Analysis and Design of a Three storeyed building

These calculations are for a three storeyed building to be used as a community complex building.
The building is to be located on a site with non-cohesive soils.
The design calculations have concentrated on structural members which are deemed to be of critical
importance to the structural integrity of the development. The following have been considered:

 Slab panels between grids C-D and 1-5

 Beam 2 (along Grid 3 on 1st floor)
 Beam 7 (along grid G on 2nd floor)
 Column C3 (at grid intersection D2)
 Pad footing F2 (at grid intersection D2)
 Staircase

Design Parameters
General

 The building consists of an auditorium for which analysis and design are to be carried out
 The building is for congregational purposes as it is a place of worship.
 The building contains partitioning walls. External and internal walls are 230mm thick with
12mm plaster on both sides considered
 The main beams of the structure rest centrally on the columns to avoid local eccentricity
 For all structural elements, C25 grade concrete will be used unless otherwise stated
 The floor diaphragms are assumed to be rigid
 Center-line dimensions are followed for analysis and design. It is advisable to consider finite
size joint width in practice
 Preliminary sizes of structural components are assumed by experience and/ calculations
where applicable
 For analysis purposes, the beams are assumed to be rectangular so as to distribute slightly
larger moments in columns in practice, a beam that fulfils the requirement of a flanged
section in design behaves in between the rectangular and flanged section for moment
distribution

DESIGN OF HOLLOW SLAB

The design of the max-pan floor is similar to that of a T-Beam, therefore the same procedure of
design will be followed

Design Data

 Size of max-pan used = 300 x 300 x 150 (Kajjansi max-pans)

 Weight of one max-pan = 9kg
 Concrete topping = 50mm
 Diameter of bars = 12mm
 Weight of concrete = 24kN/m3
 Grade of concrete fcu = 25N/mm3 (mild conditions of exposure)
 Tensile strength of steel fy = 410N/mm3
 Plaster and finishes = 50mm

Ultimate load of hollow slab

Reference drawing

Width of max-pan, b = 2(380/2) + 75 = 455mm

Number of max-pans per square meter of floor = 1/(0.455 x 0.3) =7.326,

Consider 8 max-pans

Weight of 8 max-pans = (8x9x10)/1000 = 0.72kN/m2

Volume of 1m2 of 200mm thick slab = 0.20 x 1 = 0.20m3

Volume of 8 max-pans = 8[(0.3x0.3x0.1) + (0.38x0.3x0.05)]

=0.118m3

Volume of concrete/m2 = 0.20 – 0.118 = 0.082m3

Weight of concrete = 0.082 x 24 = 1.968kN/m2

Weight of finishes = 0.05 x 24 = 1.20kN/m2

Dead load on slab, Gk = weight of max-pan + concrete + finishes

= 0.72 + 1.968 + 1.20

Gk = 3.888kN/m2

Imposed load Qk (BS6399 -1: 1996 Table 1)

Domestic and Residential = 1.5kN/m2
Design load is based on the most critical imposed load
Hence imposed load Qk = 1.5kN/m2

Ultimate design load, n =1.4Gk + 1.6Qk

N = 1.4 x 3.888 + 1.6 x 1.5 N = 7.84kN/m2

Ultimate load per strip of slab, W = 0.455 x 7.84

W = 3.57kN/m

Allow for weight of footing Wb to be 10% of serviceability load

Assume square footing of side Lm

Service Load, Ns = 1.0Gk + 1.0Qk + Wb

Wb = 0.1(357.14 + 184.27) = 54.14kN

Therefore, Ns = 357.14 + 184.27 + 54.14 = 595.55kN

Plan area of the base, Ap = Ns/Qs =Service load/safe bearing Capacity of section

Ap = 595.55/200

= 2.978m2 Hence L2 = 2.978m2

L = sqrt(2.978) L = 1.73m

Hence provide a 1.8m x 1.8m Square base (Area = 3.24m2)

Self weight of the footing

Assume overall depth of the footing h = 400mm, then self weight of footing = Volume x Density

For ultimate limit state,

Ultimate load, Nu = 1.4x357.14 + 1.6x184.27 = 794.83 kN
