- Live load / Imposed load
- Wind load
- Earth quakeload
1.2)
ANS : One - way slab
- The ratio of the longer span to the shorter span is greater than 2 is know as one - way slab
- Where LY / LX is great than 2
1.3)

- The Unit weight of soil is 18 kN/m3
1.4)
ANS:
- Circular section
- Rectangular section
- Trepezodial section
- Tee section
- Genaral section
- Tapered I
- Tapered tube

1.5)
ANS:
- Primary Beams are the beam located at the exterior of the Structural elements
- Secondary beam are laid on the primary beam
2.1)
ANS: The factors that influence the design presure intensity of a high rise building are
-
k1 = probability factor ( risk coefficient.)
-
k2 = terrain, height and structure size
-
k3 = topography factor
Design Wind Pressure - The design wind pressure at any height above mean ground level shall be obtained by the following relationship
between wind pressure and wind velocity
Pz = 0.6 Vz^2
2.2)
ANS: The load transfer process of a reinforced concrete building is
- Slab
- Secondary beam
- Primary beam
- Columns
- Foundation
3.1)
ANS :
One - way slab
- The ratio of the longer span to the shorter span is greater than 2 is know as one - way slab
- Where LY / LX is greater than 2
Two - way slab
- The ratio of the longer span to the shorter span is less than or equal to 2 is know as two way slab
- Where LY / LX is Less than 2
3.2)
ANS :
- Secondary beam are the internal beam that are restrained on the primary beam
- They are the simply supported beam
- In secondary beam the moment is Zero at the end of the beam
3.3)
a. State the Indian Standards for each load case
ANS :
- For Dead load : IS code 875 Part 1
- Live load : IS code 875 part 2
- Wind load : IS code 85 part 3
- Seismic load : IS 13927
b. Detail the parameters of each load case
ANS :
- The parameter of Dead load are 1) unit weight 2) Volume of the section that may be rectangular section , circular section etc
- The parameter of Live load are depend on the building type reidential building , commercial building, industrial building , Area type room , toilet room , corriodar , roof etc
c. Brief each load case
ANS :
- A load case is a combination of different types of loads with safety factors applied to them.
- A structure is checked for strength and serviceability against all the load cases it is likely to experience during its lifetime.
3.4)
ANS :
- Go to property section
- Click on Define material
- Select the section , Rectangular section , circular section etc
- Select the material type concrete , steel , aluminum
- Select the material type and assign to the selected view
For the support
- Click on the support
- Click on the create
- Select the type of support do we want to assign the section
3.5)
ANS:
- First create a simple model by using the node in staad pro.
- Click on the create beam option and create a beam in the direction of x and Z axis
- Click on any primary beam in the section
- Right click and add new node in the beam section a node will be added
- Again click on the create beam

PRACTICAL:
1)
ANS:
Wind presure Pz = 0.6 Vz^2
where Vz = Vb X k1 X k2 X K3
Vb = Wind speed at the certain location = 50
K1 = Risk coffiecient =1.0
K2 = Terrain height and structure factor = 1.12
K3 = Topography factor = 0.5
Vz = Vb X k1 X k2 X K3
= 50 X 1.0 X 1.12 X 0.5
= 28
Pz= 0.6X (28)^2=470.4
2)
ANS:
The Dead load of the section considering the section length 10 m and width 0.3m and depth is 0.6m
Dead load of the section = Unit weight x volume of the section
= unit weight of concrete is 25 KN/m
= Volume of the section = 0.6 x 0.3 X1
= 0.18 m^3
Dead load = 25 X 0.18
= 4.5 KN/m
Live load = based on usage and occupancy
