a. IS 456: 2000 : For Design of Structural Elements
b. SP 16 : Design Aid
c. SP 34 and IS 13920:1993 : For Detailing
d. NBC 105:1994 : For Lateral Loading
e. IS 875 part I : For Dead Load
f. IS 875 part II : For Live Load

6. LOAD ON STRUCTURES
The following Loads were assumed to act on the Structural System.
a. Dead Load (DL)
g. Live Load (LL)
h. Seismic Load (E)

6.1 Dead Load

Dead Load on the structure comprise the self-weight of the member; weight of the
finishes and partition walls. The Loads on the beams due to the slabs were calculated
according to clause 23.5 of IS 456 – 2000. The Wall Load is taken for thickness of either
230 mm or 125 mm as per Architectural Drawing and suitable reduction is made for
Window and Door Opening.
6.2 Live Loads or Imposed Loads
The Live Load for floors, roofs, staircase and corridors are taken as specified in Section
4.2.

6.3 Seismic Load

For Earthquake Load, 100% of Dead Load and 25% of Live Load is taken into account.
Seismic Coefficient method using IS 1893:2002 is applied for Earthquake Analysis of
the Structure.

7. LOAD COMBINATION
According to IS 1893:2002, the following Load Combinations are used for analysis of
critical conditions.
Load Combination and Load Factors used:
a. 1.5 DL + 1.5 LL
b. 1.2DL + 1.2 LL + 1.2 EX
c. 1.2DL + 1.2 LL - 1.2 EX
d. 1.2DL + 1.2 LL + 1.2 EZ
e. 1.2DL + 1.2 LL - 1.2 EZ
f. 1.5 DL +1.5 EX
g. 1.5 DL -1.5 EX
h. 1.5 DL +1.5 EZ
i. 1.5 DL -1.5 EZ
j. 0.9 DL +1.5 EX
k. 0.9 DL -1.5 EX
l. 0.9 DL +1.5 EZ
m. 0.9 DL -1.5 EZ

8. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
The Structure is analyzed and designed using ETABS V15. The structure is modeled as a
three dimensional frame. Elastic analysis has been performed assuming homogenous,
isotropic and linear material properties.

9. DESIGN METHODS OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

Indian Standard Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete IS: 456-2000 is used
for design of Structural Elements. The Limit State Method is used for design of all
elements.

10. DETAILING OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

The Reinforcement detailing of most of the important structural components have been
shown on the drawing. They conform to the relevant sections of the IS 456:1975, NBC
105:1994, IS 13920:1993, SP: 16, and SP 34:1987.

 Sample Design of Slab
Design Data
fck = 20 N/mm2
fy = 500 N/mm2
Dimensions of the slab (c/c distance betn supports),
Length of short span, lx = 2.59 m
Length of long span, ly = 3.81 m
Width of the supporting beam, = 230 mm
Clear cover to main reinforcement = 15 mm
Assume dia. of reinforcement steel = 8 mm

Calculations
Assume the thickness of slab as 125 mm ;
Effective depth, deff = 106 mm
Effective span, Lx = 2.59 m
ly = 3.8
(ly / lx) = 1.47 < 2; Here, (ly / lx) is less than 2
Hence design the slab as two way slab

Load Calculations
Dead Load of slab = 0.125 x 25 = 3.13 KN/m2                          
Finishes load on slab = 1.00 KN/m2                          
Total Dead load acting on the slab = 4.13 KN/m2
 Live Load on slab = 2.0 KN/m2
Factored Design Load, W = 9.20 KN/m2

Support Condition (Type of panel according to support condition)

One Long Edge Discontinuous For this support condition,
Short span coefficient for (ly / lx) = 1.02, Long span coefficient,
For negative moment, ax = 0.0384 For negative moment, ay = 0.037
For positive moment, ax = 0.0290 For positive moment, ay = 0.028

Moment Calculation
Max. BM per unit width, Mx = ax w lx2 & My = ay w lx2

Mu Mu / bd2 pt Ast, req Ast , min = (0.12/100) bD = 150 mm2

For Short Span,                         Reinforcement details
At mid span, 2.59 0.28 0.0655 69
At supports, 3.51 0.37 0.087 92 Provide 8 @ 150 mm c/c at midspan &
For Long span,               supports for short span (Ast pro. = 335 mm2 )
At mid span, 3.05 0.32 0.075 80 Provide 8 @ 150 mm c/c at midspan &
At supports, 4.03 0.42 0.099 105 supports for long span (Ast pro. = 335 mm2 )

Check for Deflection

Percentage of tension reinforcement = 0.27 %
 fs = 0.58 fy (Ast req / Ast pro) = 60
Refer Fig. 4 of IS 456,
Modification factor = 1.5
( l/ d) max = ( l/ d) basic x kt x kc = 39
( l/ d)provided = 32
< ( l/ d) max (i.e. = 39) OK
Hence safe in deflection.

Check for shear

Shear force per m strip (W*lx/2), V = 15.833 KN/m
Shear stress , (V/bd), τv = 0.130 N/mm2
Pt = 0.27%
Design Shear Strength of Concrete
τc = 0.360 N/mm2 Refer Table 19, IS 456
> τv (i.e. = 0.13) OK
Since τc > τv, so safe in shear.
