3 Seismic Load: The force on a structure caused by acceleration induced on its

mass by an
earthquake. This load is included in design to determine the extent of seismic
reinforcing. The
seismic loads on the structure during an earthquake result from inertia forces
which were created by
ground accelerations. The magnitude of these loads is a function of the following
factors: mass of
the building, the dynamic properties of the building, the intensity, duration, and
frequency content
of the ground motion, and soil-structure interaction. The analysis method and
earthquake loads
are calculated as specified in IS1893-2002.
1.5.4 Wind Load: Wind is air in motion relative to the surface of the earth. The
primary cause of wind
is traced to earth‟s rotation and differences in terrestrial radiation. The
radiation effects are primarily
responsible for convection either upwards or downwards. The wind generally blows
horizontal to the
ground at high wind speeds. Since vertical components of atmospheric motion are
relatively small, the
term „wind‟ denotes almost exclusively the horizontal wind, vertical winds are
always identified as
such. Wind load on the building would be usually uplift force perpendicular to the
roof due to suction
effect of the wind blowing over the roof. The positive or negative force of the
wind acting on the
structure; wind applies a positive pressure on the windward side of the building
and a negative suction
to the leeward side.. This analysis ignored the wind loads as the building is
located in seismic zone V
and hence the earthquake loads predominant it and the height of the building is
less.
2. METHODOLOGY
The project provided to us is completed performing each section works mentioned in
the contents
before The following stages are involved in the analysis and design of three and
half storey
building.
2.1 Load Calculation
Load calculation is done using the IS 1893:2002 and NBC105: 1994 as code of
standards. The
exact value of unit weights of the materials from the code is used in the
calculation. The thickness
of materials is taken as per design requirements.
