Development of structural system & framing plan of a Sample Precast building (G+ 6) in Bhopal, India as per Indian Structural codes.
Answer:
Aim: To Develop structural system & framing plan of a Sample Precast building (G+ 6) in Bhopal, India as per Indian Structural codes.
1.Preparing the design basis report of the building design:
Design Basis Report consists the follwing
a.Cover page with Over view
b.Introduction of the Building
Building Description:Sample Precast building (G+ 6)
location:Bhopal, India
Building Dimensions: 20m*8.21m
Building Height: 24m
Building usage: Residential purpose
Building Construction type: Precast construction
c.Standards used
Codes used :
d.Loads
Dead load
Super Imposed load
Live load
Seismic load
Wind load
Load combinations
e.Structural system and stability
f.Calculation for element design
g.Calculation for connection design
Procedure:
2.Understanding of architectural layouts of the building and Strutural plan is drawn accordingly:
Select the Indian Design parameters
Go to options > Dispaly units
This helps to change the units into Inches as per the Architectural Drawings
Grid system is created as per the Given plan in the Auto CAD drawing
Define the Material Properties
Material M40 Concrete is created
Material M35 Concrete is created
Material Fe 500 is created
Material Fe 415 is created
View of all materials
StoryData is created as per the AutoCAD Drawing
Frame Data Column500*500 mm is assumed with M 40 Concrete Material
Frame Data Beam 230*500 mm is assumed with M 35 Concrete Material
Frame Data Beam 230*600 mm is assumed with M 35 Concrete Material
Properties of Column and Beams are shown
Pinned connections are made for
1.Column-Beam connections
2.Beam slab connections
There should be moment Release for Precast Members
Slab Property Data is shown here
Wall Property data is created
Grid view of Structural Plan from the Architectural plans
Replicate the floors for the other storeys
Using Edit > Replicate
3.Develope the structural scheme (Precast) for the building as per architectural plans
4.Preparing structural framing plans of the building along with the structural sections
View of the Structural Frame in 3D view
Elevation View
Assignment of joint Restriant
Fixed supports the Foundation
5.Creating the load path of the various forces to foundation
Load is transferred from
a.Slabs and all floors to Beams
b.Beams to columns
c.Columns to the foundation
Define the Load Patterns for Various type of loads as shown
Seismic load patterns are added as per IS 1893-2016
Wind load Patterns are added as per IS 875-2015
6.Load calculations for all the forces acting on the building.
7.Calculation for seismic and wind forces
As per the code IS 875 Part I Dead load and SuperImposed loads are calculated:
Dead loads:
Assume unit weight of Precast concrete having Reinforcement = 25 KN/m3
Concrete doesn't have reinforcement , so unit weight of screed = 24 KN/m3
Assume Total Depth of slab D = 250mm
(Taken in our calculation also)
Dead load = 0.25*25 = 6.25KN/m2
Super Imposed Dead loads:
Assume 230 mm thick wall
Floor Height = 3.0 m (118.11 inches = 3m)
Beam size = 0.23 m*0.5 m
Assume standard brick having density = 18 KN/m3
Now Height of wall = Floor Height - Beam Depth
= 3.0 - 0.5 = 2.5m
Total SuperImposed Load = Height of wall * Thickness of wall * Unit weight of bricks with Plastering
= 2.5 * 0.23 * 18 = 10.35 KN/m
IS 875 Part 2
Live Loads
Living Room and Bedrooms = 3KN/m2
Kitchen Room = 3 KN/m2
Dining Room = 4 KN/m2
Toilet and Bath rooms = 2 KN/m2
Corridors and Passage = 3 KN/m2
Store Room = 5 KN/m2
Balconies = 4 KN/m2
Consider Live load = KN/m2
Considering only for Gravity loading and no lateral loading for preliminary dimensions
Load combination = 1.5DL + 1.5LL
= 1.5*(6.25+10.35) + 1.5*5 = 32.4 KN/m2
Design load = 32.4 KN/m2
Earthquake loads IS 1893:2016:
Consider Zone II as per the Map in IS code 1893 for Bhopal (from fig 1 IS 1893)
Seismic Zone factor Z = 0.10 Table 2 of IS 1893
Consider OMRF for the given Building
Based on IS 1893 for Ordinary Moment Resisting Frames we have
Response Reduction Factor R = 3 From Table 9 IS 1893
Assume site Type = Type 2
Importance Factor of the Building I = 1 (from Table 8 IS 1893)
Moment Resisting Frames with Masonry Infills clause 7.6.2 c
Height of the Building = 944.8819 inches = 24 m
Sa/g = Design Acceleration coefficient for Soil types (Clause 6.4.2 (a) IS 1893) and Table 2
For use in Equivalent static method
Assume Medium stiff soils Sa/g = 1.36/T
Clause 7.6.2 (c) Buildings with RC structural walls have Time period
T = 0.09h/d^0.5
h = height of Building = 24 m
d = Base Dimension of the Building at the Plinth level along the considered direction of the Earthquake
Considering in both directions Direction X = 323 inches = 8.21 m
Direction Y = 787.25inches = 20 m
Ta1 = 0.09*24/8.21^0.5
Ta1 = 0.753 = 0.76
Ta2 = 0.09*24/20^0.5
Ta2 = 0.483 = 0.49
Now Sa/g = 1.36/T
For direction 1 Sa/g = 1.36/0.76 = 1.79
For direction 2 Sa/g = 1.36/0.49 = 2.78
Now For direction X
Ah = (Z/2)*(I/R)*(Sa/g)
Ah = (0.10/2)*(1/3)*1.79 = 0.023
Now For direction Y
Ah = (0.10/2)*(1/3)*2.78 = 0.047
Base shear = Vb = Ah*w
Vb = 2.3% of Seismic weight for Direction X
Vb = 4.7% of Seismic weight for Direction Y
Wind load Calculation
8.Identifying and dealing the irregularities of the building:
Irregularities in the Plan
In the Structural grid plan it is observed that there are both Verical and Horizontal ,Torsional Irregularities in the Plan.
Vertical Irregularities:
Soft Storey at the Bottom Stilt Floor is seen as per the Architectural plan.
So to strengt the Stilt floor it necessary to provide Shear walls or Strength the Columns by Capacity Design.
This helps in the reducing the Torsion of the whole building during earthquake.
Horizontal Irregularities:
The plan shows so may Open spaces in the Architectural drawing which causes Irregularities in the Building.
Torsional irregularities:
The combination of both the Horzontal and vertical Irrgularties should be greater than Torsional Irregularity to find a structure to be stable.
