III. METHODOLOGY
Here, the general overview of the methods of approach
that were applied for the development of the structural
model, analysis and design of selected members of the
structure are considered. The architectural model was
developed with AutoCAD and Revit, but the structural
model was developed on Robot Structural Analysis. The
analysis and design of the structure in reinforced concrete
will be in accordance with BS codes. The estimated dead
load and imposed loads values used are in accordance with
the British Standards. The proposed auto park is on four

7660m2, have a mechanical administration focus and an auto

way out), two doorways and leaves every, lifts what's more,
stairs at suitable spots and crisis exits. The design model was
produced on Revit which is exceptionally great additionally
to create the fundamental point of interest of the structure
that would be required for the basic displaying on Robot.

and Revit, displaying, auxiliary investigation and outline
with Autodesk Robot. The structural outline was an essential
part of this undertaking. The configuration gave fundamental
data about the structure, data like the aggregate length-width
of the structure, the area and distance across of the helical
incline, the measurements of the pressing straight, of the
path and essential geometrical data of the parking office. It
additionally gives pictorial data of the way autos are being
parked inside of the auto park. It likewise gives an
understanding of the auxiliary components and where they
are to be put. The sectional properties are appeared in Table

produced on Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis
programming. The investigation will determine the reaction

Analysis programming receives the limited component

pillars and segments, the greatest twisting minutes in
sections, pillars and segments, the most extreme
disfigurements of the structure under various burden cases

The combined load cases decided the most noticeably bad
situations of all the load cases that could influence the
structure and prompt breakdown. Table 2 demonstrates the
different load case and their worth. Figs.7, 8 and 9
demonstrate the helipad load case, the relocation chart for
the wind load case and the bending moment because of mix
of all the load cases individually.

The model experienced distinctive phases of advancement

before achieving the last stage that was utilized for analysis.
The principal period of the displaying process began with
importing the general course of action format from Fig.7. Helipad load case.
AutoCAD to Robot where the underlying demonstrating
began. The format was cautious grown in order to keep any
type of mistake when displaying in Robot. The different
period of the demonstrating procedure are being represented
in Figs. 5 and 6.

V. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

The structural analysis was done on robot after the model
has been created on it. A few load cases were thought about
before the investigations were done. The load cases
considered for the examinations of the structure were dead
load, live load (which contains static load + dynamic load),
helipad load and wind load. The single load cases were then
consolidated in the different way as indicated by the code
remedy.
