Adding Steel Floor

[serdagi]

Hello, we want to build a steel floor on a 4-storey reinforced concrete building. When I do this; 1- Should we remodel the existing building and add the steel floor? 2- Steel buildings made from scratch are explained, including training videos. There are structures that have a foundation when they are built from scratch. When adding a steel floor, we introduce the program to how this will be done on an existing structure. 3- If we are going to model the steel floor alone and the force, load etc. coming from it. If we are going to check whether the existing structure can carry or not, a situation arises. That the steel structure on the 5th floor of the existing building may differ only according to the modeled structure, especially its behavior against earthquakes? I would like your help regarding the path I should follow.

Model your existing structure and perform performance analysis. Model the steel structure on the reinforced concrete structure and subject the entire structure to performance analysis. Performance analysis requires at least one reinforced concrete column defined at each floor. For this reason, continue a column on the lower floors in very small sections symbolically on the floor where you made the steel floor. Or do the performance analysis by adding the loads from the steel floor to the upper floor. Analyze the entire structure together. Analyze the structure by selecting the construction phases option from the analysis options.
