Abstract This paper deals with effect of slender column on flat plate structure. The column is called slender if the height of is increased for functional purpose. The study is conducted on 18 flat-plate reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structural models. Among these18 models, 54 columns at three different locations (i.e. corner, edge and inner columns) are chosen for study. The models are developed using ETABS Software. Parametric study is performed by considering six different height of column ranging from 3048 mm to 6858 mm, using an increment of 762 mm along with three slab panels of size 4572 mm x 4572 mm, 6096 mm x6096 mm and 7620 mm x 7620 mm with five panels in both ways, considering both gravity and environmental load. The effect of slenderness ratio on load carrying capacity, design load and steel ratio is considered along with this the effect of additional moment due to slender compression member is also taken into account. It is observed that, columns in flat-plate structures are generally very sensitive if they are slender. It is observed that as the column length increases from 5502 mm and further, the steel ratio suddenly increases and it exceeds maximum allowed. As slenderness ratio increases, ratio of design load to the critical buckling load increases. Also resulting in increase of additional moment, decreasing load carrying capacity of column. This forces the design engineer to study effect of different parameter of the structure while designing high rise flat plate structure. Keywords: Flat Plate Structure, ETABS, Slenderness, Environmental load, design load and buckling load.

Comparison of symmetric and asymmetric steel diagrid structures by non linear...eSAT Journals
Abstract Diagonalized grid structures – “diagrids” - have emerged as one of the most innovative and adaptable approaches to structuring buildings in this millennium. Diagrid is a particular form of space truss, it consists of perimeter grid made up of a series of triangulated truss system. Diagrid is formed by intersecting the diagonal and horizontal components. Construction of multi‐storey building is rapidly increasing throughout the world. Advance in construction technology, materials, structural systems, various analysis and design software have facilitated the growth of various kinds of buildings. Diagrid buildings are emerging as structurally efficient as well as architecturally and aesthetically significant assemblies for tall buildings. Recently these diagrid structural systems have been widely used for tall buildings due to the structural efficiency and aesthetic potential provided by the unique geometric configuration of the system. This paper presents a 12 storey steel diagrid structure which is 36m in height. Symmetric and asymmetric structural configurations of diagrid structures were modelled and analyzed using SAP 2000 by considering Dead load, Live load and Seismic Loads (IS 1893-Part-1, 2002). Then FEMA 356 hinges (auto hinges) are assigned to the same structure and Nonlinear Static (Pushover) analysis is carried out by using seismic load as the pushover load case to find out the performance points that is Immediate Occupancy, Life Safety, and Collapse Prevention of diagrid elements using static pushover curve. At the same time spectral displacement demand & spectral displacement capacity as well as spectral acceleration demand and spectral acceleration capacity is compared to know the adequacy of the design by using ATC capacity spectrum method.

Design study of stressed mirror polishing (smp) fixtureeSAT Journals
Abstract
Stressed Mirror Polishing (SMP) is a technique developed for the fabrication of off-axis aspheric mirror segments in a rapid and
cost effective manner. In SMP, the polishing of the mirror is carried out along with specific loads which are capable of deforming
a spherical mirror into any desired aspherical shape and thus reducing the difficulty of aspheric mirror polishing. When the blank
is removed from SMP after spherical polish and metrology, the blank will relax to the required aspherical surface with-in desired
PV & RMS surface figure accuracies. This paper discusses the different FEM approaches that can be adopted for simulating the
deformations in the mirror blank. For preliminary study purpose, a 36-cm diameter off-axis, meniscus shaped parabolic roundel
and a Spherical roundel mirror blanks are taken and required deformations are achieved through various FEM approaches. The
net deformed surface is validated and compared with a best fit near spherical surface. Additionally the reversibility of the
technique is also proved with-in required Surface accuracies. It is felt necessary that these preliminary simulations should form
the basis in understanding the warping process and their locations, so that full SMP fixture can be designed which is capable of
warping the mirrors.

