1. BACKGROUND
1.1. Introduction and General Background
A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis. Facilities
provided may range from a modest-quality mattress in a small room to large suites
with bigger, higher-quality beds, a dresser, a refrigerator and other kitchen facilities,
upholstered chairs, a flat screen television, and en-suite bathrooms. Small, lower-
priced hotels may offer only the most basic guest services and facilities. Larger,
higher-priced hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming pool,
business centre (with computers, printers, and other office equipment), childcare,
conference and event facilities, tennis or basketball courts, gymnasium, restaurants,
day spa, and social function services. Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in
some smaller hotels and B&Bs) to allow guests to identify their room. Some boutique,
high-end hotels have custom decorated rooms. Some hotels offer meals as part of a
room and board arrangement. Nepal is disaster prone country. The various causes for
the disaster are landslides epidemic and fires which causes considerable losses to life
and property in Nepal every year. But out of this entire earthquake is most devastating
through it is not so frequent. Nepal is a seismic prone country and the risk it faces
from earthquake is very high. So, the design of earthquake resistance structure is
important.

1.2 Specific Background

In this particular project, we are planning to design and analyse a 3 star hotel at
Begnas lake area, Pokhara. This particular area doesn’t have any star hotel as yet.
With the scope of tourism flourishing in the area, we believe a 3 star hotel is a
necessity.

2. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Nepal officially opened its door to tourists in 1951. The first Tourism Master Plan in
1972 showed the government’s commitment to developing this sector. The
Government of Nepal and the private sector have been working together to develop
tourism: the private sector has taken the operational lead and the government has
introduced regulatory reforms and developed infrastructure. The Tourism Policy of
1995 aims to develop tourism as a priority sector in Nepal.

Tourism has grown considerable in Nepal in recent years. The number of tourists
jumped from 380,000 in 2006 to about 800,000 in 2013. Recent data shows that more
than two-thirds of tourists come for holidays, trekking expeditions, or pilgrimages.
About a third of tourists are between the ages of 30–45 and about 20% are from India.
The average length of stay for a tourist in Nepal is about 13 days. More tourists visit
in March, October, and November than other months …...

The Nepal Tourism Board, the body responsible for promoting tourism in Nepal, has
launched a plan, in which it aims to achieve an increase in annual international tourist
arrivals to Nepal to 2 million by 2020, as well as employment in the tourism sector of
one million. There are currently 105 star hotels, 625 standard tourist hotels, and 226
homestay facilities( ..). Out of the 105 star hotels, 8 are 5-star. Room occupancies in
5-star hotels generally hover between 40–80% during peak season. 

Eight out of the 10 highest mountains in the world are in Nepal. Nepal also has 20
protected areas, which cover 23% of its land area: 10 national parks, 3 wildlife
reserves, 6 conservation areas, and 1 hunting area. Nepal’s land accounts for only
0.1% of the total land mass in the world; however, in terms of biodiversity, the
country has about 2.8% of plants, 4% of mammals, and 3.72% of butterflies, as well
as 8.9% of birds found globally. 

Although tourism is an important sector for Nepal’s overall development and has
achieved higher growth rates than those achieved by the overall economy, it accounts
for only about 2% of GDP. In 2012/13, the tourism sector earned approximately USD
400,000. Observing the current scenario of our country, we believe this tourism sector
still needs flourish ment. Keeping this in mind, we are planning to design a 3 star
hotel in Pokhara.

3. OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the project is to design the Cast-in-situ RCC Bridge with
following specific objectives:

 To design a 3 star hotel building in Pokhara Metropolitan city.

 To analyze the structural members of planned hotel building.
 To design an earthquake resistance building.

4. SCOPE OF STUDY

We believe, this particular project of 3 Star Hotel has a lot to contribute to the tourism
and hospitality sector of the country. Every year Nepal attracts millions of tourists,
thanks to the beauty it possesses. Establishment of better hotels flourishes the tourism
in the country.
Nepal being seismically vulnerable zone, seismic resistant structure will provide safe
working and living environment for building occupants. Structurally safe building
will provide assurance of the guest. At the end of the project public and junior people
will gain the knowledge about importance of seismic resistant structure.

The scope of the study encompasses various aspects in design and structural analysis
(of different structural members such as beam, column and slab) of a building using
SAP-2000, AutoCAD as well as SketchUp. Nowadays, most of the civil engineering
projects are using these softwares.

Having done this project, we be able to gain exposure in various computer

applications related to civil engineering. It familiarizes us in conducting literature
review on codes of practice to structural behavior of buildings and understanding the
architectural RCC drawings. It exposes us with preliminary design of geometry of
structural members with the help of architectural drawing and familiarize with
byelaws and codes.

5. LITERATURE REVIEW
The Hotel Association Nepal (HAN) has made certain standard data that is required
for three-star hotel. This rule is on changing phase and this project will be based on
codal provision recommended by DUDBC 2072, Bhanwan Nirman tathaNaksa Pas
Nirdeshika,2072, IS code, Hotel Standard, 2070, Hotel Standard(Amendment), 2074,
Time Saver Standard and Department of Tourism.

Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) or IEE is to be done in order to pass by

ministry for the acceptance of proposal of star hotels. According to “Hotel Standard
(Amendment), 2074”, the rating of star hotel is done on following major basis.

1-star hotel:
It should consist of at least 15 rooms with area of 169 sq. ft. with attached bathroom.
It should have enough space for lobby area. It should have at least one meeting hall
with minimum requirements. Minimum parking space required for five buses should
be provided. The minimum width of corridor and staircase should be of 1.5 meters.

6. METHODOLOGY
The study will be done in two phases

 Designing
 Analysis

Designing involves developing of function plan/master plan in accordance with the

Nepal standard and the functional requirement of the building. The modeling,
designing and analysis of the structure will be done in AutoCAD-2007,SketchUp-
2014 and SAP-2000. The design criteria confirms to the Indian Standard, Local
Byelaw. The load calculation and analysis result together with the design of the
various structural members.

The planning of the hotel building will be based on the regulations provided by the
department of tourism (hotel standard 2070, hotel standard amendment 2074), bhawan
nirman ko namuna mapdand, 2070. Whereas the design and structural analysis will be
done on the basis of IS code, national building codes provided by the DUDBC.

7. EXPECTED OUTCOME
