AIM:
- To design a multi-storey Residential building which is located in Banglore using the STAAD Pro Software.
INTRODUCTION:
- With the advancements in software technology, the analysis and design of buildings have become much more simplified than before. The overall process of building design has been shortened with the automated calculations included in software like Staadpro, ETABS, SAP2000, and many more. Moreover, the reinforcement detailing for all structural members has also been automated by the latest Staad RCDC tool.
- So, in this project, we have completed the entire design process from start to finish with the help of Staad Pro. At the same time, we have also followed the automated reinforcement detailing with Staad RCDC. This project is divided into three phases. In the first phase, the analysis part is covered from start to end including the modeling, application of human and environmental loads, and running of the analysis. Then, in the second part, the design, and detailing of the building are carried out extensively. In the end, a comprehensive design basis report formally known as 'DBR' is prepared following the industry standards.
TOOLS USED:
- StaadPro Connect Edition
- Staad Foundation
- Staad Advance Concrete Designer (RCDC)
- MS Excel (Manual Design of Slab)
- MS Word (Design Basis Report)
PROCEDURE:
DBR-Design Basis Report:
GIVEN DATA:
- Building Floors : G+6+R
- Plan Dimension : B = 25m,L = 16m.
- Story Height : h = 3.5m.
- Soil : Hard Soil.
- Use : Residential Purpose.
- Safe Bearing Capacity : 180 Kn/sq.m.
- Maximum Slab thickness : 150 mm.
Material Specification:
- Assume the size of the beams : 0.30 X 0.45 m.
- Assume the size of the column : 0.7 X 0.7 m.
Loads Calculations:
Dead Load(IS 875 Part-l):
Dead Load on Floor:
- Dead weight due to slab = 0.15 X 25
=3.75 KN/sq.m
- Partitions : 1.5 KN/sq.m
- Floor finish : 2.5 KN/sq.m
- Miscellaneous : 1 KN/sq.m
- Total Floor Load = 8.75 KN/sq.m.
Dead Load on Roof (IS 875 Part-l):
- Dead Load on roof slab = 3.75 KN/sq.m.
- Insulation and Water proofing = 0.5 KN/sq.m.
- MEP Services = 0.5 KN/sq.m.
- Miscellaneous = 0.5 KN/sq.m.
- Total Roof Load = 5.25 KN/sq.m
Live Load (IS 875 Part ll):
- For Residential Building Live Load = 3 KN/sq.m.
- For Roof Lie Load = 1.5 KN/sq.m.
Wind Load Calculation (IS 875 Part-lll):
- (l) Design Wind Speed :
We know that:
Vz = Vb X k1 X k2 X k3 X k4,
where:
Vb = Basic Wind Speed (m/sec).
k1 = Risk Co-efficient (IS 875 Part-lll:2015 Table 1).
k2 = Terrain Roughness and height factor.
k3 = Topography factor (IS 875 Part-lll:2015 Clause 6.3.3).
k4 = Importance factor for cyclic region.
So,
Vb = 33 m/s (Bangaluru) IS 875 Part-lll.
k1 = 1.
k2 = 1.15 For height 30m (Category-l).
k3 = 1.
k4 = 1.
Therefore :
Vz = Vb x k1 X k2 X k3 X k4
Vz = 33 X 1 X 1.15 X 1 X 1.
Vz = 37.95 m/s.
(ll) Wind Pressure (Pz):
Pz = 0.6 X Vz ^2.
Pz = 0.6 X (37.95)^2.
Pz = 864.121 N.
Pz = 0.864 KN.
Similarly,we can calculate for the different heights just as calculated below:
| Height (m) | k1 | k2 | k3 | k4 | Vz | Pz | Pz in KN |
| 3.5 | 1 | 1.05 | 1 | 1 | 34.65 | 720.37 | 0.720 |
| 7 | 1 | 1.05 | 1 | 1 | 34.65 | 720.37 | 0.720 |
| 10.5 | 1 | 1.06 | 1 | 1 | 35.2 | 743.424 | 0.743 |
| 14 | 1 | 1.08 | 1 | 1 | 35.64 | 762.12 | 0.762 |
| 17.5 | 1 | 1.10 | 1 | 1 | 36.3 | 790.61 | 0.790 |
| 21 | 1 | 1.125 | 1 | 1 | 37.13 | 827.18 | 0.827 |
| 24.5 | 1 | 1.13 | 1 | 1 | 37.29 | 834.32 | 0.834 |
| 28 | 1 | 1.15 | 1 | 1 | 37.95 | 864.121 | 0.864 |
Seismic Load:
(i) Design Base Shear:
Vb = Ah X W.
where,
Ah = Horizontal co-efficient of acceleration.
W = Seismic weight.
As we know that the Ah can be calculated by the below given formula:
Ah=(Z2)X(Sag)X(IR)">Ah=(Z2)X(Sag)X(IR)Ah=(Z2)X(Sag)X(IR)
So, as the iven location is Banglore,therefore:
- Seismic Zone(Z) = Zone ll (0.10)
- Soil Type(Sa) = Hard Soil.
- Importance Factor = 1 For the Residential building.
- Response Reduction Factor = 5 (MRF).
Calculation for Sa/g:
Sa/g = Design Acceleration co-efficient for different soil types.
T">TT=0.09hd">0.09h√d0.09hd
where, h = Height of the building.
d = Base dimension of the building at the plinth level along the consideration direction of earthquake shaking,in m.
Along X-direction:
Tx">TxTx=0.09hd">0.09h√d0.09hd
Tx">TxTx=0.09X304">0.09X3040.09X304
T">TT= 0.68 secs.
Along Z-direction:
Ty">TyTy=0.09hd">0.09h√d0.09hd
Ty">TyTy=0.09X305">0.09X3050.09X305
Ty">TyTy=0.54 secs.
Consider the Max. time period = 0.68 secs.
According to the IS code for Hard soil whose T value will be inbetween 0.40 sec to 4.00 sec then the value for Sa/g is
Therefore
Sag=1T"> Sag=1TSag=1T= 1.47
R = Reduction Factor.

