ANALYZING THE EFFECT OF CROSS-SECTIONAL CHANGE OF COLUMN ON MULTI STORIED BUILDING (G+10) USING STAAD PRO

In this article, the structural members with varying different cross sections of column that affect the structure’s stability is analyzed using STAAD Pro (Structural Analysis And Designing Program). For the simple study of a G+10 residential system, beams under continuous beams with fixed supports with different column forms such as circle, rectangle and square along with dead, live, and wind loads used to execute the structural analysis. While the building is designed for dead load, live load, and wind loads as per IS 875 (part 1, 2,3 &5) -1987, the design wind pressure should be provided along height of building. The building is designed and analysed for the maximum bending moments and shear forces by trial and error. We have mentioned three cases to know the effect of shapes on continuous beam with fixed supports. And also, the comparisons of maximum bending moments, factored column load, shear forces, Ast values (Ast = Area of steel reinforcement), and Asc values (Asc = Area of compression steel reinforcement) through the graphs for all cases separately.
