DBR - Design Basis Report -
Step 1) Given data -
|
Building floors |
G + 6 + R |
|
Plan dimension |
B = 25m , L = 16m |
|
Storey Height |
h = 3.5m |
|
Soil |
Hard soil |
|
Use |
Residential Purpose |
|
Safe Bearing Capacity |
180 kN/m2 |
|
Maximum slab thickness |
150mm |
Step 2) Creating Geometry of the Model
i) Create the geometry of the model
ii) As it is Residential Building and it has following dimensions
iii) L = 16m
iv) B = 25 m
v) H = 30 m
vi) Once geometry is created assign support condition as Fixed

Step 3) Material Specification
i) Assume the size of beams - 0.300 x 0.450 m
ii) Assume the size of columns - 0.500 x 0.500 m
Step 4) Loads
Calculation of Loads -
1) Calculation of Dead Load - IS 875 part 1
i)Dead load on Floor
i) Dead load due to slab = 0.150 x 25
= 3.750 Kn/m2
ii) Partitions = 1.5 Kn/m2
iii) Floor Finish = 2.5 Kn/m2
iv) Miscellaneous = 1 Kn/m2
v) Total Floor Load = 8.75 Kn/m2
ii) Dead load on Roof
i) Dead load of Roof Slab = 3.75 Kn/m2
ii) Insulaions and Water Proofing = 0.5 Kn/m2
iii) MEP Services = 0.5 Kn/m2
iv) Miscellaneous = 0.5 Kn/m2
v) Total Roof Load = 5.25 kn/m2
2) Live Load - IS 875 part 2
i) For Residential Building LL = 3 Kn/m2
ii) For Roof = 1.5 Kn/m2
3) Calculation of Wind load
i) 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 coefficient (Table 1 of IS 875 (Part 3)-2015)
K2 = Terrain Roughness and height factor
K3=Topography factor (Clause 6.3.3 of IS 875 (Part 3)-2015)
K4 =Importance factor for Cyclic Region
AS Vb = 33 m/s ( Darjeeling ) Is 875
K1 = 1
K2 = 1.15 ( Ht for 30m) ( Category 1)
K3 = 1
K4 = 1
Therefore ,
Vz = 33 x 1 x 1.15 x 1 x 1
= 37.95 m/s
ii) Wind Pressure = Pz
Pz = 0.6 x Vz ^2
= 0.6 x 37.95 x 37.95
= 864.121 N
= 0.864 Kn
Similarly we can calculate for different heights
| Height (m) | k2 | Vz (m/s) | Pz | Pz in kN |
| 3.5 | 1.05 | 34.65 | 720.37 | 0.720 |
| 7 | 1.05 | 34.65 | 720.37 | 0.720 |
| 10.5 | 1.06 | 35.2 | 743.424 | 0.743 |
| 14 | 1.08 | 35.64 | 762.12 | 0.762 |
| 17.5 | 1.10 | 36.3 | 790.61 | 0.790 |
| 21 | 1.125 | 37.13 | 827.18 | 0.827 |
| 24.5 | 1.13 | 37.29 | 834.32 | 0.834 |
| 28 | 1.15 | 37.95 | 864.121 | 0.864 |
4) Calculation of Seismic load
1) Design Base Shear
VB = Ah x W
where ,
Ah = Horizontal Coefficient of acceleration
W = Seismic Weight
ii) Ah can be calculated by using formula
Ah = Z/2 x Sa/g x I/R
As given building in location is in Bangalore -
a) Seismic Zone (Z) - Zone II ( 0.10 )
b) Soil condition or Soil type (Sa) - Hard Soil
c) Importance Factor - 1 ( For Residential Building )
d) Response Reduction Factor - 5 ( SMRF)
2)
i) Now we have to calculate the Sa/g ( Spctral Acceleraion cpefficient) which depends on Type of soils .
ii) For hard Soil -
Sa/g = 1 + 15 T .........................0.00 < T < 0.10
2.50 ...............................0.10 < T < 0.40
1 / T ..............................0.40 < T < 4.00
iii) First we have to calculat Time peroiod in x and y direction (20x 30m)
Tx = `(0.09h)/sqrt d`
= `(0.09X30 )/4`
Tx = 0.68 sec
Ty = `(0.09h)/sqrt d`
= `(0.09X30 )/5`
Ty = 0.54 sec
Considered Max time period i.e Tx = 0.68 sec
Therefore
Sa / g = 1/T
= 1.47
So put all the values in Ah equation
Ah = 0.10/2 x 1.47 x 1/5
Ah = 0.0147
3) Calculation of Seismic weight
i) Area of each Floor = 16 x 25
= 400 m^2
ii) Due to Dead Loads , Typical Floor = DL = 8.75 Kn/m^2
So Total Dead load of all floors = 8.75 x 400
= 3500 Kn
iii) Due to Dead Loads ,Roof = DL of roofs = 5.25 Kn/m^2
So Total Dead load of all floors = 5.25 x 400
= 2100 Kn
iv) Due to Live Loads , Typical Floor = LL = 3 Kn/m^2 ( Is 875 part 2)
But as per IS 1893:2016 If Live load is greater than 3 Kn/m^2 we have to reduced LL by 50%
Therefore reduced it by 50%
LL = 1.5 Kn/m^2
Total Live load for all floors = 1.5 x 600
= 600 KN
v) Due to Live Loads , Roof - AS per IS 1893 : 2016 Live load due to roof is neglected in calculation of seismic weight .
vi) Total Seismic Weight = W = DL + LL + DL roof
= (3500+ 600) x 7 + 2100
= 30800 Kn
4) Design Base Shear VB
VB = Ah x W
= 0.0147 x 30800
= 452.76 Kn

Step 3) Loading
i) Dead Load of the slab (DL) = 3.75 Kn/m2
ii) Super Dead Load = 5 Kn/m2
iii) Live load (LL) = 3Kn/m
Total Load on the slab (TL) = 5+3.75+3
= 11.75 Kn/m
Factored Load = 1.5 x 11.75
= 18 Kn/m
ii) Effective span = ly + d = 5000 + 120 = 5.120 m
= lx + d = 4000 + 120 = 4.120
take the minimum value
Therefor ,
Effective length ( Leff) = 4.120 m
iii) Ly / Lx
= 5.120 / 4.120
= 1.2 < 2 ....................................Two way Slab
iv) BM Coefficient as per IS 456

Considered Two adjacent Edges Discontinues (Ly /Lx = 1.2 )
a) For Shorter Span
`alpha _x` = 0.060
`alpha _y`= 0.045
b) For Longer Span
`alpha _x` = 0.047
`alpha _y` = 0.035
Step 4) Bending Moment
Mx = `alpha _x` X w X lx^2
= 0.060 x 18 x 4.120 x 4.120
= 18.33 Kn-m /m ( Negative Moment )
My = `alpha _y` X w X lx^2
= 0.045 x 18 x 4.120 x 4.120
= 13.75 Kn-m /m ( Positive moment )
Mx = `alpha _x` x w x lx^2
= 0.047 x 18 x 4.120 x 4.120
= 14.36 Kn- m /m
My = `alpha _y` x w x lx^2
= 0.035 x 18 x 4.120 x 4.120
= 10.69 Kn- m /m
Considered Max valus of Mx and My
ii) Shear Force - Vu = Wl / 2
= 18 x 4.120 / 2
= 37.08 Kn
Step 5) To check the Effective depth
Mu,lim = 0.138 fck bd^2
18.3 x 10^6 = 0.138 x 25 x 1000 x d^2
d = 72.83mm
d prov > d req ...................................Ok
Step 6) Depth of slab for shear force
i) τc,max = 3.1 N/mm^2
ii) Tv = Vu / bd
= 37.08 x 10^3 / (1000 x 120 )
= 0.30
