Week 7 Challenge

. Setup model for RC building design and based on following parameters for cover

Answer:

The nominal covers are provided as the following:

Nominal Covers for the RC building in contact with the ground is considered as T.O.F= Top of the foundation

Nominal Covers for the building above the ground is considered as S.S.L= strcutural slab level

2. Model grids as per the attachment 2,2.1 and 2.2

Answer

Construction Level for the given RC building is considered as below:

Grid Levels are taken as per the placement of the beam column joint positions.

3. Study the layout and write a summary for general arrangement of the structure

Answer:

The layput is considered from the video is a Multi-storey Building having 10 Storeys.
The building has a Flat roof and a parapet roof.
It has Water storage tanks at the roof.
Each floor has 4 number of individual flats.

The plan for each flat shows:

3 Bedrooms

1 Dining room

1 Drawing room

1 Kitchen

1 Puja room

2 Toilets

1 Verandah

Lift access and stairs is also provided for all floors.

The main important thing to be noticed while designing of the elements is:

The Architectural view and the aesthetic view should not get hindered due to structural elements.
The obstacles formed due to mandatory structural elements are to be get resolved.
These structural obstacles should be resolved by supporting elements which help to consider the strength of the structure withput comprising with the design and strength.

For Genaral Arrangement of the Structure:

For the genaral arrangement we have to consider structure drawings for placement of the individual elements.

Construction levels are defined as given in the architectural drawings.

Grids are drawn as per the plan.

The placing of the elements starts with Fixed-Fixed supports at the base level.
Columns are placed at the required locations as per the plan.
The sizes of the column are considered 400x400mm.
Then Beams are placed connecting the columns at the required levels.
The sizes of the beams are considered as 230x600mm.
Now the slabsare defined with the thickness of 150mm,slab on beams are provided with two way slab design.
For the Lift core Pit shearwall design is made to have the strength increase.

4. Model RC columns, beams and slabs as per your general arrangement

Answer:

Columns are positioned from the base to the Parapet Wall.
Beams are drawn from first floor to the roof.
RC columns shown in plan are placed accordingly with the distances mentioned as per the grids.
The columns are joined with the beam as shown below.
