EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Boiler Exhaust stand 2(Creative Collection Ltd.) HA-MEEM GROUP is located in Nishatnagar, Tongi,
Bangladesh.

The primary purpose of the assessment was to confirm the structural integrity, risk and to
determine the necessary steps for retrofitting of the factory. Detail Engineering Assessment
Included-
• Preparation of As-built drawings
• Structural analysis to assess safety and serviceability against loading as set out in Alliance
Standards.

According to the need of assessment our Sr. Engineers and team of Jr. Engineers have done the
assessment.
The following findings have been identified during assessment:
• We have prepared as-built structural drawings to conduct the structural analysis.
• We have considered 36Ksi for all members.

A 3D finite element model has been developed to check the actual superstructure using
STAAD.Pro V8i SS5 & RCC Grade Beam, Short Column analysis by STAAD.Pro V8i SS6(ACI-
318 1999). Geometry, Loading and design Codes are followed as per Alliance regulation and
guideline. Material properties such as element-wise compressive strength of concrete and tensile
strength of rebar are strictly followed according to the site investigation and scanning report. The
prepared As-built drawings (Appendix 1) are taken into consideration in developing the model. In
the entire structure, critical structural elements such as transfer column or very long span beam are
not found. The analysis has been run for different load combination and load cases as per Alliance
guideline for day-to-day loading.

Based on actual drawing as per site inspection, analysis and design of superstructure are
performed. Separate hand calculations are also conducted for verification where necessary. Using
the model and hand calculation, the key findings may be illustrated as follows:
Superstructure &Substructure

➢ Steel Columns are adequate according to BNBC 2006 load combination.

➢ All Steel beams are adequate according to BNBC 2006 load combination.
➢ Structure is adequate in Displacement.

1. INTRODUCTION

After a preliminary investigation on structural integrity done by Alliance, it was recommended to

perform a Detailed Engineering Assessment (DEA) to identify performance of the structure. The
following chapters include the methodology and results obtained from the testing and analysis of
Boiler Exhaust stand 2(Creative Collection Ltd.) HA-MEEM GROUP.

1.1 SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT

The scope of assessment as specified by Alliance is mentioned below-

1. Prepare As-Built Structural and Architectural Drawings of the Building.

2. A geotechnical Report describing ground conditions and commenting on foundation
systems used/proposed.
3. Conducting Steel Test to confirm the strength of the Steel.
4. The Engineering teams are to carry out supporting calculations with a model-based design
check to assess the safety and serviceability of the building against loading as set out in
Alliance Standard Part 8.
5. A report on Engineering tests carried out to justify material strengths and reinforcement
content in all key elements studied.
6. Detailed load plans shall be prepared for each level showing current and potential future
loading with all key equipment items shown with associated loads.

2. DATA COLLECTION AND FIELD TESTING

The first phase of work involved a review of the original designs (if available) and construction
documents, soil test report and drawings with the necessary approvals. These were used to

• Assess the structural layout of the buildings

• Check the as-built configuration with the provided drawings (If Available).
• Identify the specified loads to assess usage and possibility of overloading.
• Verify if unauthorized addition or alteration have been carried out in the building
structures.

Based on these evaluations, the following field surveys were carried out:

I. Preparation of As-Built Drawings

II. Spot Check of Foundation by Excavation.
III. Soil test to confirm the actual ground condition.
IV. Preparation of Model and Analysis.
V. Preparation of Report, Recommendations/ Suggestions (If Any).

2.3 AS-BUILT SURVEY OF THE PROJECT

As-built survey of the building was carried out using measuring tapes, slide calipers, ultrasonic
distance meter. The building interiors were measured with a steel tape. The purpose of the As-built
survey was to determine numbers of columns, beams and their sizes, block sizes, equipment
positions etc. their alignment and placement to prepare as-built drawings of the building according
to NTP standard. Based on the as-built survey of the building as-built drawings have been prepared
which is attached in the Appendix 1.
