Simulation of the Response of Multi-Story Buildings with Concrete-Silica Fume and Concrete-Liquid Carbon Dioxide

Abstract

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) used in building structures has a negative impact. The presence of CO2 emissions produced becomes very dangerous. To reduce this impact, materials that are more environmentally friendly are used. Silica Fume and liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) are among them. In this study, silica fume and liquid carbon dioxide were used as a substitute for cement. The effect of the stiffness of the two materials and the earthquake lateral load was tested by looking at the response of the high-rise building. Through numerical simulations, we compare the mode shape, displacement of the structure, and the sheer force experienced by the structure.