Optimized mould design of an Air cooler tankIOSR Journals
Proper modeling of mould for an air cooler tank is necessary to facilitate the ease for production line and weight reduction of the complete component assembly. The present research work aims at performing the structural analysis separately on 3 different models of moulds designed: Model-1: Mould extracted from the Pro-E software manufacturing module (say Thickness =‘t’). Model-2: Thickness reduced to half of the previous model for weight reduction. (t1= ½(t)) Model-3: Thickness reduced to half of the previous model for weight reduction. (t2= ¼(t)). The aim of the present work is to study the variation in displacement and stress values between Model-1, Model-2 and Model-3. This analysis is performed using FEM in ANSYS Software. The study is intended for appropriate reduction of thickness there by reducing the weight of complete assembly, which in turn reduces the complete cost of production of mould for an air cooler tank.

Abstract The main objective of this study is to investigate the structural integrity, stability and their comparison due to the effects of longer span floor systems considering some constancy in the multi-storied commercial and residential mixed-used structures. In recent times, mixed-use developments and buildings have created an up surging demand in perspective of relatively small area of lands like Bangladesh. But, the commercial developments consisting of underground basement required maximize serviceable column free open-floor spaces for more flexibility, marketability and uninterrupted executive car parking of the end-users. Now, the column free open-plan floor spaces, usually ranges from 18~27 ft, even up to 45 ft. or more [5], offers a bulky change in span length of the slab that results the longer span structure. Again, the longer span structure is directly related with the beam length which promptly affects the thickness of the slab as well as the sizes of beams, columns and the foundations. In this study, two different span lengths of the mixed-use structural Models are considered based on the economical range [18ft-30ft] of the RC floor systems. Then, both of the structural Models are compared based on the following parameters: design aspects, reduction in the number of components, sizes & thickness, weight of steel and volume of concrete. It is found that, longer span structure keeps highest effects on the RC columns and increase in size by 104.3%. This study will also be helpful for a designer to select an appropriate size of the structural components within the economical ranges of these types of particular RC structures in future Keywords: Regular Span Structure, Longer Span Structure, Flat Plate Slab, Flat Slab, Edge Supported Slab Andmat Foundation.

Abstract
Stress is plays an important role in a structural safety of the component and integral assemblies. Structural analysis comprises the set of physical laws and mathematics required to study and predict the behavior of structures. In the present work, Drop test analysis on a pen-drive with different materials is carried out using ANSYS, to evaluate the structural safety of component, when pen-drive is falling on ground with random velocity. Developing CAD model, meshing and results are analyzed by using ANSYS. Dimensions of pen-drive are considered with respect to industrial standards. Material properties are selected as per the ASTM standard (A36). This work comes under two categories. Initially carbon steel is used for the drop test analysis. Later carbon steel is replaced by kinematic inelastic material (Plastic material) to find the structural safety of component under drop test boundary conditions. Finally results are comparing with both materials value. Keywords: Pendrive model, Steel and kinematic bilinear materials , structural safety, and ANSYS.

