Comparative Study of Structure Using Composite Members And Conventional Members

There are different methods of construction for building structure. The most popular conventional structures used\ud are reinforced cement concrete structures, pure steel structures and Timber Structures. In the modern age the\ud rapid growth in population and continuous influx of people from rural to metros; buildings are constructed on a\ud large scale and with great Architectural requirement.\ud In this paper a new type of structure is introduced which involves use of composite members. To reduce the\ud construction time, material quantity and cost the composite members are used. The composite members here\ud mean use of steel sections as structural steel along with timber. Here by using composite members for\ud miscellaneous Architectural building, lot of saving has been done in material, construction time and cost. It saves\ud approximately 20-25% cost of structure if conventional type is used. Composite members used are Structural\ud steel and solid timber compare to conventional steel or RCC members
