Consider a five storey rectangular steel residential building, located in Mumbai, with plan
dimensions 10.5m x 30m and each floor of 3 m height. The structural framing plan is shown
in the figure

You are allowed to use a spreadsheet to simplify your work and tabulate the results.
1. Consider each beam in a particular location to be the same on all floors. Calculate
approximate weights of the beams by looking for the required section modulus in IS
808 steel tables for I-beams. Consider only LL for this approximate calculation. Look for
ISMB beams.
2. Calculate approximate column sections and weights by considering the loads at the
footings. Assume the same section for all five storeys. Assume short columns. Hence
look at area of the section required based on the loading and assumed yield strength of
steel.
3. Calculate dead load of the structure by considering beam and column weights and any
other loads that you can think of. You may use IS 875 Part 1 as well for additional loads.
