INTRODUCTION
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.
11. As per IS 1893(Part 1):2002, the seismic zoning of Nepal can be taken as ZONE IV and ZONE
V , most severe zone of India. For our case, we take the site lies on Zone V. Hence the building is
designed with great consideration towards earthquake resistant practices.
12. All dimensions are in mm, unless specified otherwise
be assumed in the design of buildings and same is given in the-form of unit weight of
materials. The unit weight of other materials that are likely to be stored in a building should be
also included for the purpose of load calculations due to stored materials. These loads are
calculated as specified in IS875-1987(part I)
1.5.2 Live Load : The load assumed to be produced by the intended use or occupancy of a building,
including the weight of movable partitions, distributed, concentrated loads, load due to impact and
vibration, and dust load but excluding wind, seismic, snow and other loads due to temperature changes,
creep, shrinkage, differential settlement, etc. This analysis covers imposed loads*(live loads) to be
assumed in the design of buildings. The imposed loads, used in this building analysis, are minimum
loads which should be taken into consideration for the purpose of structural safety of buildings. These
Page 2 of 34
1.5.3 Seismic Load: The force on a structure caused by acceleration induced on its mass by an
earthquake. This load is included in design to determine the extent of seismic reinforcing. The
seismic loads on the structure during an earthquake result from inertia forces which were created by
ground accelerations. The magnitude of these loads is a function of the following factors: mass of
the building, the dynamic properties of the building, the intensity, duration, and frequency content
of the ground motion, and soil-structure interaction. The analysis method and earthquake loads

are adopted considering the economy. Square column section is adopted in this building project as
per the internal aesthetic requirements.
2.2.4 Staircase
Stairs is designed as per drawing. Coolum for stairs boxes is not included in the grid
system but they are assumed to be simply tied with main frame with beam.

Loads
The following considerations are made for the assignment of loads on the structural model:
The loads distributed over the area are imposed on area element and that distributed over length are
imposed on line element whenever possible.
Where such loading is not applicable, equivalent conversion to different loading distribution is carried
to load the model near the real case as far as possible.
The imposed loading of infill walls are considered(as per architectural drwg.) as equivalent UDL with
25% to 30% deductions for openings, but the actual modelling of infill walls as equivalent Struts are
not performed. Hence the stiffness of infill walls are not considered.
Page 5 of 34
The Plinth Tie Beams are designed as purely tie members for lateral loads only, not designed as
flexural members as floor beams.
For simplicity of Structural analysis, Modelling of stair case is not performed & no landing beam is
considered. The DL & LL load of stair case is transferred to the floor beam as equivalent UDL.

SLAB DESIGN
4.1 General
Slabs are plate elements forming floors and roofs of buildings and carrying distributed
loads primarily by flexure. A staircase can be considered to be an inclined slab. They
may be supported on walls or beams or in the columns. The beam supporting the slabs
are considered stiff and do have deflections relative small as that compared to the slabs.
The slabs supported on the wall or beams are called edge supported slab.
4.1.1 Types of Slab
Slabs are classified according to the manner of the support
a) One-way Slab spanning in one direction
b) Two-way slab spanning in two direction
c) Circular slab
d) Flat slab
e) Ribbed slab
Two-way slabs are analysed and designed for this building
4.1.2 Methodology of slab design
Important information regarding the design of slab according to IS456:2000
1. Slab is designed for 1m wide strip
2. Temperature reinforcement (Ast min) = 0.12% bD for deformed bars along the
transverse direction to the main bars (Cl.26.5.2.1)
3. Cover minimum = 25mm
4. If Ly/Lx < 2, two way slab is designed

5. FOUNDATION DESIGN
5.1 General
Foundation are the structural element that transfer the loads from the building or
individual columns to the earth. The scope of foundation design is to consider the
excessive settlement, rotation, differential settlement and safety against sliding
/overturning of foundation.
5.1.1
Types of Footings
a) Isolated Footing: used for single column and may have square rectangular or circular
shapes
b) Strip Footing: Wall footing
c) Combined footing: supports two or more columns
d) Raft/Mat foundation: Support all columns. Used when soil bearing capacity is low
and sum of individual footing area is more than 50% of plinth area.
e) Pile/Well foundations: minimum three piles are capped to support the structures.
Well foundations are used in bridge foundations.
Selection of footings is made from experience but for economical foundations following
factors governs the major.
- Bearing capacity of soil and N-values of SPT
- Permissible differential settlement
- Soil strata
- Type of structures and loadings on them
Here the type of footing adopted is an isolated footing of size .
Here the safe bearing capacity is taken on the basis of categorization of site soil and
peripheral geographical/hydrological features. Experiences with similar soil type and location
as the determination of proper value is out of the scope of this report. The design parameters
are shown in below and corresponding drawing are also attached in structural drawing section
of the architectural report.

CONCLUSION
The purpose of this building is mainly residential as well as small scale of commercial with
limited resources. Hence due to high cost of soil investigation actual borehole site
exploration and the determination of bearing capacity of soil is omitted and adopted with
the experience and visual inspection of site and local possibilities. The frame system
analysis is made with an well powered software ETABS V17.Attempts are made to
economise and simplified the construction ensuring earthquake safety and adopting
common materials, common sections, and schedules. Design process is interactive process
of selecting frames and checking for loads considered. Final safe checked and passed
model with possible minimum sizes of frame members and minimum reinforcement is
adopted. However this design is safe against earthquake no doubly, however more iteration
are avoided in selection of members which make a little costly but not more than 10%.

Foundations and Slabs are designed manually with the help of excel- design templates
made on the basis of IS 456:2000.Client is suggested to employ supervisor in the
construction periods to ensure the quality control of works/materials within a limit. All
necessary calculations; analysis results and design outputs are presented in annexes as a
Adarsha.pdf version of soft copy file.
