INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The design and analysis of modern reinforced concrete structures may appear to be highly complex.
However, most of the structures are an assembly of several basic structural elements like slab, beam,
column, walls, foundation etc. Accordingly, the design and analysis of these structural elements is
significant and the joints and connections can then be developed.
The design of reinforced concrete structures started as a purely empirical approach. Thereafter, the
elastic theory proposed the stresses in concrete and steel to be limited and the stress deformations to be
linear. However, the limit-state method, though semi-empirical approach, has been found to be the best
method for the design of reinforced concrete structures.
Structures when subjected to external loads have internal reactions like bending moment, shear force,
axial thrust and torsion in individual members. As a result, the structure develops internal stresses and
undergoes deformations. We analyse the structure using elastic theory and design the section using the
concepts of limit state of collapse. In limit state of collapse, the strength and stability of the structure or
part of the structure is ensured.
In this project, we have used the software STAAD.Pro for the analysis of our structure and its structural
elements. We assume the dimensions of some elements like columns and beams and then feed it into
the STAAD.Pro model of the structure. On running the analysis, the total loads, bending moments and
the errors and warnings in the proposed structure is shown and accordingly we modify our structure till
we get a structure with no errors and which satisfies all the criteria of IS codes. A stable and safe
structure is finally obtained.

1.1 Problem definition/statement:
The dimension of rectangular plot area is 200ft. X 150ft. Overall plot area is 2787.09 sq. m. The side
measuring 200 ft. is parallel to North-South direction and other side is parallel to East-West direction.
The type of soil is Morum and bearing capacity is found to be 300 KN/m2.
Propose a plan for a G+3 multi-storied R.C.C hotel building. Plan, design and analyse the structural
elements like beams, columns, slabs, footings and staircases for the critical loads coming on them by
conventional method as well as using STAAD Pro software. Provide complete 2D and 3D images of
the proposed building along with the shear force, deflection & bending moment profiles and the
detailing of the structural elements.

1.2 Scope of the project:
Every structure has got its own form, function and aesthetics. Normally, we consider that the architect
will take care of it and the engineer will look after the safety and stability of the structure. However, a
unified approach of both will only result in an integrated structure, where every material of the total
structure takes part effectively for form, function, aesthetics, strength, safety and durability.

1.5 National Building Code:
National Building Code was prepared to unify the building regulations throughout the country to be
used by government departments, municipal bodies and other construction agencies. Indian Standards
Institution (Bureau of Indian Standards) was entrusted by the Planning Commission with preparation of
National Building Code. For fulfilling this task, a guiding committee for the preparation of the code
was set up by the Civil Engineering Division Council of the Indian Standards Institution in 1967.This
Committee in turn set up 18 specialist panels to prepare the various parts of the code. The guiding
committee and its panels were constituted with architects, planners, material experts, structural,
construction, electrical illumination, air conditioning, acoustics and public health engineers and town
planners. These experts were drawn from the central and state governments, local bodies, professional
institutions and private agencies. The first version of the code was published in 1970. Since the
publication in 1970 version of the National Building Code of India, a large number of comments and
useful suggestions for modifications and additions to different parts and sections of the code were
received as a result of use of the code by all concerned, and revision work of building by-laws of some
states. Based on the comments and suggestions received, the National Building Code of India 1970 was
revised in 1983.
The National Building Code of India is a single document in which, like a network, the information
contained in various Indian Standards is woven into a pattern of continuity and cogency with the
interdependent requirements of sections carefully analysed and fitted in to make the whole document a
cogent continuous volume.
The code contains regulations which can be immediately adopted or enacted for use by various
departments, municipal administrations and public bodies. It lays down a set of minimum provisions
designed to protect the safety of the public with regard to structural sufficiency, fire hazards and health
aspects of building. The code also covers aspects of administrative regulations, development control
rooms and general building requirements, fire protection requirements, stipulations regarding materials
and structural design, rooms for design of electrical installations, lighting, air conditioning and lifts,
regulations for ventilation, acoustics and plumbing services such as water supply, drainage, sanitation
and gas supply, measures to ensure safety of works and public during construction and rules for
erection of signs and outdoor display structures. Some other important points covered by the code
include „industrialised system of building‟ and „architectural control‟.