Abstract Due to the present increase in world population, people in this world tend to occupy available locations present in any zone which also include zones falling in the high seismic zone categories. The buildings to be built in these seismic zones are more susceptible to earthquakes for obvious reasons, and the buildings constructed in such zones must be analysed and designed for the unpredictable earthquakes with unpredictable magnitudes by various lateral load resisting systems such as shear walls, bracings, tubular systems, coupled shear walls and even a combination of two load resisting systems called as dual systems. Present study includes linear-static and non-linear static analysis with different shear wall arrangements on dual systems such as flat slabs and shear walls & moment resisting frames and shear walls for different irregular plans using ETABS 9.7.4 software. Parameters such as point displacements, base shears, pushover curves are studied. Keywords: Dual Systems, Flat slabs, Pushover analysis, Shear walls.
Seismic vulnerability of flat plate column joint with out slab shear reinforc...eSAT Journals
Abstract During an earthquake, a brittle punching failure can arise in flat plate-column connections due to poor transfer capacity of shearing forces and unbalanced moments. To increase the shear capacity of the slab, various types of shear reinforcement can be used in the slab around the connection. The aim of the project is to study the response of slab column connections containing without slab shear reinforcement when subjected to combined gravity and cyclic lateral loading. At first a calibration model was developed to simulate the tested flat plate-column joint using finite element analysis program MASA. This model was used to predict the load displacement behaviour. The predicted behaviour was compared with the observed behaviour as reported by James Lee & Ian Robertson (Ref.4). The comparison showed that the model predicts the load level excellently but significantly over estimates the stiffness of the joint compared to that observed by James Lee & Ian Robertson. Since the present study is to compare the relative behaviour of slab-column joints provided without slab shear reinforcement, the error in the estimation of joint stiffness will not alter the comparative conclusions drawn. Thus, the developed model was validated for application to various types of column slab connection behaviour. Keywords: Flat plate, slab column joint, punching shear, Drift and cyclic lateral loading
Optimisation of earth quake response of tall building by using different fram...eSAT Journals
Abstract In India reinforced concrete structures are mostly used since this is the most convenient & economic system for low-rise buildings. However, for medium to high-rise buildings this type of structure is no longer economic because of increased dead load, less stiffness, span restriction and hazardous formwork. So the Structural engineers are facing the challenge of striving for the most efficient and economical design solution. Also Earthquake engineering should be extended to the design of earthquake sensitive tall buildings. Use of composite material is of particular interest, due to its significant potential in improving the overall performance through rather modest changes in manufacturing and constructional technologies. In India, many consulting engineers are reluctant to accept the use of composite steel-concrete structure because of its unfamiliarity and complexity in its analysis and design. But literature says that if properly configured, then composite steel-concrete system can provide extremely economical structural systems with high durability, rapid erection and superior seismic performance characteristics. This paper discusses Optimization of Earth quack response of tall building by using different types of framing system over the height of the building . So to optimize the earth quack response, a Ten story Combined model ( R.C.C, Composite and Steel frames) is developed and analyzed by using ETABS ; it proves that the combined model is better option.

Seismic analysis of high damping rubber bearings for base isolationeSAT Journals
Abstract
Base isolation is a mechanism that provides earthquake resistance to the new structure. The base isolation system decouples the building from the horizontal ground motion induced by earthquake, and offers very stiff vertical components to the base level of the superstructure in connection to substructure (foundation). It shifts the fundamental lateral period, dissipates the energy in damping, and reduces the amount of the lateral forces that transferred to the building, inter-story drift, and the floor acceleration.
The work deals with modelling and finite element analysis of a high damping rubber bearing in ANSYS 12.0. A displacement controlled transient analysis was done to analyse the behaviour of the isolator during earthquakes.

Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

The studies reveal that the theoretical investigations limit state method design is high bending strength, high load caring capacity, minimum deflection and minimum local buckling& distortional buckling compare to the working stress method. But working stress method is most economical compare to the limit state method design. Keywords bending strength, deflection, limit state method, purlins, roof trusses, working stress method.
Parametric study of light gauge steel lipped channel column sectioneSAT Journals
Abstract Light gauge steel lipped channel sections are being used popularly in shops, factories, automobile engineering and industries on account of their high strength to width ratio, simplicity in construction, flexibility in fabrication and high structural efficiency. A lot of research work has been carried out to study the structural behavior of axially loaded light gauge steel lipped column sections considering different parameters. However, structural behavior of light gauge steel lipped channel sections under eccentric loading has not received much attention. The present paper focuses on the experimental study of structural behavior of light gauge steel lipped channel sections under eccentric loading by varying loading position in between center of gravity and shear center of channel column section. Finite element analysis of the section is also done using Abaqus software for different positions of the load. The results indicate that, load carrying capacity of the section increases as the loading position shifts towards supported edge of the section. The failure of the section occurs in the form of local-distortional buckling approximately between 1/3rd - ½ of the height of column. Results obtained by software are found to be in good agreement with experimental results.

Mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete for pavementseSAT Journals
Abstract
The effect of addition of mono fibers and hybrid fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete mixture is studied in the present
investigation. Steel fibers of 1% and polypropylene fibers 0.036% were added individually to the concrete mixture as mono fibers and
then they were added together to form a hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. Mechanical properties such as compressive, split tensile and
flexural strength were determined. The results show that hybrid fibers improve the compressive strength marginally as compared to
mono fibers. Whereas, hybridization improves split tensile strength and flexural strength noticeably.

