Procedure 

 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 = 0.09hd">0.09h√d0.09hd

       =  0.09X304">0.09X3040.09X304

Tx     =   0.68 sec 

 Ty = 0.09hd">0.09h√d0.09hd

     =  0.09X305">0.09X3050.09X305

 Ty    =  0.54 sec 

Considered Max time period i.e Tx = 0.68 sec 

 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

                                          = (3500+ 600) x 7 + 2100

                                          = 30800 Kn 

4)  Design Base Shear VB 

 VB = Ah x W

     = 0.0147 x 30800

     = 452.76 Kn

Step 5) 

 i)WL + X direction 

ii) WL -X direction 

iii) WL +Z direction -

iv) WL -Z direction 

v) DL and LL 

Step 6) Design of slab element 

 Step 1 ) Data 

Span Shorter Direction (Clear)
  ly = 5 m
Span Longer Direction (Clear)
  lx = 4 m
Live Load on the Slab
  LL = 3 kN / m2
Compressive stength of concrete
  fck = 25 N / mm2
Yield strength of steel
  fy = 415 N / mm2
Unit weight of concrete
  Ƴc = 25 kN / m3
Unit weight of floor finish 100 mm
  Ƴ = 22 kN / m3
Clear concrete cover
    = 25 mm
Bearing of slab
  B = 250 mm

 Step 2) 

Span to effective depth ratio
    l/d = 32  
Minimum effective depth
    d = 125 mm
Overall depth
    D = 156 mm
Provide Overall depth
    D = 160 mm
Dia of bars for short direction
    Φ = 12 mm
Dia of bars for long direction
    Φ = 12 mm
Effective Depth
    d = 120 mm

 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 

αx">ααx">xαx">αx = 0.060

 αy">αyαy= 0.045

 b) For Longer Span 

 αx">αxαx = 0.047

αy">αyαy = 0.035

 Step 4) Bending Moment 

 Mx = αx">αxαx X w X lx^2 

     = 0.060 x 18 x 4.120 x 4.120

      = 18.33 Kn-m /m ( Negative Moment ) 

 My =  αy">αyαy X w X lx^2 

     = 0.045 x 18 x 4.120 x 4.120

     = 13.75 Kn-m /m ( Positive moment ) 

 Mx = αx">αxαx x w x lx^2

     = 0.047 x 18 x 4.120 x 4.120 

    = 14.36 Kn- m /m 

 My = αy">αyαy 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 

 i) 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 

 iii) For  τc 

 Assume Pt % = 0.25 

τc = 0.36 
 
 k = 1.3 
 
 τc = k x τc 
    
     = 1.3 x 0.36
    
     = 0.468
 Tv < τc < τc,max .....................Safe 
 
Step  7 ) Determination of Ast 
 
 For Negative moment 
 
Mu = 0.87fyAstd(1-Astfy/fckbd)
 
18.33 x 10^6 = 0.87 x 415 x Ast x 120 ( 1 - Ast / 25 x 1000x 120) 
 
Ast = 302 mm^2 
 
For Positive Moment  
 
13.75 x 10^6 = 0.87 x 415 x Ast x 120 ( 1 - Ast / 25 x 1000x 120) 
 
Ast = 236 mm^2 
 
 Step 8) Min Distribution Steel 
 
 Astmin = 0.12bd 
            
           = 0.12 x 1000 x 120
  
           = 144 mm^2
 
Step 8) Selection of reinforcing bars
 
 i) Area of bars (Top steel) =  302 mm^2 
 
So provide 12 mm dia bars 
 
 Spacing = (Ast of dia / Total Ast)  x 1000
 
            =  374 
            
            = 300 mm 
 
So Provide 12mm dia @ 300mm c/c 
 
 ii) Area of bars (Bottom steel) = 236mm^2 
 
 Spacing = (Ast of dia / Total Ast)  x 1000
 
            =  478.81
            
            = 300 mm 
 
So Provide 12mm dia @ 300mm c/c