1.6 STAAD-Pro:
STAAD Pro is comprehensive structural engineering software that addresses all aspects of
structural engineering including model development, verification, analysis, design and review of
results. It includes advanced dynamic analysis and push over analysis for wind load and earthquake
load.
The commercial version STAAD.Pro is one of the most widely used structural analysis and
design software. It supports several steel, concrete and timber design codes. It can make use of
various forms of analysis from the traditional 1st order static analysis, geometric non-linear
analysis or buckling analysis. It can also make use of various forms of dynamic analysis from
modal extraction to time history and response spectrum analysis.
In STAAD Pro we can analyze the structures in 2D and 3D, for the convenience of modelling and
defining the structure for analysis, STAAD uses different templates for 2D and 3D structures. In
STAAD we use the following types of structures.
Space structures
Plane structures
Floor structures
Truss structures
Space structures consist of three dimensions and structure will have six degrees of freedom
(6D.O.F) i.e. three rotational and three translational.
The plane structures can be considered for any one plane. Forces are considered parallel to the
surface of plane or in the surface of the plane.
10
For the design of horizontal members like slabs, floors etc. the floor structure is used. It is a 2-D or
3-D structure in which horizontal movement cannot be considered.
STAAD Pro has got a versatile Graphical User Interface (GUI) integrated into the program for the
easy modelling, post analysis and print options. The interface is fully developed and well
documented; various editing commands are available within this GUI.

PLANNING

PLANNING
2.1 Introduction:
Planning is to try to direct development in predefined directions, to produce a city with desirable
or “good” characteristics. An inherent difficulty of planning, however, is that there is no clear-cut
way to define what good or desirable is, as this usually depends on the characteristics of the city,
as well as the viewpoint of evaluation and the underlying values. The first step of the planning
process is to define a set of planning goals (the general aims to be attained) and planning
objectives (specific strategies to achieve the goals) that in general can be refined after the actual
situation of the city has been analyzed.
The basic objective of planning of buildings is to arrange all the units of a building on all floors and at
level according to their functional requirements making best use of the space available for a building.
The shape of such a plan is governed by several factors such as climatic conditions, site location,
accommodation requirements, local bye-laws, surrounding environment etc. In spite of the certain
principles or factors, which govern the theory of planning, are common to all buildings of all classes
intended to be used for residential purposes. These principles are:
1. Aspect 7. Sanitation
2. Prospect 8. Flexibility
3. Privacy 9. Circulation
4. Grouping 10. Elegance
5. Roominess 11. Economy
6. Furniture requirement 12. Practical considerations
1. Aspect:
„Aspect‟ means peculiarity of the arrangement of doors and windows in the external walls of
a building which allows the occupants to enjoy the natural gifts such as sunshine, breeze, scenery etc. A
room which receives light and air from a particular side is said to have aspect of that direction; and all
such rooms making dwelling need particular aspect. From this angle, the following aspects for different
rooms are referred:
13
a) For kitchen: E-aspect
b) For dining room: S-aspect
c) For drawing and living rooms: S-aspect or S-E aspect
d) For bedrooms: S-W aspect or W-aspect
e) For verandahs: S-W aspect or W-aspect
f) For reading rooms, stores, classrooms, studios, stairs etc. : N-aspect
2. Prospect:
„Prospect‟ is the impressions that house is likely to make on a person who looks at it from
the outside. „Prospect‟ and „Aspect‟ both demand disposition of doors and windows. For sake of either
seeing or hiding certain views, window sites play a vital role.
3. Privacy:
„Privacy‟ is one of the important principles in the planning of building of all types in general
and residential buildings in particular. Privacy requires consideration in two ways:
(i) Privacy of one room from another
(ii) Privacy of all parts of a building from the neighbouring buildings, public streets and by-ways.
4. Grouping:
„Grouping‟ means the disposition of various rooms in the layout in a typical fashion so that
all the rooms are placed in proper correlation of their functions and in proximity with each other.
5. Roominess:
„Roominess‟ refers to the effect produced by deriving the maximum benefit from the
minimum dimensions of a room. In other words, it is the accomplishment of economy of space at the
same time avoiding cramping of the plan.
6. Furniture requirements:
The functional requirement of a room or an apartment governs the furniture requirements. In
case of residential buildings, a room whether intended for a bedroom or kitchen or drawing room, the
architect should take into account the furniture positions of all types likely to be accommodated so that
the doors, windows and circulation space do not prevent from placing of sufficient number of pieces.
14
7. Sanitation:
„Sanitation‟ consists of providing ample light, ventilation, facilities for cleaning and sanitary
conveniences. This has three primary aims. The first is to promote the work or other activities on within
the building; the second is to promote the safety of people using the building; and the third is to create
in conjunction with the structure and decoration, a pleasing environment conducive to interest and a
sense of well-being.
8. Flexibility:
„Flexibility‟ means planning a room or rooms in such a way which, though originally
designed for a specific purpose, may be used to serve other overlapping purposes also, as and when
desired.
9. Circulation:
„Circulation‟ means internal thorough fares or the movement space provided on the same
floor either between the rooms or within the rooms called „horizontal circulation‟ and between the
different floors through staircase or lifts called „vertical circulation‟.
10. Elegance:
„Elegance‟ is the effect produced by the elevation and general layout of the plan. The
elevation therefore should speak out the internal facts and be indicative of the character.
11. Economy:
The economy may not be a principle of planning but it is certainly a factor which effects
planning. The economy may restrict the liberties of the architect and may also require certain alterations
and omissions in the original plan.
15
(iii)It should be remembered that a building or a house is immovable property and is built to last for
several generations. One has, therefore, no right to practice false economy by erecting a weak structure.
(iv) While planning, it is necessary to keep provisions for either adding a wing or extending some part
of house without dismantling.
2. Kitchen located on the North-East end of the plan so that the eastern wall of the kitchen receives
sunlight.
4. Lift and staircase locations suited for easy approach of the visitors.
5. Non-A.C rooms located on the western and south-west side so that the rooms receive the south-
westerly winds in summer.
6. A.C rooms situated at the center of the building as the rooms are devoid of free flowing air which
adds to effective cooling of these rooms.
Height of building is related to FAR and provisions of open spaces. The height of the building is
generally limited on the basis of width of the street.
i) In the case of flat roofs from the average level of the front road and continuance to the highest point
of the building.
ii) In case of pitched roofs up to the point where the external surface of the outer wall intersects the
finished surface of the sloping roof and
16
iii) In the case of gables facing the road, the midpoint between the eaves level and the ridge.
Architectural features serving no other function except that of decoration shall be excluded for the
purpose of taking heights. The height of the building shall be taken up to the terrace level for the
purpose of fire safety requirement.
Height Exemptions:
2. Ventilating, air conditioning and lift rooms and similar service equipment‟s, stair covered with
mumty not exceeding 3.00 m in height.
3. Chimneys, parapet wall and architectural features not exceeding 1.50 m in height unless the
aggregate area of such structures exceeds 1/3 of the roof area of the building on which they are erected.
4. The plinth or any part of a building or outhouse shall be so located with respect to average road
level on from site so that adequate drainage of the site is assured but not at a height less than 45 cm.
“Floor Area Ratio (FAR)” - The quotient of the ratio of the combined covered area (plinth area)
of all floors, excepting areas specifically exempted under these regulations, to the total area of plot.
FAR values are specified in NBC for different occupancies and types of construction.
17
“Built up area”-The area of the apartment that includes the complete area covered within the four
walls of an apartment. In short it is the sum total of the carpet area and area of walls and ducts. The
terrace is estimated to be half the complete actual area while calculating the built up area. Built up area
is usually 10 per cent more than the carpet area.
“Open space” - An area forming an integral part of a site left open to the sky.
18
Front open space:
i. Minimum front open space is 6 m for a width of street (fronting the plot) more than 30 m.
ii. Front open space provided= 28 ft or 8.54 m
i. For 15 m height of the building, minimum side and rear open space is 5 m.
ii. Open space provided:
Side= 19 ft. or 5.8 m
Rear= 18 ft. or 5.5 m
2.5 ROOMS:
The National Building Code prescribes the following norms for the dimensions of rooms:
1. Single room:
Area=16.36 m2, width= 2.74 m
2. Double room:
19
2.6 Bathrooms and water closets:
A bathroom is a room for bathing which may contain a bathtub or a shower and a sink/hand
basin/wash basin . The design of a bathroom must account for the use of both hot and cold water, in
significant quantities, for cleaning the human body. Ceiling, wall and floor materials and coverings
should be impervious to water and readily and easily cleaned. The use of ceramic or glass, as well as
smooth plastic materials, is common in bathrooms for their ease of cleaning. Bathroom lighting should
be uniform, bright and must minimize glare.
A water closet refers to a room that has both a toilet and other plumbing fixtures such as a sink or a
bathtub. The water is also used for moving solid and liquid human waste to a sewer or septic tank.
Toilets in multi-story buildings, located on fire-resistance rated floors typically require at least
two through-penetrations, which can compromise the rating of the floor if left untreated. One opening is
for the fresh water supply to flush and/or fill the water tank. The other through-penetration is for the
drain-pipe.
As per National Building Code, the norms for the dimensions of bathrooms and water closets are:
2. Dimensions provided:
Area= 2.97 m2
Width= 1.22 m
Height= 2.6 m
20
2.7 Corridors, passages & doorways:
Exit corridors and passageways shall be of width not less than the aggregate required width of exit
doorways leading from them in the direction of travel to the exterior. Where stairways discharge
through corridors and passageways, the height of corridors and passageways shall be not less than
2.4m. All means of exit, including staircases, lifts lobbies and corridors, shall be adequately ventilated.
Every exit doorway shall open into an enclosed stairway or a horizontal exit of a corridor or
passageway providing continuous and protected means of egress. No exit doorway shall be less
than1000mm in width except assembly buildings where door width shall be not less than 2000mm.
Doorways shall be not less than 2000mm in height.
Exit doorways shall open outwards, i.e., away from the room, but shall not obstruct the travel along any
exit. No door, when opened, shall reduce the required width of stairway of landing to less than 900mm.
Overhead or sliding doors shall not be installed. In the case of buildings where there is a central
corridor, the doors of rooms shall open inwards to permit smooth flow of traffic in the corridor. Exit
door shall not open immediately upon a flight of stairs.
The width of a door (or doorway) is the clear width when the door is fully opened (up to 90 o). For
determining minimum door width, the door leaf width shall be used unless clear width is specified.
The following are the norms for corridors, passages and doorways according to National Building Code
2005:
21
(a) Minimum clear width of door (b) Minimum clear width (door) with
permitted obstructions
Fig.3
2.8 Exits
Exits shall be either horizontal or vertical type. An exit may be doorway, corridor and passage to an
internal staircase or external staircase, ramp or to a veranda and/or terraces that have access to the street
or to roof of a building. Lifts, escalators and revolving doors shall not be considered as exits.
Travel distance is measured by way of the shortest route. If there is fixed seating or other fixed
obstructions, it should be along the centre line of the seat ways and gangways. If it includes a stair, it
should be along the pitch line on the centre line of travel. Whenever more than one exit is required for
any room, space or floor of a building, exits shall be placed as remote from each other as possible and
shall be arranged to provide direct access in separate directions from any point in the area served.
The unit of the exit width, used to measure the capacity of any exits shall be 500mm. A clear width of
250mm shall be counted as an additional half unit. Clear widths less than 250 mm shall not be counted
for exit width. The total occupants from a particular floor must evacuate within for 2.5 minutes for
22
Type-I construction, 1.5 minutes for Type-2 construction and 1min for Type-3 construction. Size of the
exit door/exit-way shall be calculated accordingly keeping in view the travel distance.
Minimum width
Maximum no. of persons
(in mm)
50 750
110 850
220 1050
More than 220 5 per person
Arrangement of Exits:

residential, educational, institutional and hazardous occupancies and 30 m for assembly, business,
mercantile, industrial and storage occupancies.
2. All the exits shall be accessible from the entire floor area at all floor levels.
Provided dimensions:
24
2.10 LIGHTING OF ROOMS:
Lighting promotes work, activities and the safety of the people using the building. Rooms should have,
for the admission of light and air, one or more apertures, such as windows, opening directly to external
air or into an open verandah or gallery. The area of window openings, exclusive of doors and inclusive
of frames is specified as below:
(a) 1/10th of the floor area for dry hot climate, and
(b) 1/6th of the floor area for wet hot climate
The aggregate area of door and window shall not be less than 1/7th of the room area. No portion of a
room shall be assumed to be lighted if it is more than 7.50 m from the opening assumed for lighting that
portion. Artificial lighting may have to be provided to obtain the recommended illumination levels.
Ventilating is the process of changing or replacing air in any space to provide high indoor air
quality (i.e. to control temperature, replenish oxygen, or remove moisture, odours, smoke, heat, dust,
airborne bacteria, and carbon dioxide). Ventilation is used to remove unpleasant smells and excessive
moisture, introduce outside air, to keep interior building air circulating, and to prevent stagnation of the
interior air. Ventilation includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air
within the building. It is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality
in buildings.
Methods for ventilating a building may be divided into mechanical/forced and natural types:
“Mechanical” or “forced” ventilation is used to control indoor air quality. Excess humidity,
odours, and contaminants can often be controlled via dilution or replacement with outside air.
However, in humid climates much energy is required to remove excess moisture from ventilation
air. Kitchens and bathrooms typically have mechanical exhaust to control odours and sometimes
humidity. Kitchens have additional problems to deal with such as smoke and grease.
25
“Natural ventilation” is the ventilation of a building with outside air without the use of a fan or other
mechanical system. It can be achieved with openable windows or trickle vents when the spaces to
ventilate are small and the architecture permits. In more complex systems warm air in the building can
be allowed to rise and flow out upper openings to the outside (stack effect) thus forcing cool outside air
to be drawn into the building naturally through openings in the lower areas.
According to National Building Code 2005, the norms for ventilation of rooms are:
1. At least 0.3 m2 in area near the top of each of two of the walls of a room and these ventilators
preferably placed opposite to each other, for thorough ventilation.
2. Generally, the aggregate area of such ventilators is provided at the rate of 0.1 m2 for every 10
cubic meters of space of such rooms.
Ventilation Shaft:
1. For ventilating the spaces for water closets and bathroom, if not opening on the front side, rear
and interior open spaces, shall open on the ventilation shaft, the size, of which shall not be less than 2.8
m2 with minimum one dimension of the shaft as 1.2 m.
2. For buildings of height above 30 m, mechanical ventilation system shall be installed besides the
minimum ventilation shaft.
„Chhajja‟ is a sloping or horizontal structure over hanged usually provided over openings on external
walls to provide protection from sun and rain.
26
The following projections from the face of a building, having no significant impact on building bulk,
need not be counted for site coverage and plot ratio.
(a) Pitched roof eaves and flat roof overhangs (provided these are not contained within parapet walls as
part of an accessible flat roof).
(b) Individual air-conditioner boxes and platforms of reasonable size and projecting not more than
750mm, which have a built-in system for condensate disposal.
(c) Window hoods and porches having projection not exceeding 2m.
(d) Window sills and window surrounds projecting not more than 100 mm.
(e) String courses, fins and architectural mouldings (but not structural beams and columns).
(f) Window flower boxes projecting not more than 500mm in width.
(g) External drainage pipes and gutters.
(h) Sunshades solely used for the purpose of energy conservation projecting not more than 1.5m from
the external wall.
(i) Canopies projecting not more than 2m over an entrance to a building.
(k) Drying racks projecting not more than 750mm.
The norms for projections into open spaces as per National Building Code 2005 are:
1. Every interior or exterior open space shall be kept free from any erection thereon and shall be
open to the sky.
2. Nothing except Chhajja or weather shade (not more than 0.75 m wide) shall overhang or project
over the said open spaces so as to reduce the width to less than the minimum required.
3. Such projections shall not be allowed at a height less than 2.20 m from the corresponding finished
floor level
4. In case of residential building, a balcony or balconies at roof level with a width of 1.20 m
overhanging in setbacks within one‟s own land and courtyards provided the minimum area required
shall not be reduced by more than 30% of such open spaces.
Projection provided:
Balcony of the rooms= 3 ft. or 0.9 m
Other projections = 2 ft. or 0.6 m
27
2.13 BASEMENT:
„Basement‟ is the lower storey of a building below or partly below ground level. Any area of the
building having its floor sub grade below ground level on all sides is the basement. The basement must
be above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE).
If the water table outside the basement is above the height of the basement floor, then the foundation
drains or the weeping tiles outside the footings may be insufficient to keep the basement dry. A sump
pump may be required. It can be located anywhere and is simply in a well that is deeper than the
basement floor. Even with functioning sump pumps or low water tables, basements may become wet
after rainfall, due to improper drainage. The ground next to the basement must be graded such that
water flows away from the basement wall. Damp-proofing or waterproofing materials are typically
applied to outside of the basement wall.
Where drainage is inadequate, waterproofing may be needed. There are numerous ways to
waterproof a basement, but most systems fall into one of three categories:
1. Tanking – Systems that bond to the basement structure and physically hold back
groundwater.
2. Cavity Drainage – Dimpled plastic membranes are used to line the floors and walls of the
basement, creating a "drained cavity." Any water entering this drained cavity is diverted to a
sump pump and pumped away from the basement.
3. Exterior Foundation Drain – Installing an exterior foundation drain that will drain away by
gravity is the most effective means to waterproof a basement. An exterior system allows water
to flow away from the basement without using pumps or electricity. An exterior drain also
allows for the installation of a waterproof membrane to the foundation walls.
1. Every basement shall be in every part at least 2.5 m in height from the floor to underside of the
roof slab or ceiling and with maximum height not more than 4.5 m.
2. Any deficiency may be met by providing adequate mechanical ventilation in the form of
blowers, exhaust fans (one exhaust fan for 50 m2 basement area), etc.
28
3. The minimum height of the ceiling of any basement shall be 0.9 m and maximum height shall
be 1.2 m above the average road level on the front side of the building.

3.6.1 Slabs:
Introduction:
Slabs, used in floors and roofs of buildings mostly integrated with the supporting beams, carry the
distributed loads primarily by bending. These slabs are either single span or continuous having
different support conditions like fixed, hinged or free along the edges. Based on aspect ratio (l /l )
y x
the slabs are of two types, namely one way and two way slabs.
46
Fig.20. (a) one way slab(ly/lx>2)
Figures a and b explain the share of loads on beams supporting solid slabs along four edges when
vertical loads are uniformly distributed. It is evident from the figures that the share of loads on
beams in two perpendicular directions depends upon the aspect ratio l /l of the slab, l being the
y x x
shorter span. For large values of l , the triangular area is much less than the trapezoidal area (Fig-
y
a). Hence, the share of loads on beams along shorter span will gradually reduce with increasing
ratio of l /l . In such cases, it may be said that the loads are primarily taken by beams along longer
y x
span. The deflection profiles of the slab along both directions are also shown in the figure. The
deflection profile is found to be constant along the longer span except near the edges for the slab
panel of Fig-a. These slabs are designated as one-way slabs as they span in one direction (shorter
one) only for a large part of the slab when l /l > 2.
y x
47
On the other hand, for square slabs of l /l = 1 and rectangular slabs of l /l up to 2, the deflection
y x y x
profiles in the two directions are parabolic (Fig-b). Thus, they are spanning in two directions and
these slabs with l /l up to 2 are designated as two-way slabs, when supported on all edges.
y x
It would be noted that an entirely one-way slab would need lack of support on short edges. Also,
even for l /l < 2, absence of supports in two parallel edges will render the slab one-way. In Fig.
y x
8.18.4b, the separating line at 45 degree is tentative serving purpose of design. Actually, this angle
is a function of l /l .
y x
Two-way slabs subjected mostly to uniformly distributed loads resist them primarily by bending
about both the axis. However, as in the one-way slab, the depth of the two-way slabs should also
be checked for the shear stresses to avoid any reinforcement for shear. Moreover, these slabs
should have sufficient depth for the control deflection. Thus, strength and deflection are the
requirements of design of two-way slabs.
Design Considerations
The primary design considerations of two-way slabs are as follows:
(a) Effective span: The effective span of a slab depends on the boundary condition. The
guidelines stipulated in cl.22.2 of IS 456 to determine the effective span of a slab.
(b) Nominal cover: The nominal cover to be provided depends upon durability and fire resistance
requirements. Table 16 and 16A of IS 456 provide the respective values. Appropriate value of the
nominal cover is to be provided from these tables for the particular requirement of the structure.
(c) Minimum reinforcement: Both for one and two-way slabs, the amount of minimum
reinforcement in either direction shall not be less than 0.15 and 0.12 per cents of the total cross-
sectional area for mild steel (Fe 250) and high strength deformed bars (Fe 415 and Fe 500)/welded
wire fabric, respectively.
(d) Maximum diameter of reinforcing bars: The maximum diameter of reinforcing bars of one
and two-way slabs shall not exceed one-eighth of the total depth of the slab.
In the structure which is planned under this project has slabs excluding the grid slab. All the above
mentioned slabs have the ly/lx(aspect ratio) <2. Hence all the slabs are two way slabs. Design of
two critical slabs is done.
48
3.6.2 Grid slab:
Introduction:
Grid or coffered slab consisting of beams spaced at regular intervals in perpendicular directions,
monolithic with a slab are generally employed for architectural reasons for large rooms such as
auditoriums, theatre halls, conference halls, show rooms and shops where column free space is
often the main requirement.
The rectangular or square voids formed in the ceiling are advantageously utilized for concealed
architectural lighting. The size of the beams running in perpendicular directions is generally kept
the same. Instead of rectangular beam grid, a diagonal grid can also be used with the beams
inclined at 45o to the sides. The different types of grid slabs which are commonly used are shown
in figure-1
According to Indian Standard Code: IS 456-2000 the ribbed slab system can be analyzed as a solid
slab, if the following requirements regarding spacing of beams, thickness of slab and edge beams
are satisfied
1. The spacing of the ribs shouldn‟t be greater than 1.5m and it shouldn‟t be greater than 12 times
the flange thickness
2. In situ ribs shouldn‟t be less than 65mm
3. The ribs should be formed along each edge parallel to the span, having a width equal to that of
bearing.

