 8. Serviceability requirements

Following aspects are considered in terms of serviceability: drift, deflection, crack

width

a. Drift

Following aspects are considered for drifts under wind and earthquake loads

Lateral Load Drift Limit

Wind H/500

Earthquake H/250

Limit both drift to H/500 for wind load & H/250 for seismic load
H = height of the building
Wind load drift = 34/500 =0.068
seismic load drift = 34/250 = 0.136

b. Control of Deflection:
Following limitations are considered for floor deflections:
Total long-term deflection - Span / 250
Long term deflection after non-structural components is installed - Span / 350
or 20 mm whichever less
glass facade = span/500
c. Control of crack width
Member type Crack width (mm)
Interior members protected from external 0.3
weather
External members exposed to weather 0.2
Members below ground & retaining walls 0.2
(Interior & Exterior face)

0.1 mm under aggressive conditions

d. Floor Vibration
Frequency of the Minimum floor vibration 4 Hz (we consider nil)
Heavy machinery follows as Euro code
