Challenge

To calculate the dead , live and wind load for RC residential structure and to apply them using TSD

ANSWER 1

  • Finishes of 50mm
  • Slab thickness as per the design
  • Brick wall load
  • Roofing load

Finish load = 0.5*24=1.2KN/m^2

Slab load will be generated within the software

Brick wall + cement plaster thickness 230mm

Brick wall load = GL-1st floor-0.23*20*3.2=14.72KN/m^3

Same for 1st floor roof level

Roof level = 0.155*0.9*20=2.79KN/m^3

Roof load - finish load - 1.2KN/m^3

ANSWER 2

As per IS 875: part 3, live load for RC office building are

  • Office=3KN/m^2
  • Reception= 3KN/m^2
  • Meeting room/conference room = 4KN/m^2
  • Equipment room = 10KN/m^2
  • Toilet = 2KN/m^2
  • Store room= 5KN/m^2
  • Staircase = 4KN/m^2
  • Lobby = 3KN/m^2
  • Cooridor= 4KN/m^2
  • Roof =1.5KN/m^2

ANSWER 3

AS per IS 875 part 3

Basic parameters

  • Basic wind speed = 50m/s
  • Terrain category 2
  • Probabe design period of building - 50years
  • Class of structure A

Dimension of building

  • Greater horizontal dimension = 19.225m
  • Lesser horizontal dimension = 107m
  • Height of building= 6.4m
  • Width of frame 1, Grid A to B-6m

Ratio of wall and roof-coefficient

Wall - L/w = 1.8

Wall - h/w = 0.6

Roof - h/w = 0.6

Topography factor, K3-1

Risk co-efficient, K1-1

up to 10m height, terrain factor(k2)-1

Important factor for cyclonic, k4-1.15

Design wind speed, V2=Vb*K1*K2*K3*K4=39*1*1*1*1.5=44.85m/s

Design wind pressure, Pz=0.6*vz^2/1000= 0.6*44.85/1000=1.207KN/m^2

Internal pressure coefficient= 0.5

Internal pressure coefficient = -0.5

ANSWER 4

AIM

Based on above calculation apply the loadings on the model

PROCEDURE

  • Go to load toolbar, define load cases

  • Generate load combinations
  • For dead load, finish load- select area load and enter 1.2KN/m^2

  • For brickwall load, select full UDL/point UDL and enter the respective value

  • For live load, select area load and enter value as per IS code book

  • For wind load, first add wall panels

  • Select area load and respective direction of building face, enter the value an select on wall panel

RESULT

The calculated loads are applied on the model successfully
