Design and Cost Comparison of Reinforced Masonry and Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Abstract

IN this research, comparative study carried out between conventional structural systems with monolithic structural system (reinforced concrete wall structure). In India, monolithic construction system carried out only for lower rise structure; if we consider this structural system mid to high rise structure then it may more feasible, adoptable and economic comparing conventional structural system. In this system all slabs, stairs, wall with opening or without opening cast together in one operation. Etabs software is used for analysis and design of both structural systems.