DESIGN
4.1 Methods of design:
Limit state method is one of the three methods of design as per IS 456:2000. Considering rapid
development in concrete technology and simultaneous development in handling problems of
uncertainties, the limit state method is a superior method where certain aspects of reality can
be explained in a better manner. Limit states are the acceptable limits for the safety and
serviceability requirements of the structure before failure occurs. The design of structures by
this method will thus ensure that they will not reach limit states and will not become unfit for
the use for which they are intended. It is worth mentioning that structures will not just fail or
collapse by violating (exceeding) the limit states. Failure, therefore, implies that clearly
defined limit states of structural usefulness has been exceeded.
51
4.2 Design of Slabs:
Step 1: Selection of preliminary depth of slab: The depth of the slab shall be assumed from the
span to effective depth ratios.
Step 2: Design loads, bending moments and shear forces : The total factored (design) loads are
to be determined adding the estimated dead load of the slab, load of the floor finish, given or
assumed live loads etc.
Live load=4KN/m2
Finishing=1KN/m2
Dead Load= 25*.150=3.75KN/m2
Hence, total load on slab, W=8.75KN/m2
Thereafter, the Bending moments per unit width in a slab are determined from the given formulas:
Mx= αxWlx2 (.1)
My =αyWly2 (.2)
Where αx & αv are coefficients given in Table 26 of IS 456, Annex D, cl. D-1.1, found using the
aspect ratio l /l and type of panel.
y x
52
Step 3: Check for depth: safety of the assumed depth can be checked by employing the following
equations
Mx or My = 0.36fck bxm(d-(0.42xm )) (.3)
fy(MPa) Xm
250 .53d
415 .48d
500 .46d
The required slab thickness (dx and dy) for the moments obtained are tabulated below
The values obtained from calculations the lesser than the assumed slab depth. Hence slab is safe.
Step 4: Determination of areas of steel: Area of steel reinforcement along the direction of two-
way slab should be determined employing the following equation
Mu = 0.87 fy Ast d (1-(Ast)(fy)/(fck)(b d)) (.4)
Step 5: Selection of diameters and spacing of reinforcing bars: The diameter and spacing of
bars are to be determined as per cls.26.5.2.2 and 26.3.3 of IS 456.
The following table shows the area of steel required and spacing to be provided in different slabs.
Diameter of steel bars used is 12mm.

