1 Introduction

Lightweight concrete has low density and is adaptable forconstruction of buildings in low-seismic zones Structuralseismic responses are based on mass of the structure or deadweight of the structure the selection of materials to maintainthe dead weight low should be adopted Concrete is used toconstruct any structure the ingredients of the concrete arecement sand and aggregates 70 of the concrete is com-posed of aggregates (fine and coarse aggregates) Selection ofsuch aggregates has been investigated by a number of re-searchers for the very long time and stated the approximatecompostion of materials for structural lightweight concrete[1 2] ere are so many lightweight aggregates available inthe market one has to choose which is less porous less denseand economical and performs better

e first modern use of high-performance lightweightconcrete is when a lightweight concrete ship was built in 1917to 1920 using 35MPa concrete High strength is achieved inlightweight concrete by incorporating various pozzalanswith mid-range water reducing admixtures e concretestructure which houses Bank of America Corporate Centre

and Charlotte North Carolina is a tall building with a heightof 265m and having sixty storeys e floor system consistsof 117mm thick slab supported on a 460mm deep beamcentred at 3m e strength of concrete varied between 43and 51MPa while the density of concrete is 1890 kgm3Similar experiences are reported in bridges also nearly500 bridges have incorporated lightweight concrete intodeck beams girders or piersey are also increasingly usedin prefabricated construction because of easier towinggreater buoyancy and less expensive for handling Com-pressive strength up to 100MPa with lightweight of1800 kgm3 concrete has been reported e main aim ofusing lightweight concrete is to reduce the dead loadof a concrete structure which then allows the structuraldesigner to reduce the size of columns footings and otherload-bearing elements in the structure

Alaettin Kilic and Cengiz Duran Atis in 2002 [1] hadreported that structural lightweight concrete with basicpumice used as lightweight aggregate with and withoutadmixtures gives compressive strength up to 43MPa andtensile strength up to 89MPa by the use of silica fumes up to10 by weight of cement e lightweight scoria aggregates

can be utilized to reduce the earthquake acceleration byproducing structural lightweight aggregates

Ramazan Demirboga and Rustem Gul in 2002 [3] hadreported that thermal conductivity of concrete made up ofexpanded perlite and pumice aggregates with replacementof cement with fly ash and silica fumes with 10 20 and30 by weight gives good results for thermal conductivityof concrete ermal conductivity of concrete is decreasedby 435 in expanded perlite aggregates

2 Analytical Study

21 Modelling and Material Properties A six-storied rein-forced concrete framed structure is modelled using standardsoftware [6] that is STAAD PRO (Structural Analysis andAidedDesign) [4]e structural model is shown in Figure 1Beams and columns are arranged in such a way that eachbeam is 75m in length so the secondary beams are actingat each 25m length these secondary beams are maintainedto make the structure stable and uniform e dimensionsof the structure in plan is 225 m wide on either side and302 m tall and each storey height is different as can be seenfrom Table 1

ere are two materials used in the model one representslightweight concrete and the other is normal weight concretee weight densities of each concrete are categorisedaccording to ACI 318 building code requirements forstructural concrete (ACI 318-95) and commentary (ACI318R-95) [5] and ldquoTest Method for Unit Weight of StructuralLightweight Concreterdquo (ASTM C 567) [7] not exceeding1800 kgm3 In this code a lightweight concrete withoutnatural sand is termed ldquoall-lightweight concreterdquo and light-weight concrete in which all of the fine aggregate consists ofnormal weight sand is termed ldquosand-lightweight concreterdquoe density of lightweight concrete used in the model is1800 kgm3 and the density of normal weight concrete is2500 kgm3 Modulus of elasticity of each model is calculatedaccording to ACI 213 [8]e below expression is meant to bevalid for values of density from 1400 to 2480 kgm3

Material selected for both the models is concrete and thestructure is designed according to IS 4562000 [9] Some ofthe material properties were flexural strength of concretemodulus of elasticity of concrete and density of steel re-inforcement M30 grade of concrete is used for the study

22 Loads andLoadCalculations Modelling of the structureis done using standard software the structure is taken fromstandard book Loads are taken from the same book andimplemented in the design (Table 1) For modelling of LWC

structure and NWC the densities of each floor are calculatedand implemented in the software as given in Tables 2 and 3Table 2 shows the design data and load acting on eachstructure Load combinations are taken from 1893 to 2016[10] and listed in Table 4 where X and Z are lateral or-thogonal directions

3 Analysis and Results

Figure 3 for LWC e loading cases yielded maximumvalues of bending moment and shear forces Figure 2 showsone of the selected beams in the NWC structure which hasbending moment of 260 kNm and shear force of 49 kNFigure 3 shows the beam in the LWC structure which hada bending moment of 226 kNm and a shear force of 45 kNe two cases involving normal weight concrete (NWC)with a density of 25 kNm3 and lightweight concrete (LWC)with a density of 18 kNm3 are loads to yield differentloading conditions as the density of material is differentough the live load is the same for both the cases deadload and seismic weights are considerably less as can beseen form Table 2

is results in lesser bending moment and shear forcein members as can be seen from Table 4 e variation inbending moment is lower by 22 and shear force by 18for lightweight concrete when compared to normal weightconcrete