Material management in construction – a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to understand about all the problems occurring in the company because of improper application
of material management. In construction project operation, often there is a project cost variance in terms of the material, equipments,
manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Laboratory investigation of expansive soil stabilized with natural inorganic ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.
Influence of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block masonry p...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

Abstract
Composite Circular hollow Steel tubes with and without GFRP infill for three different grades of Light weight concrete are tested for
ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under Cyclic loading. Steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and
thickness. Specimens were tested separately after adopting Taguchi’s L9 (Latin Squares) Orthogonal array in order to save the initial
experimental cost on number of specimens and experimental duration. Analysis was carried out using ANN (Artificial Neural
Network) technique with the assistance of Mini Tab- a statistical soft tool. Comparison for predicted, experimental & ANN output is
obtained from linear regression plots. From this research study, it can be concluded that *Cross sectional area of steel tube has most
significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity, *as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased & *ANN
modeling predicted acceptable results. Thus ANN tool can be utilized for predicting ultimate load carrying capacity for composite
columns.

Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

Abstract
The effect of a skew angle on single-span reinforced concrete bridges is analyzed using the finite-element method and the results are
presented in this paper. Investigations are carried out on RC slab bridge decks with and without edge beams to study the influence of
aspect ratio, skew angle and type of load. The finite-element analysis results for skewed bridges are compared to the reference
straight bridges for dead load, IRC Class A loading and IRC 70R loading for with and without edge beam. A total of 90 bridge models
are analyzed. The variation of maximum deflection, maximum longitudinal sagging bending moment, maximum torsional moment, and
maximum support reaction with skew angle is studied for all 90 bridge deck models. The FEA results of Dead load and Live load
bending moments and deflections decreases with increase in skew angle, where as maximum support reactions increases with increase
in skew angle and the maximum torsional moment increases with skew angle up to 45 degrees and there after decreases. The benefit
of providing edge beam is reflected in significant decrease in deflection, longitudinal bending moment and torsional moment.

This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric

Abstract
This paper deals with effect of slender column on flat plate structure. The column is called slender if the height of is increased for
functional purpose. The study is conducted on 18 flat-plate reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structural models. Among these18
models, 54 columns at three different locations (i.e. corner, edge and inner columns) are chosen for study. The models are
developed using ETABS Software. Parametric study is performed by considering six different height of column ranging from 3048
mm to 6858 mm, using an increment of 762 mm along with three slab panels of size 4572 mm x 4572 mm, 6096 mm x6096 mm and
7620 mm x 7620 mm with five panels in both ways, considering both gravity and environmental load. The effect of slenderness
ratio on load carrying capacity, design load and steel ratio is considered along with this the effect of additional moment due to
slender compression member is also taken into account. It is observed that, columns in flat-plate structures are generally very
sensitive if they are slender. It is observed that as the column length increases from 5502 mm and further, the steel ratio suddenly
increases and it exceeds maximum allowed. As slenderness ratio increases, ratio of design load to the critical buckling load
increases. Also resulting in increase of additional moment, decreasing load carrying capacity of column. This forces the design
engineer to study effect of different parameter of the structure while designing high rise flat plate structure.
Keywords: Flat Plate Structure, ETABS, Slenderness, Environmental load, design load and buckling load.
--------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. INTRODUCTION
The slender column is one having smaller cross sectional
dimensions as compared to its length. In a structure, a
slender column has less strength as compared to short
column with the same sectional area. Due to this the slender
column carries lesser load as compared to the short column.
Generally in India the two type of structure is constructed
such as beam-column frame structure and flat plat structure
including sway & non sway frame.
Slender columns are those members whose ultimate load
carrying capacities are affected by the slenderness effect,
which produces additional bending stresses or instability of
columns. Therefore, evaluation of a slender column involves
consideration of the column length in addition to its cross
section. The column having ratio of effective length to its
list lateral dimension exceed or equal to 12 according to IS
456-2000 is treated as slender column.
The slender column is developed in multistoried structure
due to increasing ground floor height for functional purpose
or architectural purpose. On the other hand, the modern
trend is towards taller and slender structures.
Flat plate buildings have been damaged on a very large
scale, because these structure are analyzed and designed as
per IS code. Hence it is required to evaluate actual
performance of flat plate structure subjected to dynamic and
gravity loads.
2. MODELLING AND ANALYSIS
2.1 Model Development
ETABS version 9.7.4 is chosen for the parametric study. All
the flat-plate models consist of G+12 stories and are of a
square shape building with opening at middle. Every floor
consists of five panels in each direction and a shear wall at
the middle of the building. The foundation for columns and
shear walls are assigned as fixed support.
The ground floor is increased from 3048 mm to 6858 mm
height with an increment of 762 mm for the parametric
study purposes. The other story height is 3048 mm and kept
unchanged in all structures and analysed.
The clear cover of concrete column is 30 mm. The
compressive strength of concrete is 25 MPa. Strength of
steel is 500 MPa and Modulus of Elasticity is 25000
(N/mm2
).
2.2 Problem Statement
The parametric study of 18 models (3 models for each
floor panel size having 6 varying column lengths) is done
for flat-plate structure with opening at the middle of
building with tube shape shear wall of 230 mm thickness in
core of the structure. Following are three cases of slab panel
sizes designed by direct design method using IS 456-2000
and all slab depth is safe for shear.

