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

DESIGN & ANALYSIS OF A HOSTEL BUILDING AT GUWAHATI, ASSAM

AIM:

To model, amalyse and design of G+3 Hostel building in ETABS and Foundation in CSI SAFE.



INTRODUCTION:

  • 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.


PROCEDURE:

  • Firstly before start modeling in etabs we nned to prepare grid drawinging for easy and fast modeling in ETABS
  • Using the given architectural drawinf prepare rough grid lines with accurate measurements in AutoCAD





  • First we have open the etabs software.

  • Then click on the New model option at the left side to create the new model, as shown below.



  • After that model initialization window will peompt, we have to select 'Use Built-in Settings with' option, as shown below



  • Then choose grid only to create grids, to add grids click on edit grid data



  • Enter the X and Y grid data use add button to add extra grids and enter their respective distance



  • Then click on edit storey data to add number of story and story height



  • Enter the required number of story and their height then click ok
  • After entering all details and creating the requiries story then click ok



  • This is the first etabs user interface. In the left side its the plan view and in the right side its 3d view



  • Firstly need to define the material properties, so click on material properties to in define from menu bar to define the material properties
  • To add new material property click on add new material
  • Then in the opened window select the desired material properties and click ok to create the material
  • Then it opens the detailed material property data



  • In the similar way create rebar material and click ok





  • After creating all the material properties click ok to finish



  • After creating the material properties need to define frame sections

  • To create frame sections go to define and click on frame section in section properties

  • To define new frame property click on add new property



  • Slect the rectangular section then click ok



  • Enter the property name for each frame sections and choose the material grade

  • Enter the depth and widt of the sections

  • click on modify rebar data to specify the rebar data



  • In that choose design for baem if its a column section then choose column

  • For this section its a beam so click on beam and enter cover details

  • Also specify the rebar materilal from the dropdown selection

  • After entering all the details click ok





  • click on property modify to modify the beam peoprty

  • Enter the details as shown in below image



  • In the same way create another beam section with respective property name and all the details







  • After adding all the frame properties click ok to finish



  • Then need to define slab sections

  • For that go to define and select slab sections in sections peroperties

  • click on add new property

  • Add peoperty name for slab

  • Select the slab material

  • And choose modeling type as membrane

  • Then enter the thickness of the slab






  • Create anothe slab by clicking add new property

  • Then click ok to to finish defining slab sections



  • To define load pattern click on load pattern on in define in menu bar

  • click add to add the new loads

  • Select the type of load and code from the dropdown

  • After add all the load types click ok to finish



  • After defining all the sections, materials and load patterns need to start modeling

  • First to ceate columns click on quick draw column in the left side window

  • Befire that make sure the work mode is switched to all stories

  • Then select the column property to draw and draw the columns as per their respective positions





  • In the same manner create the beams by clicking quickdraw beams in left side panel

  • The beams need to draw in all stories mode




  • To rotate the columns select the columns in the window

  • Then go to frame and click on local axes to rotate column







  • Enter the angle in degree to rotate

  • Then click ok to rotate the column





  • All the column orientation is updated

  • cross check again to confirm








  • In the mumpty level draw the slab and assign one way load distribution on stair





  • Side vie and 3d view



  • Elevation view



  • To assign the loads now need to select frames

  • The wall load is acting only on frames so selct the frames

  • The frames are selectes by using object type





  • select beams and click select

  • Now all the beams are selected

  • Go to assign, click on distributed load in frame loads in frame load










  • The assigned load will be visible in the given image






  • Select all the base joints and assign pinned connection



  • To define the load combination, go to define and click on load combinations

  • click on add default design combo

  • Then slect concrete frame design and shear wall design to add load combinations

  • Also click on convert to user combination to edit them





  • After creating all the load combinations click ok



  • For slabs we need aggign the diaphragms

  • Select the slabs using object selection

  • Then go to assign shell and click on diaphragms





  • The assigned mass source is visible



  • Create mass source data



  • Click ok to finish



  • After assigning all the loads need to check the model for error

  • Click on Check model in analyse tab

  • Click on select alland click ok



  • After checking it shows no error if error found then need to correct them



  • Then click on run analysis



  • Check the storeydrift









  • Go to display and click on show tables to view results

  • Select modal periods and frequencies to view results



  • Now the Modal Participating Mass Ratios table will be visible, as shown below.

  • The building has no irregularity

  • The natural time period of building is 1.396 sec



  • After successful completion of analysis then click on concrete frame design.

  • In the concrete frame design click on start design/check.

  • After completion of design check it will display the longitudinal reinforcement details.

  • Then Switch to First floor plan view to view the longitudinal reinforcement results.



  • Verify all members passed in design



  • No members were failed so continue to produce detailing and drawing






  • Selected span concrete frame design data











  • Longitudinal and Shear reinforcement details


















  • To export load data to safe click export and select .f2k



  • Select base story and check export floor loads and loads from above



  • Open the SAFE software and go to file menu and click on select New Model to create new file

  • Then click on import to import .f2k file exported from ETABS



  • The imported file is now visible



  • Check the loads



  • Firstly need to define the materials

  • To define material properties go to define and click on materials

  • Click on add new materials to add materilas to the existind materials

  • Enter material name and data and click ok






  • After finishing all material creation click oj to finish



  • Then define slab properties







  • After defining all click ok



    To design pile cap
  • Column size = 450 x 600 mm

  • Pile length = 10 m

  • Pile diameter = 500 mm

  • Pile capacity = 280 kN

  • Elastic modulus of M25 concrete = 25000 N/mm2
  • Area of each pile = 196349.5 mm2
  • Spring constant = `(25000*196349.5)/10000 = 490.8` kN/mm2

  • Click on draw slab and and select property to draw column, pile cap and pile










  • Select all pile points to assign point spring



  • Then click ok to assign



  • The assigned point spring is visible



  • Plan view of pile group



  • Create load combinations





  • Click run analysis



  • The deflection is within limit, hence safe



  • As all the pile reaction forces are according within the limit.
  • The pile reaction forces not exceeding 280 kN, Hence safe



  • Also, all the punching shear values are less than 1, So its safe



  • Flexural reinforcement details





    RESULT

    The G+3 Hostel building is modeled, amalysed and designed using ETABS and Foundation in CSI SAFE.
