Challenge

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

aim to analyze the design of hostel building located in guwahathi assam.

Here we will be using three different software in order to design and analyze the hostel
building:
ETABS: We will be using ETABS software in order to model, analyze and designing the
superstructure of the hostel building.
SAFE: And we will be using the SAFE software in order to model, analyze and design the
foundation of the building.
AutoCAD: And we will be going to use AutoCAD software for the reinforcement detailing an
creating construction drawings using the AutoCAD software.
So above software we will be going to use to design and analyse the hostel building

procedure

in this project we will going to 3 different software etabs safe and autocad.

first we will going to work on etabs software for the designing and analysing and for modelling this building as super

structure

so lets started the etabs software

etabs modelling

in order to design and analyze the hostel building first thing that we have to do is to open
the ETABS software.
After opening the ETABS software there will be an option called New model click on that


After clicking that option there will be a dialogue box named as Model Initialization and inthat dialogue box fill the

necessary data regarding the codes that we are going to use to
design the given hostel building just as shown in the below given image:

New model has been opened, so after opening the model now we have to edit the story
data and the grid data accordingly.
After that there will be another dialogue box named as New Model Quick Templates, in that
dialogue box there will be another option called Custom Grid Spacing check on that option
after that there is another option called Edit Grid Data just as shown in the below given

edit the number of stories and the stories height and other relevant data just as shown in
the below given

After setting the grid system and the story data this is how it will be looking like in the plan
view and the 3D view, below is the given

After this now we will be defining the Materials and the Section Properties.
So in order to assign the materials we first need to go to the Define menu then there will be
another option called Material Properties click on that option just as shown in the below
given

After that there will be another dialogue box named as the Add New Material Property in
that dialogue box fill the all appropriate data in that dialogue box.
Region - India.
Material Type - Concrete.
Standard - Indian.
Grade - M25.

After adding M25 now we have to add the rebar material, so i order to do that go to the
Define material dialogue box click on the option Add New Material just as shown in the
below given image:

After this there will be another dialogue box named as the Add New Material Property in
that dialogue box fill the all appropriate data in that dialogue box.

    • Unfactored load = 1155.8KN
    • Point spring of pile = AX E/ L =490873.75 N/mm
    • A= π/4 xd2= π/4 5002 = 196349.5 mm2
    • E = 5000x√fck =5000x √25 = 25000 N/mm2
    • L =10M=10000mm
    • Hence K = 490873.75KN/m.
    • Rebar yield strength, Fy =500 N/ mm2.
    • Rebar ultimate strength, Fu = 545 N/ mm2.
    • Elastic modulus of M25 concrete = 25000 N/ mm2.
    • Number of piles required = Unfactored load with self-weight / Individual pile capacity.
    • =1155.8 X1.1 / 280 = 4.5
    • Consider 6 piles for symmetric placement of piles under pile cap.
    • Center to center distance between the piles = 2.5 x Pile diameter = 2.5x500= 1250 mm
    • Edge distance from the pile center =1x500= 500mm.
    • Assume pile cap depth = 500mm
    • Column 450x650mm
