HIGH RISE BUILDINGS

UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF

PROF. B.V. SARMA

ABSTRACT

As the population is increasing, the available

land for housing is decreasing to have
individual dwelling units. So the High Rise
Buildings is the best option to overcome this
situation.

OBJECTIVE
As the increasing population results in the
requirement of more land at higher cost which
restricts horizontal growth of construction
industry. High rise buildings allows
accommodating more number of people in
limited space to vertical growth.

Requirements
Building plan
Knowledge on types of loads to be considered in
designing and their distribution.
Knowledge on analyzing methods.
Knowledge on designing
Knowledge on code books to be used.

Loads to be considered
Gravity loads
Wind forces or earth quake forces

SUNKEN SLAB
Sunken slabs are used in the toilets, bathrooms and
washing place where we have our washing machines.
The purpose of having a sunken slab is to conceal all
the pipes below the floor. Since the pipes that carry
water are concealed below the floor, care has to be
taken to avoid leakage problems.

Assuming 120 mm slab thickness

Dead load = 0.12 x 1 x 1x 25
= 3 kN / m2
Floor finish = 1 kN / m2
= 4 kN / m2
live load = 3 kN / m2

PRELIMINARY COLUMN DESIGN

FOR DEAD LOAD
FOR BEAM AB :
Total Load

= area of loaded portion x load intensity

= 2( X 5.41 X 2.705 X 4 )
= 58.536 kN
Load on column = 58.536 / 2
= 29.268 kN
Similarly

= DL + LL
= 6626.38 +4942.64
= 11569.02 kN
Assuming fck = 30 N/mm2
fy = 415 N/mm2 and Ast = 1%
Pu = 0.4 fck Ag + 0.67 fy Ast
1.5 x 11569.02 x 103 = 0.4 x 30 x Ag + 0.67 x 415 x 0.01Ag
Ag = 1183733 mm2
Assuming 750 mm width
Depth of the column = 1183733 / 750
= 1578 mm
Provide 750 x 1800 mm column

Yet to design
Have to analyze and design structure for wind
and earthquake forces
Wind pressure calculations by using IS 875
(part 3)
Wind analysis by using portal or cantilever
method.
Earthquake resistant analysis and design by
using IS 1893 and IS 13920

CONCLUSION
We learnt distribution of loads on slab to
beam and then to column.
From preliminary analysis and design, we got
the approximate size of column as 750 x
1000mm.
