ANALYSIS OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

1. INTRODUCTION:
An engineering structure consists of members or elements transferring the load (or
resisting external actions) and providing a form, space, enclosure and/or a cover to
serve the desired function. The structural design is a science and art of designing a
structure with economy and elegance. A durable structure is one, which can safely
carry the forces and can serve the desired function satisfactorily during its service life.
The objective of structural design is to plan a structure, which meets all the basic
requirements of structural design which are given as follows:

Serviceability

Safety

Durability

Economy

Aesthetic beauty

Feasibility, practicability and acceptability.

1.1 BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF STRUCTURALDESIGN:

A creative sense, imagination, understanding and keen observation of structures in
nature, scientific knowledge of various aspects of structures, understanding of the
various structural phenomenon on basis of statistical and experimental data, and
finally, the backing of vast experience from the past, are some of the qualities
required for a structural engineer.

1.2 DESIGN PROCEDURE:

The process of structural design consists of the following phases:
Phase - I: This stage involves the determination of the following:
1.2.1

Type of structure (like RCC /STEEL)

1.2.2

Form of structure (like slab-beam, grid or shell)

1.2.3

Geometry and layout, which include determination of

positioning of Columns, beams and slab.

1.2.4

Type of material, particularly grades of steel and concrete,

method of construction like R.C.C, Steel, P.S.C, Cast-in-situ, Precasted.

Phase II: This stage involves gathering the necessary information from the client
which is as follows:
1.2.5

Function of the structure

1.2.6

Resources available

1.2.7

Importance of the structure and aesthetic requirements

1.2.8

Expected lifespan

1.2.9

Probability of extension in future

1.2.10
Relative weightage between time, economy, resources and
soon.
Phase III: This stage involves the analysis of the structure for the determination of
internal design forces (like bending moment, shear force, torsion, axial tension) in the
members and behavior of structures under the action of these forces.
Phase IV: This stage involves the determination of sizes of members, amount and
detailing of reinforcement for resisting the design force. This stage forms the core and
substance of design.
Phase V: This stage involves preparation of working drawings, giving sizes of the
members, detailing of the reinforcements, preparing bar bending schedules and
schedule of quantities giving specifications on material and special instruction, if any.

6. PROPERTIES OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS:

1) Beam size
Primary beam =

0.254mx0.3048m

2) Column size =

0.254mx0.254m

3) Slab thickness =

0.125m

4) Grade of concrete =

M20

5) Grade of steel =

Fe415

6) Height of floor =

3.1496 m

Loads considered in the Design:

Dead load

Wall load

= (3.1496-0.125-0.3048)*0.3048x20

=16.6KN/m

Self weight of slab = 0.125x1x25 = 3.75 KN/m

Floor finish

= 1 KN/m

Floor load

= 2 KN/m

Terrace load

=1.5 KN/m

Live load

Load combinations (1.5(DL+LL))

ANALYSIS OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

8. CONCLUSIONS:
My training at UNICO ASSOCIATES has been an eye-opening as well as an
enriching experience for me. I gained an in-depth and thorough knowledge on the
Structural Engineering Practices exercised by Engineers in India. It is important that a
prospective engineer such as me to develop a strong understanding in the basics of
structural elementdesign.

Knowledge about visualization of structure isobtained.

All the design requirements were checked for codal provisions.
Knowledge about preparation of structural design report is obtained
and learned to apply our engineering knowledge to practicalfield.
