1.1.

Problem Statement
Analyse and design an economical and stable RCC framed building for the usage in
Residential
purpose using CSI-ETABS and manual calculations.
1.2. Scope
The main scope of this project is to apply standards of Nepal National building
codes and IS- 456,
IS-13920, IS-1893 in designing a building. These building require great extent
consideration of
earthquake effects on building. This building is located in seismic zone V
therefore the lateral
loading of earthquake considered is predominant to the effects of wind loads. Hence
wind loads are
not considered. Almost materials and their sizes are so chooses that these are
easily available in the
market.
1.3 General
This report summarizes the structural analysis and design of building of �������..�
at
���. Municipality/VDC ward no���..It has planned to utilize the building as
educational aspect. The aim of design is the achievement of an acceptable
probability that
structures being designed will perform satisfactorily during their intended life.
1. The building will be used dwellings or hotels so that there are Partition walls
inside the building.
External walls 230 mm thick and internal walls 115mm thick with 12 mm plaster on
both sides are
considered. For simplicity in analysis, no sloping shades are used in the building
analysis even though
balconies and terraces are intentionally included.
2. At ground floor, slabs are not provided and the floor will directly rest on
ground. Therefore,
only ground beams passing through columns are provided as tie beams. The floor
beams are
thus absent in the ground floor.
3. The main beams rest centrally on columns to avoid local eccentricity.
4. For all structural elements except slabs, M25 grade concrete will be used.
However, higher M30
grade
concrete is used for central columns up to plinth, in ground floor and in the first
floor.
5. Column size are kept in similar group to ascertain simplicity in construction.
6. The floor diaphragms are assumed to be rigid
7. Preliminary sizes of structural components are assumed by experience.
8. Tie Beams are provided in connecting the footings. This is optional in zones II
and III; however, it is
mandatory in zones IV and V.
9. Seismic loads will be considered acting in the horizontal direction (along the
two principal
directions) and not along the vertical direction, since it is not considered to be
significant.
10. The analysis and design has been based on the prevailing codes that are in
practice in India
and Nepal, the Indian Standard code IS 1893(Part 1):2002 and the NBC (105:1994)
code at places
if required. This report consists of the design procedures adopted, the assumptions
made, the
inputs made in the design and the design output.
