Introduction Our case study is a two storey bungalow corner house. It is located at 8, Jalan Pulau Angsa U10/5A, Puncak Perdana, 40150, Shah Alam. This bungalow sits at the end of one road; right beside it is a numerous forest which provides good scenery. It is corner house and has own garden area around existing building. This potential really benefits us to extend the existing structure. A documentation of drawings are done to identify the structural elements of the building and after that, we are to propose a renovation idea individually. After designing a renovated space with appropriate structural elements, the load acting on the structure must be identified. An analysis of the beams load distribution, bending moment and shear force will be carried out along with the columns load distribution. Design Brief The proposed extension area must not exceed 100m per floor and 30% of the total area of the house. The extension must also be sideways and of two-storey in height. Taking a fellow course mate as a client, the extension includes a music room on the ground floor as they are an avid follower of music. There is a gym adjacent to the room to promote exercise in the convenience of their own home. The gym has a glass faade to get a good view of the garden. This faade is shaded by the balcony on the first floor. On the first floor, a dedicated multipurpose studio is designed right before a store room to enable easy storage of supplies and keep the room looking neat as the course mate is an architecture student. A balcony is connected to the studio to allow fresh air and daylight into the room.

= 8.55 kN/m Dead load of brick wall from first floor level = 8.55 kN/m x ( 3.1 + 0.7)m = 32.49 kN Dead load of brick wall from ground floor level = 8.55 kN/m x ( 3.1 + 2.4 )m = 47.02 kN Total dead load = 7.44 kN + 5.21 kN + 32.49 kN + 9.9 kN + 6.84 kN + 9.9 kN + 26.78 kN + 47.02 kN = 145.58 kN
Slab ( Live load )
Live load from roof = 0.5 kN/m 2 x 3.1 m x 2.4 m
= 3.72 kN 1| P a g e
Live load from first floor slab = 2.0 kN/m 2 x 3.1 m x 0.7 m = 4.34 kN Live load from ground floor slab = 1.5 kN/m 2 x Area = 1.5 kN/m 2 x 3.1 m x 2.4 m = 11.16 kN Total live load = 3.72 kN + 4.34 kN + 11.16 kN = 19.22 kN Ultimate load on column ( 1.4 x 145.58 kN ) + ( 1.6 x 19.22 kN ) = 234.56 kN Column size estimation Assuming Fcu = 30 N/mm 2
Fy (mild steel) = 250 N/mm 2
Ac = ( 150 x 150 )mm 2 = 22500 mm 2
Asc = 22500 mm 2 x 2% = 450 mm 2 F = ( 0.4 x Fcu x Ac ) + ( 0.8 x Asc x Fy ) N = ( 0.4 x 30 x 22500 ) + ( 0.8 x 450 x 250 ) N = 360 kN Therefore, this column can sustains a load of 234.56 kN
