The seventh chapters present the conclusions and recommendations of this study.


The sixth chapter presents the design calculations of Staircase.  The fifth chapter
presents the design calculations of columns and footing.  The forth chapter presents
the design calculations of floor beam.  The third chapter presents the design
calculations of slab and drawing of Building.  The second chapter contains types of
load on structure.  The first chapter presents the introduction about Multi-story
Buildings and slabs, beams, columns, footing etc.. he main objective of this project
is to analyze and design a multi-story building (3D-dimensional reinforce concrete
frame), the design of reinforced concrete slabs, beams, columns, footings and
Staircase were made by hand calculations according to ACI code and compare the
results by using STAAD.PRO. In order to design, it is important to first obtain the
plan of the particular building that is, positioning of the particular rooms (Drawing
room, bed room, kitchen toilet etc.) such that they serve their respective purpose and
also suiting to the requirement and comfort of the inhabitants An office building were
used with reinforced concrete frame consists of three floors where the maximum
area of floor =(21.9*40.9) m2. Each floor consists of twelve offices. We used
AutoCAD programs to complete the architectural design, STAAD Pro v8iSSS to
design and analyze the structure of building. Finally, we arranged the results as
architectural and structural maps for this building. STAAD PRO has a very interactive
user interface which allows the user to draw the frame and input the load values
dimensions and materials properties. Then according to the specified criteria
assigned it analysis the structure and design the members with reinforcement details
for reinforced concrete frames. The design process of structural planning and design
requires not only imagination and conceptual thinking but also sound knowledge of
science of structural engineering besides the knowledge of practical aspects, such
as recent design codes, bye laws, backed up by ample experience, intuition and
judgment. The purpose of standards is to ensure and enhance the safety, keeping
careful balance between economy and safety. For designing of columns and beams,
it is necessary to know the moments they are subjected to. Designing of slabs
depends upon whether it is a one-way or a two way slab, the end conditions and the
loading. From the slabs, the loads are transferred to the beam. Thereafter, the loads
(mainly shear) from the beams are taken by the columns. Finally, the sections must
be checked for all the four components with regard to strength and serviceability.
Analysis of multi-storey building frames involves lot of complications and tedious
calculations by conventional methods by hand. To carry out such analysis is a time
consuming task. This project is deal with many computer programs to help us to
complete the work. An excel programs were designed to calculate the moments in
slabs using method two with interpolations to factors and loads in beams with
moments and design section and reinforcement. This program is more effective for
analysis the two way slab; by inter a few numbers of variables that related with type
of slab and the dimension of beam and Columns and the expected applied load.
Then the program calculated the combination load that will be applied on the frame;
and then check the thickness of slab with the limitation of shear. Then the program
divided the slab to several frame in the two directions vertical and horizontal; and
calculate the details moment for each part of span; and then calculate the required
area of steel for each moment. This study is divided into seventh chapters:
