Preface
This lab handout is intended to give an overview of a Multi storied Building and a
Balanced Cantilever Bridge structural analysis and design. It concentrates on the gravity loading
only. This handout provides a basic guideline for analysis, design and detailing works as well as
reviewing a standard code of practice. To provide the undergraduate students a well-organized,
user-friendly, and easy-to-follow resource, this handout is divided into two major parts. The first
part mainly focuses on the structural analysis and design of Reinforced concrete (RC)
Multistoried Building that includes design of Slab, Beam, Column, Stair, Water reservoir and
Lateral load analysis. The other part deals with the Balanced Cantilever Bridge including an
introduction to Bridge Engineering, details about Balanced Cantilever Bridge, design of Deck
Slab, design of Railing, Post and Curb/Sidewalk, design of Interior Girder considering dead and
live loads only, design of Exterior Girder considering dead and live loads only, design of
Diaphram or Cross Girder and Design of Articulation. Handouts of Dr. Khan Mahmud Amanat,
and Mr. Ruhul Amin, of BUET were helpful as well as suggestions from some faculty members
of the Department of Civil Engineering, AUST.

Part I:Structural Analysis and Design of the Multistoried building
Introduction
Generally the design of any structure (building, bridge etc) can be dividing in two segments,
Foundation design (footing, basement, retaining wall, abutment, underground water

reservoir etc)
Design of superstructure (beam, column, slab, girder, stair etc)
Figure 1: Super structural elements
Page | 5

Figure 2: Foundation elements
Page | 6

Figure 3: Gravity load distribution
Page | 7

Foundation design: it can also be dividing in two parts,
Determination of soil load bearing capacity, soil stability and the lateral forces introduce
by soil.
The structural design of the elements beneath GL.
# Note: the B.C. of soil and the other parameters like atterberg limit, angle of internal friction,
consolidation can be taken direct from soil report but a general cross check between the relations
among the parameters are required.
Steps of design
Specified the type of structural system like RCC or Steel or Composite, beam supported
or flat plate or braced etc.
Specified the loads considering the type of services like residential or commercial or
institutional etc based on associate codes and judgments.
Prepare a preliminary model of the structure with preliminary sections based on the
judgment.
Analysis the model for desired load combinations according to BNBC in the context of
Bangladesh,

IV. 0.75{1.4DL+1.7LL1.7(Wx or Wy)} ~ 1.05DL+1.275LL+1.275(Wx or Wy)
Design the structural elements separately by considering their integrity and construction

So, all the reinforcement will be controlled by As min.
Use 10mm @ 8 in c/c ckd and 1-10mm as extratop.
Top Slab:
For top slab there is no water load and some life load which is negligible. As the bottom slab is
controlled by 4.5" thickness and Asmin, so will be the top slab.

Figure 23: Minimum spacing between reinforcement bars
Page | 41

The distance between reinforcement bars must be such to allow the largest expected concrete
size gravel to pass between them. In order to have properly anchored reinforcement, it is
mandatory for rebars to be surrounded by concrete.
The minimum spacing between two reinforcement bars should be at least equal to the maximum
coarse aggregate dimension plus a margin of 5 mm.
Tie bar
bars are used.
Longitudinal Spacing
16 dbof main bar = 16*20/25.4 = 12"
48 dbof tie bar = 48*10/25.4 = 18"
Least dimension = 15"
So, spacing at top and bottom 12/2 = 6" c/c and at middle span 12" c/c.
Figure 24: Failure mechanism of a column
A column with 10% fewer rebars has around 10% lower capacity strength. However, if we
remove even a single intermediate stirrup, the capacity strength of that same column will be
lowered even by 50%. This happens because the stirrups removal doubles the buckling length of
the rebars previously enclosed by it.

ABOUT BALANCED CANTILEVER BRIDGE
What is a Balanced Cantilever Bridge?
A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using cantilevers, structures that project

horizontally into space, supported on only one end.
The suspended span is designed as a simply supported span with supports at
the articulations.
A simple cantilever span is formed by two cantilever arms extending from
opposite sides of an obstacle to be crossed.
Why Balanced Cantilever Bridge?
Page | 60

Figure 37: A bridge having simply supported span
Figure 38: A bridge having continuous span
Page | 61

Figure 39: A bridge having intermediate hinges
Advantages of Balanced Cantilever Bridge

Being a Determinate Structure.
The problem of large stress due to differential support settlement is eliminated
due to the internal hinges.
The design section becomes economic.
Less concrete, steel are required for cantilever design.
Disadvantages of Balanced Cantilever Bridge

Requires a little more skill on the part of the designer.
Requires more elaborate detailing of the reinforcements.
Articulations are very congested with steel and anchorages.

Live Load Analysis of Interior Girder
Influence Line (IL)

IL is a digram showing the variation in shear, moment, reaction, stress in a
structure due to a unit load moving across the structure.
Miller Breslays Principle
The ordinates of IL for any stress element (such as axial force, shear force,
bending moment or reaction) of any structure are proportional to those of the deflection
curve which is obtained by removing the restrain corresponding to that element from
structure & introducing in its place, a corresponding deformation into the primary
structure which remains.