Therefore
R = 5.0
I = Importance Factor.
I = 1
And now out all these values in the Lateral shear formula:=9%">
Ah=(0.10/2)*1.47*(1/5)
Ah =0.0147
(b) Seismic weight of building:
(i) Dead and Live Load calculations For all Floors:
Area of each floor = 16 X 25.
=400sq.m
(ll) Typical floor weight due to dead loads,
DL = 8.75 Kn/sq.m.
So, total dead load of all floors = 8.75 X 400.
=3500 KN
`ll) Due to dead loads,Roof load`
RL = 5.25 Kn/sq.m.
So.total dead load of all floors = 5.25 X 400.
=2100KN
(lV) Due to live loads,
Floor load,LL =3 KN/sq.m According to IS 875 Part ll.
But according to the IS 1893:2016 if the live load is greater than the 3 KN/sq.m then we have to reduce the Live Load by 50%.
Therefore reduce it by 50%.
Live Load = 1.5 KN/sq.m
Therefore,
Total Live Load for all the floors = 1.5 X 400
= 600 KN.
(V) Live load for roofs. According to the IS code 1875:2016 Live load due to the roof is neglected in calculation of the seismic weight.
(Vl) Total Seismic Weight,W=DL+LL+DL of Roof
= (3500+600)X7+2100.
= 30800 KN.
Design Base Shear (Vb) = Ah X W.
where Ah = 0.0147
W = 30800 KN.
Design Base Shear (Vb) = 0.0147 X 30800.
Design Base Shear (Vb) = 452.76 KN
Lateral Force at Different Levels:
Below is the formula to calculate the lateral force at different levels according to the IS code 1893:

| Storey Level | Wi | hi | Wihi^2 | Ki | Lateral force,Qx | Lateral Force,Qz |
| Roof | 2100 | 28 | 3214400 | 0.31 | 140.035 | 140.035 |
| Sixth Floor | 4100 | 24.5 | 2461025 | 0.24 | 108.66 | 108.66 |
| Fifth Floor | 4100 | 21 | 1808100 | 0.17 | 76.96 | 76.96 |
| Fourth Floor | 4100 | 17.5 | 1255625 | 0.12 | 54.33 | 54.33 |
| Third Floor | 4100 | 14 | 803600 | 0.07 | 31.70 | 31.70 |
| Second Floor | 4100 | 10.5 | 452025 | 0.044 | 19.92 | 19.92 |
| First Floor | 4100 | 7 | 200900 | 0.019 | 8.60 | 8.60 |
| Ground Floor | 4100 | 3.5 | 50225 | 0.005 | 2.26 | 2.26 |
| Total | 102459001 | 442.47 | 442.47 |

PROJECT CONCLUSION:
- As can be seen from the executed project, the entire Structural design workflow has been simplified with the introduction of advanced computational tools like StaadPro.
- All you need to know is how to feed the correct details of a project, and the software takes care of the rest.
- However, one has to be conceptually sound and must be aware of all calculations being carried out behind the software for a proper structural design of different buildings.