Design of Foundations:
Introduction
Foundation is sub-structure, below the ground level which effectively supports the superstructure.
The elements of the superstructure transfer the loads and moments to its adjacent element below it
and finally all loads and moments come to the foundation structure, which in turn, transfers them
to the underlying soil or rock. However, all types of soil get compressed significantly and cause
the structure to settle. Accordingly, the major requirements of the design of foundation structures
are the two as given below:
1. Foundation structures should be able to sustain the applied loads, moments, forces and induced
reactions without exceeding the safe bearing capacity of the soil.
66
2. The settlement of the structure should be as uniform as possible and it should be within the
tolerable limits. It is well known from the structural analysis that differential settlement of supports
causes additional moments in statically indeterminate structures. Therefore, avoiding the
differential settlement is considered as more important than maintaining uniform overall settlement
of the structure.
(i) Shallow foundations: Shallow foundations are used when the soil has sufficient strength
within a short depth below the ground level.
(ii) Deep foundations: For poor condition of soil near to the surface, the bearing capacity is very
less and foundation needed in such situation is the pile foundation.
First point is to take care of structural aspect and the other two points to take care of SBC of soil.
Inadequate design will lead to the failure of the whole structure, regardless of the structural
strength of the super structure. In this project work, footings are designed as isolated rectangular
footings. The SBC of the soil in plot is found to be 300 kN/m2 . One typical design of footing is
presented.
While designing a foundation the following points must be considered in mind. When a soil is
yielding soil a certain amount of settlement of the foundation is sure to occur. It is necessary that
the settlement must be reduced as much as possible by bringing down the pressure intensity. It is
necessary that a foundation shall be designed so that if at all a settlement should occur it would be
uniform. In other words, the settlement of all the footing must be more or less the same. This is a
very important point in reinforced concrete structures due to the rigid connections between the
components of the structure.
Design Considerations:
(a) Minimum nominal cover: Clause 26.4.2.2 of IS 456 prescribes a minimum cover of 50 mm
for footings. However, the actual cover may be even more depending on the presence of harmful
chemicals or minerals, water table etc.
67
(b) Bending moments: Bending moment at several sections of the footing depending on the type
of footing, nature of loads and the distribution of pressure at the base of the footing has to be
determined. The critical section of maximum bending moment for the purpose of designing an
isolated concrete footing which supports a column, pedestal or wall shall be:
(a) At the face of the column, pedestal or wall for footing supporting a concrete column, pedestal
or reinforced concrete wall.
(b) Halfway between the centre-line and the edge of the wall, for footing under masonry wall .This
is stipulated in cl.34.2.3.2 of IS 456.

