Project 2_Design & Analysis of a Hostel building at Guwahati, Assam

In this project, participants will get to experience the entire design process from modelling, analysis, design, and preparation of construction drawings. The architectural drawings of a G+3 RCC building is provided. The following information on the building is to be used:

• Location – Guwahati, Assam
• Function – Hostel block in an academic institute

The walls will be made of AAC blocks. Other loadings are to be calculated as per the architectural drawings. 

The buildings rests on type 3 soil. Piles of length 10 meters and 500 mm diameter with a load-carrying capacity of 280 KN is to be used. 

The ground floor level will be at a height of 2 meters above the existing site level to avoid floodwater enter the building.

M25 grade of concrete with Fe500 for longitudinal reinforcement and Fe 415 for shear reinforcement is to be used. 

The following design IS codes will be required for reference:

• IS 875 part 1
• IS 875 part 2
• IS 13920
• IS 1893
• IS 2911 part 2
• IS 456
• SP 34

Students will have to produce the following:

• Etabs model for the two blocks on either side of the expansion gap
• Foundation details illustrating the pile & pile cap reinforcement
• Tie beam details connecting the pile caps
• Column reinforcement
• Framing plan for typical floor
• Beam reinforcements for ground floor

Aim and introduction:To create a G+3 Hostel building as per given architectural drawing data

Procedure:

Steps:

• Go to the Etabs software
• Select new model
• Edit model information
• Add grid and story data

• Define a material properties
• Section properties 

• Assign the load patterns
• Load combinations and cases
• Add the loads as per requirement

• Run the analysis
• 

• Export the model to SAFE

• Open the SAFE 
• Import the model
• New model eby existing
• Edit model information
• Add material property data
• Slab properties also added
• Point spring load is added

• Analyse the model
• Punching shear is less than 1

Results:Creation of  G+3 Hostel building as per given architectural drawing data
