INTRODUCTION
Reinforced concrete occupies a leading position modern construction along with pre
stressed concrete and steel construction. Proper construction depends upon through
knowledge of action of structure and on the knowledge of characteristics and limitations of
materials that are used in the construction. The care with work is executed in the site is also
important in construction industry.
Industrial training always helps to have practical exposure to the different methods of
analysis and design in reinforced concrete. it helps to understand theory along with the use of
structural engineering software. The entire spectrum of structural engineering field includes
analysis, design, detailing , and drafting , also site related problems are under stood.
The issue related to soil engineering and the study of soil investigation reports,
interpretation of data and foundation design is also understood. Understanding different
software tools in structural engineering, its limitations. The major project assigned during
training was a multi storied mosque building at Malappuram. Site visits are also conducted
during training.
CHAPTER 2
The structural system consists of RCC conventional beam slab arrangement. Kerala is
considered in seismic zone III as per IS 1893- 2002. Analysis was carried out using a very
sophisticated software tool STAAD PRO v8i. Detailed analysis and design was carried out
based on architectural drawing available and the results are summarized in the report.
CHAPTER 3
3.1 GENERAL
There are two methods for building a model and assigning the structure data using
STAAD Pro.
The command file is a text file, which contains the data for the structure being
modeled. The file consists of simple English language like commands, using a format native
to STAAD Pro. This command file may be created directly using the editor built into the
program, or for that matter, any editor which saves data in text form, such as Notepad or
WordPad available in Microsoft Windows.
The graphical method or creation involves utilizing the Modeling mode of the
STAAD Pro graphical environment to draw the model using the graphical tools, and
assigning data such as properties, material constants, loads, etc., using the various menus
and dialog boxes of that mode.
If the second method is adopted (using the UGI), the command file gets automatically
created behind the scenes
Fig 3.1 THE PLAN OF THE STRUCTURE PRODUCED USING STAAD Pro
The graphical model generation mode and the command file are seamlessly
integrated. So, at any time, the graphical model generation mode can be temporarily exited
and access the commend file. When changes are made to the command file and saved, the
GUI immediately reflects the changes made to the structure through the command file. The
frame of the building after modeling is shown in Fig.
STAAD offers two analysis engines – the STAAD engine for general purpose
Structure Analysis and Design and the STARDYNE engine for advanced analysis options.
The modeling mode of the STAAD environment is used to prepare the structural input data.
After the input is prepared, the analysis engine can be chosen depending upon the nature of
the analysis required. Depending on the type of analysis option selected, different types of
output files are generated during the analysis process.
The STAAD analysis engine performs analysis and design simultaneously. But, to
carry out the design, the design parameters too must be specified along with geometry,
properties, etc. before performing the analysis. The design code to be followed for design can
be selected before performing the analysis/design.
The Post Processing Mode of STAAD offers facilitates for on – screen visualization
and verification of the analysis and design results. Displacements, forces, stresses, etc. can be
viewed – both graphically and numerically in this mode. Most of the menu items in the post
processing mode are the same as in the modeling mode. STAAD also enables preparation of
comprehensive reports that include numerical and graphical result. Printable reports may be
generated in two ways. Through the STAAD output file and through the report setup facility
from the Post Processing Mode. The STAAD output file is a text file containing results,
diagrams etc. It is a more versatile facility than the output file in terms of user – level control.
CHAPTER 4
The building site is located at Malappuram. The proposed site consists of top layer of
very loose sand followed by soft to medium silty clay followed by Lateritic sandy clay with
pebbles followed by silty clay/clayey sand followed by very dense sand. From the site
observation, the soil condition of the site was medium soil of safe bearing capacity
200 kN/m2. Hence it is recommended foundation for this is isolated sloped footing
CHAPTER 5
5.1 GENERAL
Analysis is done using STAAD Pro, as it is widely used for structural analysis and
design from Design Engineers International. While doing analysis material and geometric
properties are assumed. Loading considered in analysis are dead load, live load, seismic load
and wind load. Finally on running program output values are obtained, M15 grade and Fe415
steel is used.
Structural analysis of the structure need to be preceded with the calculation of load
imposed on the structure. Various loads taken into account for the analysis of the structure
include live load, dead load, wind load and seismic load. As the area falls under zone III of
the earthquake classification as per Indian Standards, seismic design of the structure is
mandatory. IS 875 Part I deals with dead loads, IS 875 Part II with imposed load, IS 875 Part
III with wind load and IS 1893 Part I with seismic load. The loading standard not only
ensures structure safety of building but also eliminate wastage caused by assuming
unnecessary heavy loadings without proper assessment.
Dead loads are loads that are constant in magnitude and fixed in position throughout a
particular span. It includes self – weight of all structural components in that span. Dead loads
have been determined after assuming both material as well as geometric properties of all
elements used in the building. Unit weight of RCC and brickwork are adopted as 25 KN/m
and 20KN/m respectively.
Imposed loads assumed for an assembly building shall be load that will be
produced by the intended used or occupancy, but shall not be less than the equivalent
minimum loads specified by table-1 IS 875 Part II. Live loads of all floors are assumed as
4 kN/m2.
Wind may be defined as air in motion relative to the surface of the earth. Buildings
should always be designed with due attention for the effect of wind. In general, wind speed in
the atmospheric boundary layer increases with height from zero at the ground level to
maximum at a height called the gradient height. Slight change in the wind direction at this
height is neglected in the code. Basic wind speeds (Vb) for different wind zone of India are
obtained from IS 875 Part III (Appendix A). From this basic wind speed, the design wind
speed (in m/sec) for each storey at height „z‟ is called from
Vz = Vb x k1 x k2 x k3
For the purpose of determining seismic forces, the country is classified in to four
seismic zones. Location of the structure falls under area of zone III. The seismic effect, i.e.,
the intensity and duration of the vibrations, depend on the magnitude of the earthquake, depth
of focus, distance from epicenter, soil strata which hold the structure etc.
As per IS 1893 Part I, clause 6.1.2, the response of a structure to ground vibration is a
function of the nature of foundation soil, materials, from size and mode of construction of
structures and duration and characteristics of ground motion. This standard specifies design
forces for structures standing on rocks or soil which do not settle liquefy or slide due to loss
of strength from ground vibration. Also the following assumptions are made for the
earthquake resistant design of structures.
Earthquake causes impulsive ground motions, which are complex and irregular in
character, changing in period and amplitude each lasting for a small duration. Therefore
resonance of the type as visualized under steady state sinusoidal excitations will not occur
as it would need time to build up such amplitudes.
Earthquake is not likely to occur simultaneously with wind or maximum flood or
maximum sea waves.
The value of elastic modulus of materials, wherever required, may be taken as for static
analysis unless a more definite value is available for use in such condition.
The seismic weight of each floor for the analysis is to be taken as its full dead load
plus appropriate amount of imposed loads. While computing the seismic weight of each floor,
the weight of columns and walls in any storey shall be equally distributed to the floors above
and below. Percentage of imposed load as taken from table 8 of IS 1893 – 2002 is 50%.

