摘要

In this paper, a comparative study has been carried out between Confined Masonry (CM) and Reinforced Concrete (RC) building structures using SAP2000. Two similar building structures, one made of CM and the other made of RC have been modeled in SAP2000. CM building is modeled using shell elements and RC frame building is modeled using frame elements. The same loadings in the form of dead load, live load, and seismic load have been applied to both structures. It has been observed that confined masonry structure exhibits higher base shear and lower story drift as compared to that reinforced concrete structure. Further, it has also been observed that construction cost is less for confined masonry buildings than that for reinforced concrete buildings for the same building configuration.
