3, Develop the structrual scheme (precast) for the builidg as per architectural plans
4.Preparing structural framing plans of the building along with the structural sections

Assignement of jount Restraint
Fixed supports the Foundation

5.Create the loads path of the varipus forces to foundation
Loaad is transferred from
1. Slabs and all floors to Beams
2. Beams to columns
3. Columns to the foundation
Define the loads 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 875-2016

6. Load Calculations for all the forces acting on the building.
7. Calculation for seimic and wind forces
As per the code Is 875 part 1 Ded load and superimposed loads are calculated.
Dead loda :
Assume uint weight of precast concrete having Reinforcement = 25KN/m ^3
Concrete doesn't have reinforcement, so unit weight of screed = 24KN/m^3
Assume Total Depth of slab D= 250mm
(Take in our calculation also )
Dead load = 0.25 *25 = 6.25KN/m^2
Super imposed Dead Loads:
Assume 230mm thick wall
Floor Height = 3.0m
Beam size = 0.23 *0.5m
Assume standard brick having density = 18KN/m^3
Now Heigth of wall = Floor Height - Beam Depth
= 3.0-0.5 =2.5m
Total superimposed Load = Height of wall *Thickness of wall * unit weigth of bricks with Plastering
=2.5 * 0.23 *18 = 10.35KN/m
IS 875 part 2
Live Loads
Living Room and Bedrooms = 3KN/m^2
Kitchen Room = 3KN/m^2
Dinning Room = 4KN/m^2
Toilet and Bath rooms = 2 KN/m^2
Corridors and passage = 3KN/m^2
Store Room = 5 KN/m^2
Balconies = 4 KN/m^2
Consider Live load = KN/m^2
Considering only for Gravity loading and no lateral loading for perliminary dimensions Load combination = 1.5DL + 1.5LL
= 1.5* (6.25+10.35) + 1.5* 5 = 32.4 KN/m^2
Design load = 32.4KN/m^2
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 l = 1 (From Table 8 IS 1893)
Moment Resistance Frames with Masonry infills caluse 7.6.2
Height of the building = 944.8819 inches = 24m
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 = 24m
d= Based Dimension of the building at plinth level along the considered direction of the Earthquake
Considering in both directions Direction X= 323 inches =8.21m
Direction Y = 787.25 inches = 20m
Tal = 0.09* 24 /8.21 ^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 sesimic 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 stilr Floor is seen as per the Architectural plan. So to strength 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 Architecturl drawing which casuses Irregularites in the Building.
Torsional irregularities:
The combinatio of both the Horzontal and vertical Irregularties should be greater than Torsional Irregularity to find a structure to be stable.