6.3.1 GENERAL
Beams generally carry vertical gravitational forces but can also be used to
carry horizontal loads (ie., loads due to an earthquake or wind). The loads carried by
beam are transferred to columns, walls or girders, which then transfer the force to
adjacent structural compression members. In a light frame construction the joists the
joists rests on the beam.
Beams are characterized by their profile (the shape of the cross section),
their length and their material. In contemporary construction, beams are typically made
of steel, reinforced concrete, or wood. The common type is I-beam or wide flange
beam. This is commonly used in steel – frame buildings and bridges. Other common
beams profiles are C-channel the hollow structural section beam, the pipe and the
angle.

6.7.1 GENERAL
The large container in which the water is made to occupy is popularly known as
water tank. The main factors want to consider while constructing a water tank is its resistance
against crack, corrosion, permeability. Water tightness is also an important criterion in water
tanks. Usually richer mixes with M20, M30 concrete are used. The tensile stresses permitted
in concrete are restricted to control cracking. In concrete as per IS: 3370, part II, 1965.

CHAPTER 7
SITE VISITS
The diameters of the piles are 600, 700 and 800 mm. The piles are driven up to a depth of 10
m were hard strata was available. The process of pile driving and concreting of piles were
clearly observed and understood.
D.M.C pile is Direct Mud Circulation pile where water jet is let through the piling chisel
which comes out from bottom with mud. In D.M.C pile foundation the bentonite suspension
is pumped into the bottom of the hole through the drill rods and it overflows at the top of the
casing. The mud pump should have the capacity to maintain a velocity of 0.41 to 0.76m/s to
float the cuttings.
The second site visit was to the construction site of apollo builders, Calicut. It has got
both the villa and the apartment. The apartment has 2 basement floor and the ground floor for
car parking and 6 floors.
In villas, foundation and reinforcement of roof slab construction was completed. For two way
slabs, the spacing for top and bottom reinforcement is different while for one way slab, the
top and bottom spacing are same. Framed section of beam columns were completed for villas.
CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION
The industrial training, taken through a period of three months allowed me to gain
ample exposure to various field practices in the analysis and design of multi- storied
buildings and also in various construction techniques used in the industry. The analysis was
done using the software package STAAD Pro v8i and the drawing details in Auto CAD 2010.
All the structural components were designed manually. The use of the software offers saving
in time, It takes value on safer side than manual work. Hence manual design was adopted.
The analysis and design was done according to standard specifications to the possible extend.
The various difficulties encountered in the design process and the various constraints faced
by the structural engineer in designing up to the architectural drawing were also well
understood. This training helped to understand and analyse the structural problem faced by
the construction industry. Site visits also gave me an exposure to the industry.
