EXERCISE 1

ANALYSIS, DESIGN AND DETAILING:

REINFORCED CONCRETE (RC) STRUCTURE
Total marks = 100

Figures 1 to 5 show the general architectural floor plan of a three storeyed RC building.
The floor to floor height is 3.5 m for all storeys. Plinth level is 450 mm above the finished
ground level (FGL), which is in turn 800 mm above the natural ground level (NGL). The
geotechnical investigation report recommends isolated footings under the columns, which
may be placed 1.5 m below NGL, where the allowable net bearing pressure equal to 180
kN/m2 is available.
For this building, carry out the following in your capacity as a qualified Structural Engineer:
1. Conceive a suitable framing plan of beams and columns with a column to column
spacing not exceeding 8 m. Spans of slabs should not exceed 4 m.

2. Assume suitable member sizes and carry out estimation of all loads. Earthquake
and wind load computation and their vertical distribution should be done manually
considering entire building. Perform 3D structural analysis for load combinations
as per the codal requirements using STAAD. The effect of floor slab may be
appropriately considered in lateral load analysis in view of the unsymmetrical
shape of the building in plan.

3. Check the suitability of assumed member sizes at critical locations. Revise sizes if
necessary and finalize the analysis.

4. Carry out manual design and detailing (with drawings) of following:

(a) One typical footing.
(b) One complete column from top of footing to the top floor of building.
(c) One first floor beam from one end of the building to other.
(d) Four adjacent slab panels.

Concise calculations and drawings of the above elements should be submitted by 29

September 2017.
