Comparison of the performance of high-rise building based on various design code

Abstract

Abstract The main purpose to conduct this research is to compare the performance of high-rise building based on design code BS 8110, EC 2 and the combination EC 2 and EC 8. 10-storey high-rise building was designed based on the 3 types of design codes. The design and analyses were used software method and manual calculation to define the detail of the structure. The software that was used to design is ETABS. The 3 main components that used to compare the structural and costs performance were beams, columns and slabs. As the results, the area of tension reinforcement provided for a column using the combination EC 2 and EC 8 design was required more rebar compared to another two codes. For the cost performance, BS 8110 required higher costs compared to Eurocode. This is because of the safety factor for the load analysis. For Eurocode, design with considers seismic effect had higher costs compared to design without considering the seismic effect but the cost difference between this two is about +1.46%. Therefore, by referring the result had been done, it can conclude that including of seismic effect did not affect too much on the cost performance.
