1. FOREWORD
The intent of this document is to identify and record all the pertinent input requirements, analysis & design
criteria for checking the structural stability and strengthening work of the existing building. This report details the basis
of the structural analysis and design process, by way of familiarizing with the existing conditions of the building in
terms of material strengths, material integrity and performance verification, understanding the structural needs and
services concepts. This report will address the design parameters that the structural consultant has adopted in
developing the structural analysis originally, the currently applicable parameters based on the current material
conditions and the need to strengthen and carry out rectification work of the building using required information
provided by RJIL such as drawings of existing structure, structural stability report from M/s Bright Infotech, material
testing reports etc. to satisfy the functional needs, adhering to other applicable building norms and Indian Standards
provisions to achieve safe, stable, strong and yet optimally economical structure when the proposed repair and
retrofitting exercise is completed and the building is commissioned for the purpose for which it has been acquired by
RJIL.
The parameters adopted in this report are going to be the basis of the structural design calculations. Hence it is
expected that the planning and design team members -project management team- give their feedback and approval
to the parameters, suggestions, recommendations mentioned in this report.
By its nature, this is a "work-in-progress" document and will be updated & expanded during design development as
the level of definition of various issues increases.

* Notwithstanding the grade of the concrete mentioned in the original structural design drawings, the actual
grade of concrete of components where the material testing was conducted, and from those areas which will be
compared with the condition of the material where the tests were conducted, shall be considered as input parameters
in the analytical model. The application of such deviated grades will be confirmed after a consensus among RJIL
technical team and SEC design team.
* The grade of concrete to be used in rectification work shall be decided as per the requirement.
9. EXPOSURE CONDITION
Severe exposure condition shall be applied to elements in substructure and moderate exposure condition
shall be applicable for superstructure elements.

10. ANALYTICAL APPROACH
By looking through the Architectural perspective and functional needs of the building, having higher loads
and larger spans of column grids, feasibility of various structural framing systems will be examined and appropriate
decision will be taken.
Current system is a RCC Flat Slab structural wall System with peripheral beam column frame. 7 numbers of gravity columns
support the flat slab with drop panels. Shear walls and lift walls are located on either end of the building.
With the existing sizes of various structural members (such as columns, R.C.C slabs and R.C.C beams), a 3D computer
model of the entire building structure will be generated to carry out structural analysis by considering all the effects of
vertical and lateral loads (i.e. Gravity, Wind and Earthquake).
The 3D Model will be analysed by using the “ETABS Nonlinear Version16.2.2” software. ETABS Nonlinear Version 16.2.2
has been thoroughly tested, validated and recognized internationally by several organizations and is well suited for the
analysis of building systems.
Geometrical dimensions, member properties and member-node connectivity, including eccentricities will be modelled as
per actual. Variation in material grades, if present, will also be considered.
Seismic and Wind forces will be generated by the software based on parameters, coefficients and factors assigned to the
model in accordance with the relevant codes.
The permissible values of the load factors and stresses are utilized within the purview of the Indian Standards.
The stiffness modifiers of the elements in the analytical models are to be adjusted to comply with the cracking level under
service and ultimate loads, accordingly two separate models will be run, i.e. SLS model Serviceability design check and ULS
for Strength design. Following table shows the values of Property modifiers to be adopted for respective cases:

Slabs 0.35I 0.25I Shell M11,M12 & M22
P.T Slabs 0.5I 0.35I Shell M11,M12 & M22
The computer analysis will evaluate individual internal member forces and the reactions at foundation level.
Global deformation and drift patterns of the entire structure as well as deflection and sway of individual members and
joints will also be evaluated by the 3D model analysis.
This data will then be used to verify adequacy of the existing member sizes based on the material properties from the
site investigation report.
We shall recommend strengthening of members to comply with the latest codal requirement or inadequacy in structural
members observed.
A sufficient number of iterations will be done to achieve the most appropriate and optimized structural member sizes.

Considerations adopted for 3D model,

1. Fixed supports are considered at base level.
2. Semi -Rigid diaphragm assigned to the floor and Flat plate Slab are modelled as Shell thin elements.
3. P-Delta effect is considered in analysis and design.
4. Design eccentricity is considered as per cl 7.8.2 of IS 1893: 2016.
5. Appropriate moment releases are assigned for the elements wherever required.
6. Foundation analysis and design shall been performed using SAFE 2016.
11. P-∆ ANALYSIS

P –delta is a secondary effect on shear force and bending moment of lateral resisting elements generated under
the action of the vertical loads interacting with the lateral displacement of building resulting from seismic effects (IS:
1893 4.18)
Following load combinations considered in P-delta analysis.
1.2 Dead load + 0.6 Live load (for live load > 3) + 0.3 Live load (for live load < 3)
12. LATERAL LOAD AND SERVICEABILITY LIMITS

