3.
Aim:- To differentiate the one way and two way slab, explaination about the secondary beam, mentioning of primary load cases, steps involved in assigning proerties and support to a model, step to follow to create the secondary beam
3.1. Differentiate One-Way and Two way slabs. Elaborate each slab type.
| One way slab | Two way slab |
|
The ratio of ly/lx is greater than 2 then it is called as one way slab |
The ration of ly/lx is less than or equal to 2 then it is called two way slab |
|
One way slab is supported by two beam on the opposite ends |
Two way slab is suppoeted by four beam on all four sides |
|
The qunatity of steel is required is less |
The quantity of steel is required is more |
|
In one way slab the bending takes place in only one direction that is in shorter direction |
In two way slab the bending takes place in both two direction |
2. Explain the concept of secondary beams with proper sketch.
Secondary beams are connected with main primary beams, these beams acts as a simply supported beam
In the secondary beam the moment at the end support is zero
Secondary beam carry certain amount of load from the slab then transfer into the primary beams
Secondary beams carry only the shear not moments
3. Mention the Primary load cases.
a. State the Indian Standards for each load case
b. Detail the parameters of each load case
c. Brief each load case
a. State the Indian Standards for each load case
Dead load (IS 875:part 1)
Live load (IS 875:part 2)
Wind load (IS 875: part 3)
Seismic load (IS 1893:2016)
b. Detail the parameters of each load case
Member load
Concentrated load
Floor load
Plate load
c. Brief each load case
Dead load :-
Dead load is a permanent load on the structure which is a self weight of the structure
This load is caused by the beam, column, slab, footing loads
This load is calculated by using the IS 875 Part 1
Live load:-
This loads are fully or partially vary from time to time on the structures
This loads are not constant throughout the life span of the structures
Live loads varies based on type of structures
This load is calculated by using the IS 875 Part 2
Wind Load:-
Wind load is a load on the structure which is generated by the wind
Wind load is an important load, we must and should consider the wind load in the hilly region
In the normal flat region also we consider the wind load when the height of the structure is above 15m
This load is calculated by using the IS 875 Part 3
Seismic load:-
We should consider the seismic load for the analysis and design of the high rise building
We consider this load where the chance of earthquake occur is normal and also we consider this load in the earthquake prone areas.
As per the IS code we carried out the dynamic seismic analysis by two methods they are Spectrum analsyis and Time history method
This load is calculated by using the IS 1893:2016
4. Detail the steps involved in assigning Properties and Support to a model using STAAD Pro sequentially.
Steps involved in assigning Properties and Support to a model using STAAD Pro are
Assigning Properties
After creating the geometry then go to the property tab
Click on the define material
Select any one of the section weather it may be Recatngular, Circular, Tee etc.,
Select the material for the section weather it may be Concrete, Steel, Aluminium etc.,
If the Rectangular Section is selected then provide the dimensions to the section
Then select the material for the rectangular secction
Then click add and close
Click on the Property then assign to the selected view
For Supports
Click on the support tab
Then click on the create
Then select the type of the support we want to provide
Click on add then close
Then click on assign to the view property
5. Brief the steps to be followed to create and assign secondary beams in STAAD Pro
Step1:-
Create the model by providing the name, units
Then the modelling screen opens then click on the geometry
Then create the nodes by using the X,Y and Z co-ordinates
Next click right key of mouse then choses the select cursor and select the nodes cursor.
Step2:-
After creating the nodes from the co-ordinates
Then select the beam then click right button of the mouse
Then click on the insert node to provide the secondary beam
Step3:-
After selecting the insert node then insert node into beam dialouge box opens
Click on the add mid point then click on OK
Repeat this procedure for another beam also
Step4:-
After creating the beam node in the mid point
Draw the beam which connects mid point of one beam to another beam
This is called secondary beam
Step5:-
After creating the secondary beam
Go to the property tab then click on the define
Then property dialouge box opens then select the Rectangle
Provide the dimension as 0.23x0.23
Then click on add
Step6:-
After adding the property then select the properties
Then click on the assign to selected beam
Then click on assign
Step7:-
After assigning the property then provide the material
Go to the material tab select the concrete
Click on assign to view
Then click on Assign
Step8:-
After providing the material then assign the supports for the column
Then provide the dead load, In dead load provide the Self weight
Then provide the live load, In live load provide the floor load
Then analyse the model then we will see the secondary beam carries the hogging moment so we need to release the moment
Then go to analytical model then go to specification then release the beam force (Fx) and Moment (Mz)
Then anlyse the model then we will get the 0 moment at the support

Practical
1. Calculate the wind pressure for the given building
a. Building Dimension : 20m x 30m x 20m height RCC
b. Building usage : Hospital block in city centre
c. Location : Darjeeling
From IS 875 Part - 3 1987
Design wind speed (Vz)

Vz = Vb x k1 x k2 x k3 x k4 ( Page no 12 Item no 5.3)
Where,
Vz = Design wind speed at height z in m/s
k1 = Probability factor (risk co-efficient)
k2 = terrain roughness and height factor
k3 = Topography factor
k4 = Importance factor for cyclonic region
From Annex - A the wind speed is 47 m/s for Darjeeling

From table 1 wkt hospital builidng is a Important builidng and design life of structure is 100 years
So for 47m/s wind speed k1=1.07

To find k2 first we have to see the category of building which it lies
our builidng lies in Category 4
Height of the building is 20m
From table 2 for the category 4 and 20m height k2=0.80

From topography factor k3=1

From importance factor for cyclic region k4=1.3
Vz = Vb x k1 x k2 x k3 x k4
Vz = 47x1.07x0.80x1x1.3
Vz = 52.30m/s
Calculation of wind pressure
Pz = 0.6 x Vz^2
Pz = 0.6x52.30^2
Pz = 1641.174 N
Pz = 1.64 KN
Here we can calculate for different height

2. Calculate the Dead load and Live load for the above building with reference to IS standards ( assume suitable sections )
Calculating Dead laod for the slab
Assume the thickness of the slab is 150mm
Dead load for the slab = Thickness x unit weight of RCC
Length = 20m
Breadth = 30m

Dead load for the slab = Thickness x unit weight of RCC
= 0.15x25
= 3.75 KN/m^2
Calculating dead load for beam
Assume the beam dimension is 300x500mm
Assume the length of the beam is 10m
Dead load for the beam = Volume x unit weight of RCC
= 10x0.3x0.5x25
= 37.5KN
Calculating dead load for partition wall
Assume,
Unit weight of brick = 20KN/m^2
Height of the wall = 3m
Width of the brick = 0.3m
Partition wall width = 0.15m
Length of wall = 10m
Dead load for partition wall = Area of brick x Unit weight of brick
= Thickness of wall x Height of wall x unit weight of brick
= 0.15x3x20
= 9 KN/m
Live load
Calculating live load as per IS 875 Part 2

Occupancy Live load
For wards, dressign rooms and lounges 2 KN/m^2
Kitchen and labratories 3 KN/m^2
Dining room and cafeterians 3 KN/m^2
Toilets and bathrooms 2 KN/m^2
X-ray rooms and Operating rooms 3 KN/m^2
Office room and OPD rooms 2.5 KN/m^2
Corridors, passage, lobbies and stairs 4 KN/m^2
Result:-
The answers are written in detail for
Calculate the Dead load
Calculate the Live load