32 Percentage of Steel e six-storied structures aredesigned as per IS 4562000 [9] and are analysed Both thestructures are having the dead load variation of 28 andhence there is a change in bending moments and shearforces in the structures too Sectional properties of thelightweight structure can be modified as per the obtainedbending moment and shear forces As the design is done instandard software the reduction in area of steel in light-weight concrete is about 10ndash12 as expected Quantity of

steel in normal weight concrete is 1151 kN and in lightweightconcrete it is 1014 kN

33 Fundamental Natural Period and Seismic Loads eapproximate fundamental natural period of vibration (Ta) inseconds for the moment resisting frame building withoutbrick infill panels may be estimated by empirical expressiongiven by IS 1893-2016 In the present analysis for calculatingthe above parameter standard software is used to find outseismic response and mode shapes of the structure enatural period calculated by the code and software is verifiedand mentioned in Table 5 ere is no variation of timeperiods in both the calculations this is due to no change inthe height of the structure Compressive strength and elasticmodulus of lightweight aggregates are given by Ulrik Nilsenet al [11] Youngrsquos modulus E value shows negligible timeperiods for LWC than NWC Considering Clause 64 designspectrum in IS 1893-2016 code says the Sag value can betaken as 136T where Ta is natural time period e value ofSag calculated is varied from 072 to 14 But as per clause782 of IS 1893-2016 requires to take the highest force (Sag)for calculations taken as 1402 for computation of seismicforces Table 6 and Figures 4 and 5 show the horizontal loadsand base shear values for LWC and NWC for various floorlevels in a structure From Table 6 the forces in LWCbuilding are 14 percent less than the NWC building

six-storied building shows the displacements and storeydrifts of both lightweight concrete and normal weightconcrete in Tables 7 and 8 and the variation in these forLWC and NWC is represented in Figures 6 and 7 Since thebuilding configuration is the same in both the directions thedisplacement values are the same in either direction

e LWC structure suffers larger deformations thanNWC because of lower Youngrsquos modulus of LWC whichresults in lower stiffness the obtained drifts from Table 8 arewell within the allowable limits

4 Conclusion

e seismic analysis of the structure is functionallydepending on dead load and the earthquake forces acting onthat e LWC structure which is subjected to seismicanalysis resulted in less bending moments and shear forceswhich may pave way either to reduce the cross section ofmembers or to reduce the steel in moment and shearresisting sections As the structure is six-storied the changein earthquake forces is very little in both the cases whereasstorey drift and storey displacements are the same by thissavage of steel which is 10 more in LWC than NWC estudy was extended with dynamic analysis carried outusing the response spectrum method ough the naturalperiod did not show any improvement for design consid-erations the safety of the structure as observed from driftat each storey level is goode reasons behind such changesare practically due to reduction of Youngrsquos modulus oflightweight concrete However with the new research itis possible to get higher Youngrsquos modulus for the samestrength parameters by suitable modification of concretemix design As the storey height increases the benefit oneconomical is likely to be more

six-storied building shows the displacements and storeydrifts of both lightweight concrete and normal weightconcrete in Tables 7 and 8 and the variation in these forLWC and NWC is represented in Figures 6 and 7 Since thebuilding configuration is the same in both the directions thedisplacement values are the same in either direction

e LWC structure suffers larger deformations thanNWC because of lower Youngrsquos modulus of LWC whichresults in lower stiffness the obtained drifts from Table 8 arewell within the allowable limits

4 Conclusion

e seismic analysis of the structure is functionallydepending on dead load and the earthquake forces acting onthat e LWC structure which is subjected to seismicanalysis resulted in less bending moments and shear forceswhich may pave way either to reduce the cross section ofmembers or to reduce the steel in moment and shearresisting sections As the structure is six-storied the changein earthquake forces is very little in both the cases whereasstorey drift and storey displacements are the same by thissavage of steel which is 10 more in LWC than NWC estudy was extended with dynamic analysis carried outusing the response spectrum method ough the naturalperiod did not show any improvement for design consid-erations the safety of the structure as observed from driftat each storey level is goode reasons behind such changesare practically due to reduction of Youngrsquos modulus oflightweight concrete However with the new research itis possible to get higher Youngrsquos modulus for the samestrength parameters by suitable modification of concretemix design As the storey height increases the benefit oneconomical is likely to be more

six-storied building shows the displacements and storeydrifts of both lightweight concrete and normal weightconcrete in Tables 7 and 8 and the variation in these forLWC and NWC is represented in Figures 6 and 7 Since thebuilding configuration is the same in both the directions thedisplacement values are the same in either direction

e LWC structure suffers larger deformations thanNWC because of lower Youngrsquos modulus of LWC whichresults in lower stiffness the obtained drifts from Table 8 arewell within the allowable limits

4 Conclusion

e seismic analysis of the structure is functionallydepending on dead load and the earthquake forces acting onthat e LWC structure which is subjected to seismicanalysis resulted in less bending moments and shear forceswhich may pave way either to reduce the cross section ofmembers or to reduce the steel in moment and shearresisting sections As the structure is six-storied the changein earthquake forces is very little in both the cases whereasstorey drift and storey displacements are the same by thissavage of steel which is 10 more in LWC than NWC estudy was extended with dynamic analysis carried outusing the response spectrum method ough the naturalperiod did not show any improvement for design consid-erations the safety of the structure as observed from driftat each storey level is goode reasons behind such changesare practically due to reduction of Youngrsquos modulus oflightweight concrete However with the new research itis possible to get higher Youngrsquos modulus for the samestrength parameters by suitable modification of concretemix design As the storey height increases the benefit oneconomical is likely to be more