Story displacement and drifts under lateral loads (seismic and wind) will be checked from 3D-ETABS model.
The displacement response due to seismic forces (Δs) obtained from the analytical model represents building elastic
response. However, seismic codes account for the inelastic response by magnifying the obtained elastic displacements
with correction factor.
The dynamic characteristics of the buildings will be evaluated through the investigation of the natural periods, mode
shapes and modal mass participation ratio.
Eigen Vector analysis will be initially investigated to determine the elastic periods and the modes of vibration. This
simple analysis is also useful as an initial validation tool of the analytical models.
The mass participation ratio of the building will be investigated to judge their dynamic characteristics. The number of
mode shapes considered in the analysis will also be checked to ensure that they satisfy the requirement for the
considered number of mode shapes to be used to obtain a combined mass participation ratio of at least 90% of the
actual mass in each of the orthogonal horizontal direction of the model.
The following serviceability criteria will be verified from the analysis.
Items Deflection limit
Deflection for Wind H/500
Deflection for Seismic force H/250
Inter Storey drift h/250
Immediate deflection (DL + LL) Span/350
Long term deflection Span/250
In case the any of the above criteria is not satisfied with the current geometrical, material and for the desired
loading considerations, appropriate strengthening / retrofitting measures will be recommended

15. STRUCTURAL SOFTWARE USED

3D Structural analysis for entire building will be carried out on ETABS (version 16.2.0) software.
And following software will be engaged for reinforcement designs of different structural element.
Beams : RCDC
Columns : RCDC
Floor Slab analysis : SAFE Version 16.0
Analysis : ETABS
Drawings : AutoCAD
16. PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE CONSIDERATIONS

Proposal for measures to avoid progressive collapse / design of key elements is reserved until the initial
analytical model is not complete and run to obtain the results of individual members, to ascertain the key elements in
the structure. The nature of measures to be taken will depend on the type of key element and its unique situation in
the structure that will be identified in the initial analysis run.
17. GEOTECHINCAL DATA

A fresh geotechnical investigation is underway. The soil parameters to be considered in the verification of the
foundation system will be ascertained from the soil report.
18. REPAIRS
Multiple site visits to understand the extent of damage / deterioration of the structure due to keeping it
unmaintained and unused for many years will be undertaken. The important observations that will be made during
these site visits will be as follows:
a. Assessing the condition of the structure and its individual element from the point of view of the strength and
integrity of material. In this assessment, spalling, mechanical/physical damage, bulging, necking,
honeycombing, loss of cover, corrosion of reinforcement etc. will be observed for gathering data for preparing
and exhaustive schedule of repairs.
b. Since it was decided to avoid any further testing on the structure, it is recommended that the material at the
location at which the tests were conducted should be tallied with material in other areas, and a systematic

table of possible material grade and the location of the corresponding structural element shall be prepared
as the precursor to the commencement of the analysis of the building.
c. Mapping of cracks wherever they are observed and categorizing them to receive an appropriate repair /
retrofitting measure to the crack location.
d. The mapping of cracks will also be useful in understanding the behaviour of the individual structural members
and/or the structure as a whole. After interpreting the causes of the cracks, it will be easy to address the
cause of the cracks along with repairs of the crack themselves.
e. Identifying the leakage/seepage points in the building to come up with the corrective solutions to stop the
leakage/seepage and quantify the waterproofing items.
The anticipated repair items may include:
i. Repairs of concrete by polymer mortar
ii. Strengthening the columns / walls by jacketing or steel plating
iii. Replacing the corroded reinforcement after anti-corrosion treatment
iv. Addressing thin cover issue with impervious chemical coating
v. Insertion of cathodic/ anodic capsules to prevent early corrosion
vi. Repairs to waterproofing
vii. Strengthening the floor slabs where the concrete grade is found to be less than design assumption
viii. Strengthening the floor slabs where the integrity of concrete is poor
ix. Removal of spalled concrete and recovering the concrete cross section with appropriate materials and
means
19. RETROFITTING
After the preliminary analysis of the building with the current configuration of the structural elements as regards
the geometry, member sizes, material grades, overall stiffness of the structure etc., the expected performance of the
building against dynamic loads will be assessed. In case the simulated performance does not comply with the codal
norms, appropriate strengthening / redistributing or adjusting the relative stiffness of members will be recommended
after a few trials of analytical model runs. The exact measures can be then be formulated and the building performance
brought into the desired limits specified by the codes after necessary number of analysis iterations. The anticipated
measures may include:
a. Creating or strengthening vertical stiffener elements such as bracings, shear walls, infill panels etc.
b. Creating or strengthening horizontal tie members such as beams, tie beams, adding beams under existing
floors, and horizontal bracings across cut-outs etc.
c. Creating or strengthening horizontal floor diaphragms
d. Augmenting existing columns / shear walls by jacketing, steel plating etc.
