Impact of Strong Column Weak Beam for a Six- Story Residential Building According to Indian Code

Ductile design and detailing provisions were revised in 2016 by the Bureau of Indian Standards. It introduced Strong Column Weak Beam Provision (SCWB) for beam-column joint. In this paper, an attempt is done to investigate influence SCWB provision on Longitudinal Rebar Quantity (LRQ) typical columns i.e. Corner Column, Edge Middle seismic Zones III, IV, V six-story buildings. Story-wise variation reached a maximum from 100% 200% 4th 5th story whereas overall was observed around 50% 80% LRQ column while considering over conventional technique design. Finally, study concludes that requirement strength ratio capacity ( 1.4 c b MM) has resulted excessive quantity rebar thereby increasing its cost specifically residential buildings apartments smaller heights.
