BACKGROUND
This Building project is located at Dhapasi, Kathmandu. This project comprises planning
architectural design, structural design, electrical design and sanitary design components. The
basic aim of the structural design is to build a structure, which is safe, fulfilling the intended
purpose during its estimated life, economical in terms of initial and maintenance cost, durable
and also maintaining a good aesthetic appearance. The construction of any building consists of
three phases: a) Design b) Drawing with proper detailing and c) construction as per drawing and
details. The design of structure consists of two parts. i) Analysis and ii) Design. At first the
preliminary size of various member for specific structure are fixed and the analysis is carried out.
With the result obtained from analysis, necessary design is carried out. After the completion of
the design, drawings are prepared with all necessary details. The presentation of the design
calculation and drawing should be clear. After completion of the office works which include
design and drawing, the construction of the building is carried out. The effort with which design
has been carried out becomes worthwhile only if the design is translated to a correspondingly
high quality structure.
Nepal lies in seismically active region in the boundary of the two colliding tectonic plates the
India plates and the Tibetan plates. Records of earthquake are available in Nepal since 1255AD.
Those records reveal that Nepal has hit by 18 major earthquakes, the 1833 and 1934 earthquakes
were the most destructive ones. And recently, 2015 Gorkha Earthquake is felt by us. However, it
would not be economically feasible to design the building so as to ensure that they remain elastic
and damage free because
the occurrence of maximum
earthquakes low say one in
75 years . Thus it is reliable
to design the ductile
structure and not to design
damage free structure but
non collapsible structure
for minimum destruction in
lives and properties. The
design should ensure the
structure against stability,
strength and serviceability
with acceptable levels of
seismic safety.
Thus the seismic design of
the building is done and the
brief report has been
prepared. All the design
data are considered in the
detail architectural and
structural drawing.