Reinforcement in the central band = {2/(β+1)} (Total reinforcement in the short direction) where β
is the ratio of longer dimension to shorter dimension of the footing slab.
Each of the two end bands shall be provided with half of the remaining reinforcement, distributed
uniformly across the respective end band.

So, Ast1-1= 7087.07 mm2
τ v2-2=1.5F4-4/Bd2 = 0.3927 N/mm2
70
ρst2-2=100Ast2-2/BD = 0.276 %
From Table 19 of IS 456, τ cmin = 0.3725 N/mm2
Since τ v2-2 < τ cmin , It is Safe.
.
Shear in two-way:
Critical section is at the d/2 from the face of the column,
F=P0 [LB - (h+d1) (b+d2)]
= 2148.988 KN
Area of punching A=2D (b+h+d1+d2) = 2762720 mm2
τp= (2148.988 X 103)/2762720 = 0.7778 Mpa
τallow = Ksτc=(0.5+(300/600)) X 0.25√20

Types of staircases: Some of the common types of staircases based on geometrical configurations
are as follows:
3. Open-well staircase
78
4. Spiral staircase
(b) Nosing: in some cases, the tread is projected outward to increase the space. This projection is
designated as nosing.
(c) Riser: The vertical distance between two successive steps is termed as riser. The dimension of
the riser ranges from 150 mm for public buildings to 190 mm for residential buildings and
factories.
(d) Waist: The thickness of the waist-slab on which steps are made is known as waist. The depth
(thickness) of the waist is the minimum thickness perpendicular to the soffit of the staircase. The
steps of the staircase resting on waist-slab can be made of bricks or concrete.
(e) Going: Going is the horizontal projection between the first and the last riser of an inclined
flight.
79
General Guidelines
The following are some of the general guidelines to be considered while planning a staircase:
1. The respective dimensions of tread and riser for all the parallel steps should be the same in
consecutive floor of a building.
2. The minimum vertical headroom above any step should be 2 m.
3. Generally, the number of risers in a flight should be restricted to twelve.
4. The minimum width of stair should be 850 mm, though it is desirable to have the width
between 1.1 to 1.6 m. In public building, cinema halls etc., large widths of the stair should be
provided.
Design of staircase:
Headroom = 3 m
Then, total number of treads will be number of riser minus one i.e. 12-1 = 11 nos.

Ast=3685.53mm2
Hence provide 10 22mm υ bars in two layers of 5 each spaced at 200mm centre to centre

CONCLUSION
86
CONCLUSION
Industrialisation and urbanisation have led to the evolution of modern tall buildings for residential and
commercial purposes. Significant advances in the design and construction of high-rise buildings have
occurred in recent years. This has been possible on account of developments in the use of new materials,
construction techniques or forms of service. Loading on tall buildings is different from low-rise
buildings in many ways such as large accumulation of gravity loads on the floors from top to bottom,
increased significance of wind loading and greater importance of dynamic effects. Thus, multi-storeyed
structures need correct assessment of loads for safe and economical design.
In this project, we have planned a multi-storied hotel as per the norms of National Building Code 2005.
The general aspects of a building were also taken into consideration according to sun diagram to the
maximum extent possible. The analysis of loads coming on each column was carried out using the
software STAAD.Pro. The bending moments of each and every span were also found using
STAAD.Pro. The design of all the structural elements, i.e. slabs, columns, beams, staircases, footing,
grid slab and ramp were done manually taking the results obtained from analysis as design loads and
moments. The design of grid slab is the hallmark of this project. Therefore, this project enabled us to
apply our gained knowledge and solve practical engineering problems.
No person shall erect, re-erect or make additions alterations in any building or cause the same to be done
without obtaining a separate building permit for each such building from the competent Authority. The
concerned Authority may either sanction or refuse sanction to the plans and specifications or may
sanction them with such modification or directions as it may deem necessary and there upon shall
communicate its decision to the person giving a notice. The Authority reserves rights on taking actions,
if found to have deviated from the aesthetic and conduct and supervision of the construction against the
building Bye-Laws and the sanctioned building plans. In case of unauthorized development, the
Authority may demolish unauthorized works, sealing of premises, prosecution and criminal proceeding
against the offender in pursuance of relevant laws in force. To avoid problems, civil engineers are
required to plan, analyse and design safe structures for safe living and socialising, which is made easier
with the help of software like STAAD.Pro and codes provided by the council.
