Comparative Study of a R.C.C Structure for the Elimination of Expansion Joint Subjected to Temperature Stresses

Abstract

This comparative study focuses on the behavior of a mid-rise long building in the presence and absence of an expansion joint under seismic, wind and temperature loading using Staad Pro software. In this study 2 models are subjected to different load cases involving gravitational loads, temperature loads, seismic and wind loads in the presence and absence of expansion joint and the parameters like displacements, drifts, bending moments and steel consumption were evaluated. From the study it was observed that both the Models showed considerably lesser values of parameters like Steel consumption, Maximum Bending Moments, Storey drift and Average displacements in the presence of an expansion joint. Based on the overall output is can be suggested that the elimination of the expansion joint should be considered only for Model A because in case of Model B the structure was seen to become very uneconomical with increased values of the parameters compared under higher seismic zones.
