Description
Summary:This study provides a comprehensive cost comparison of the common RC structural systems. The structural cost calculation framework was developed. Trial-buildings were designed using finite element software and material quantities were found out. The structural costs were calculated utilizing the input of current unit rates from local construction industry.
