorporation of lintel beams are higher than other frames without lintel beam. However, R-factor values of bare frames are lower than the corresponding values recommended in the BIS code.
