ABSTRACT

The 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 BS code
and compare the results by using RCC and Prokon.
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 Abstract
Full hand calculation, analysis and design of multi story building II
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:
 The first chapter presents the introduction about Multi-story Buildings and slabs,
beams, columns, footing etc..
 The second chapter contains types of load on structure.
 The third chapter presents the design calculations of slab and drawing of Building.
 The forth chapter presents the design calculations of floor beam.
 The fifth chapter presents the design calculations of columns and footing.
 The sixth chapter presents the design calculations of Staircase.
 The seventh chapters present the conclusions and recommendations of this study.
