Abstract:

While analyzing a multistorey building frame, conventionally all the probable loads are applied after modeling the entire building frame. But in practice the frame is constructed in various stages. Accordingly, the stability of frame varies at every construction stage. Even during construction freshly placed concrete floor is supported by previously cast floor by formwork. Thus, the loads assumed in conventional analysis will vary in transient situation. Obviously, results obtained by the traditional analysis will be unsuitable. Therefore, the frame should be analyzed at every construction stage taking into account variation in loads. The phenomenon known as Construction Stage Analysis considers these uncertainties precisely. The present study provides a comparison of conventional analysis with construction stage analysis for a commercial building using ETABS v15.
