SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS PROCEDURE OF BANGLADESH MEDICAL, DHANMONDI

Material Specification

Concrete strength=4000 psi

Reinforcing steel strength=60000 psi

A. Dead loads
Dead load is the vertical load due to the weight of permanent structural and non- structural
components of a building such as walls, floors, ceilings finishing, permanent partitions and
fixed service equipment etc. Permanent Dead loads are

i. Self-weight of structural members

ii. Floor finish =25psf
iii. Internal/periphery Partition wall =as per architectural drawings

Unit weight of material and the calculation of design dead loads shall be according to Section
2.2 Chapter 2 par 6 of BNBC 1993

B. Live loads
Live load is a load that is not permanent on structure and that may vary with time. This
depends on number of workers, number of machine and their weight and storage volume
etc. During the analysis of building following a live load of 63 psf in floors and 84 psf in
Stair and lobby has been considered in lobby and stair were considered. All the analysis
and design are based on these live loads.

C. Wind loads
The calculation of wind loads conforms to sub-clause 2.4 Chapter 2 part 6 of BNBC 1993
1993. The following equation will be used to calculate sustainable wind pressure of various
buildings

qz = CC x C1 x CZ x Vb2
Where,
qz = Sustainable wind pressure at height Z ,KN/m2
CC= Velocity to pressure conversion coefficient=47.2 x 10 -6
C1= 1.25(structural importance coefficient given I table 6.2.9 of BNBC 1993
1993
 CZ=Combined height and exposure coefficient given in Table 6.2.10 of BNBC 1993
1993 (Exposure Type A)
Vb=210 km/hr (Basic wind speed at Dhaka given in Table 6.2.8 of BNBC 1993
1993)

The design wind pressure Pz for a structure or an element of a structure at any height ,Z
above ground level shall be determined from this following relationship,
Pz=Cg x Cp x qz
Where
Pz=Design wind pressure at height z, kN/m2
Cg=Gust coefficient which shall be Gz , Gh or G as set forth in sec 2.4.6.6 of BNBC 1993
(Exposure Type A)
Cp=pressure co efficient for structure or component as set forth sec 2.4.6.7of BNBC
1993
qz= Sustained wind pressure as defined above

D. Earthquake/Seismic Loads

The calculation of earthquake loads conforms to sub clause 2.5 Chapter 2 part 6 of BNBC
1993-2006.
Static Response Method (section 2.5.6 part 6, BNBC 1993) is adopted to calculate
seismic lateral forces. The total design base shear is calculated from following equation.
V=

Z =0.15 (seismic zone coefficient given in Fig 6.2.10 of BNBC 1993

I = 1.25 (structural importance coefficient given I Table 6.2.23 of BNBC 1993)
R =8 (Response modification coefficient for Intermediate moment resisting
frame given In Table 6.2.24 of BNBC 1993)

S = 1.5 (Site coefficient for soil characteristics as provided in Table 6.2.25 of BNBC 1993)
T=Foundation period of vibration in seconds of the structure for the direction under
consideration as determined by the provisions of the Section 2.5.6.2 part 6 of BNBC
1993

E. Accidental torsion

As per BNBC 1993 Art.2.5.6.4 provisions have been made for the increased shear
resulting from horizontal torsion where floor diaphragm is rigid.

Mac=±0.05eL

Existing 48” Extended Portion

Proposed 20” Extended Portion by RAJUK

The trial and error process that were performed during the analysis of
building are described below:

1st Trial: The building has been designed for 13 storied considering BNBC 1993 and
periphery extended portion has been considered 20” as per RAJUK. In the 1st trial,
building has been considered for flat slab from 1st floor to 13th floor as previously it
was designed for flat slab all through. The building shows torsional irregularity in
every floor where the values are crossing the allowable limit with great margin. That
means the building is laterally weak.

2nd Trial: In the 2nd trial 1st floor to 6th floor has been considered for flat slab as this
portion is already built and 7th floor to 13th floor are considered with two way beam
slab where the beam sizes are 18” x18”.This condition improves the lateral stability of
building to some extent but not within our satisfactory.

3rd Trial: In the 3rd trial 1st floor to 6th floor has been considered for flat slab as this
portion is already built and 7th floor to 13th floor are considered with two way beam
slab where the beam sizes are along the edge of east-west direction are 15”x 36”
Interior beams along east-west direction are 18’x24” where along north-south
direction all the beams are 18”x18” That condition improves the lateral stability of
building significantly from 7th floor to 13th floor.

4th Trial: In the 3rd trial 1st floor to 6th floor has been considered for flat slab as this
portion is already built and 7th floor to 13th floor are considered with two way beam
slab where the beam sizes are along the edge of east-west direction are 15”x 36”
Interior beams along east-west direction are 18’x21” whereas along north-south
direction, beams at edges are 15”x24” and other beams along north-south direction
are 18”x 18” That condition improves the lateral stability of building significantly
from 7th floor to 13th floor.

5th Trial: To improve lateral stability for 1st floor to 6th floor, steel bracings were
introduced at corners of building from GF to 13th floor that improved lateral stability
of building for GF to 6th floor.

6th Trial: Due to architectural constraints as steel bracings are coinciding with existing
ducts at corners, so the bracings are shifted to the center of grid line 1 and grid line 8
where we can place those bracing with minimum adjustment.
7th Trial: But due to the entry point at GF floor and double height condition at North
site of building steel bracings are provided from 2nd floor to 6th floor .This condition
improved lateral stability of building from 3rd floor to 6th floor but values for torsional
irregularity are crossing the allowable limit with some margin for 1 st and 2nd floor
where as the torsional irregularity values for other floors are within allowable limit
or close to allowable limit.

8th Trial: To account the torsional irregularity effect, additional eccentric moment has
been considered for 1st and 2nd floor and it was found that building can take those
additional moments due to building torsional irregularity at 1st and 2nd floor.

9th Trial: Due to existing wall that are disturbed due to steel bracing installation, we
have omitted those bracing and corresponding additional moment due to torsional
irregularity has been considered in analysis and it was found that building can take
additional moment. Furthermore, with the inclusion of RCC stair at west site of
building the building exhibits better responds towards lateral stability. It is inevitable
to add RCC stair with existing building and it will provide better service as far as
stability is concerned than steel stair and RCC stair will be connected with building by
modern retrofitting technology.
