The majority of building structures are designed and constructed in reinforced concrete which is mainly depends upon availability of the constituent materials and the level of skill required in construction, as well as the practicality of design codes. R.C.C is no longer economical because of their increased dead load, hazardous formwork. However composite construction is a new concept for construction industry. The use of modern composite systems, allowing the erection of multi-story structural frames to proceed at pace, can make it economically prohibitive to delay the construction of each floor while concrete columns are cast. In Japan, however, the superior earthquake resistant properties of composite beam-columns have been long recognized and have become a commonly used for construction in that region. It was therefore necessary to develop seismic design criteria for typically used Indian structural systems, to advance the use of this efficient type of mixed construction. This Project shows comparison of various aspects of building. In this project a residential of G+11 multi-story building is studied for Pushover Analysis using ETABS, assuming that material property linear, static and dynamic analysis is performed. These non-linear analysis are carried out and different parameters like displacement, storey drift, Performance point, base shear are plotted. Now it is the demand of time that every structure must be analyzed and designed for lateral forces such as earthquake and wind forces. But generally it is found that the cross sectional area of RCC structural member comes out very heavy with large amount of constituent material such as steel & concrete, which takes large space in construction of multistory building. Under such circumstances composite structure is one of the best options, which not only takes care for earthquake forces but also gives less cross sectional area of structural member and provides large space for utilization in economical way.
