1 RC-2 - Semester Project

This document outlines the requirements for a semester project analyzing and designing the structural elements of a building. Students will be assigned an architectural drawing and must: 1) understand loadings on the building; 2) design slab, beam, and column dimensions; 3) analyze slab and beam design; 4) design stairs and load transfer; 5) model the structure in ETABS; 6) design columns. Students will work in groups of up to 7 on a specific building typology. The written report and oral presentation will be evaluated based on completion, correctness, and application of structural design procedures.

Semester Project 1

Semester Project
Assignment Title: Analysis and Design of Building for Gravity Load

Due Date: End of class


For the given architectural drawings assigned to each group, you are expected to carry out the following
activities:

I. Understand the given bases.


II. Identify, categories and quantify the loads acting of each level of the building.
III. Idealize the slab system/load transfer mechanism and propose slab and beam dimensions by
limiting the span to depth ratio. In doing so explain, why span to depth ratios are opted to be
limited.
IV. Design the slab, beam and column for concrete cover considering durability, bond and fire
rating requirements.
V. Analyze and design the slab system for both ultimate limit state (ULS) and serviceability Limit
State.
VI. Design the stair and transfer the loads to the supporting elements.
VII. Transfer loads from slabs to the supporting beams (If the slab system is supported by
beams), and design the beam for both ULS and SLS.
VIII. Model the frame system of the structure on finite element (FE) software, preferably ETABS
V16, and carry out a 3D analysis.
IX. By reading on the concept of tributary-area, calculate the load you expect at base of each
column of the structural system and compare your result the 3D FE analysis.
X. Design the highly stressed interior, edge and corner columns throughout the building height.
XI. Prepare typical drawings for beam, column and slab according to the detailing requirement of
EC-2

Assumptions and considerations:


 Design life of the building is 50 years.
