  1. Column-Beam connections

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

View of the structural Frame in 3D view

Elevation view.

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.