4. RESULT AND DISSCUSTION
4.1 Effect on Column
Chart no. 2, 3,5,6,8 and 9 shows result of critical buckling
load (Pc), design load (Pu), ratio of design load to the critical
buckling load (Pu/Pc), and slenderness ratio for different
cases. The end conditions, effectively held in position and
restrained against rotation at one end and restrained against
rotation but not held in position at other is provided, this end
condition is considered for study in which effective length
of column is taken as 1.2 x L.
The buckling load is calculate from following equation,
where k is effective length factor, l is length of compression
member, E is the elastic modulus of column, I is the
minimum moment of inertia.
Pc=
𝜋2 𝐸𝐼
(𝑘𝑙)2
The slenderness ratio is calculated by following equation,
𝜆 =
𝑙 𝑒𝑥
𝐷
Where, λ is slenderness ratio, lex is effective length in
respect of the major axis, and D is the depth in respect of the
major axis,
4.1.1 Corner Column
Chart-2: Pc load variation for corner column for all cases
Chart-3: variation of Pu/Pc in corner column for all cases
According to (IS 456cl.39.7.1), the design of slender
compression members shall be based on the forces and the
moments determined from an analysis of structure,
including the effect of deflection on moments and forces.
When the effect of deflections is not taken into account in
the analysis, additional moment shall be taken into account
in the appropriate direction. Following chart 4 shows
additional moment in corner column due to slender effect
from ETABS.
Chart-4: Additional moment in corner column for all cases
Closure
For all cases, corner column fails when slenderness ratio
exceeds 22 and shows slender behavior while Pu increases
about 29% of Pc. Pc decreased by 27.5% when slenderness
ratio increases about 14.91% with Pu increased about 0.25%
for all cases. When slenderness ratio increases by 14.91%,
the additional moment due to slender compression member
is increases by 24.90%.

Closure
For case 3, inner columns fail when slenderness ratio
exceeds 16.256. The column shows slender behavior when
Pu increases about 26.26 % of Pc. When slenderness ratio
increases about 14.91%, Pc decreased about 27.5% and Pu
increased about 0.8% for all cases. For slender inner
column, the slenderness ratio increases by 12.64%, the
additional moment due to slender compression member is
increases by 23.845%.An inner column for case 3 needs
more attention than for same column in case1.
5. CONCLUSION
From the research work done as per above, following
conclusion can be drawn, Design load increases about 30%
of critical buckling load for all panels. The buckling load
decreases by 27.5% along with increase in additional
moments by 25%, when slenderness ratio increases about
14.91%.Thus in flat plate structure, corner and edge
columns are more sensitive to slender effect than that of
inner column. A corner column for all case needs more
attention than edge and inner column.
