Analysis of Multi-Storied Building with Prestressed Beam using ETABS

Concrete is good in compression and weak in tension and the steel is strong in tension. So the use of reinforced concrete to resist compression and to hold bars in position and to the steel resist tension. In India RCC structures are commonly used in residential as well as business buildings. Nowadays the Post Tensioning method is widely used due to its advantages. Post tensioning is a form of prestressing, that means the steel is stressed before the concrete has to support the service loads. In this paper is exposed to the assessment of execution of Reinforced concrete beam (RCC beam) and Post-Tensioning beam (PT beam) multistoried building structure framework with seismic load using ETABS software. And also evaluate the performance of PT beam under different seismic zone (zone I, zone II) evaluate the performance of PT beam under soil type (medium soil) and compare the performance of RCC deep beam and PT beam with multistory building system with seismic loading performance.

Post Tensioning

Post-tensioning is a suitable, reliable and durable method for strengthening existing reinforced concrete bridge structures. The high efficiency of post-tensioning can be seen on many implemented applications for bridge reconstructions worldwide. There are still several thousands of beam and slab bridges the load capacity of which no longer meets the demanding transport conditions. The oldest reinforced concrete beam bridges, from 1905-1915, are designed according to the Austrian Ministry of Railways Bridge Standard of 1904 when the largest load to be considered was the 18-tonne road steamroller. These bridges are not dimensioned for the currently valid traffic load values. The paper deals with the strengthening of the parapet beam bridges from the period of 1905-1930. These bridges have two main beams pulled over the bridge deck which is supported by cross beams. The cross beams connect the two main beams, forming a half-frame in the transverse direction which provides spatial rigidity of the structure. The spans of these bridges are usually in the range of 15 to 25 m.
