5.Creating the load path of the various forces to foundation

Load is transferred from

a.Slabs and all floors to Beams 

b.Beams to columns

c.Columns to the foundation

 Define the Load Patterns for Various type of loads as shown

 Seismic load patterns are added as per IS 1893-2016

 

 

 

Wind load Patterns are added as per IS 875-2015

 

 

 

6.Load calculations for all the forces acting on the building. 

7.Calculation for seismic and wind forces

 

As per the code IS 875 Part I Dead load and SuperImposed loads are calculated:

 

Dead loads:

Assume unit weight of Precast concrete having Reinforcement = 25 KN/m3

Concrete doesn't have reinforcement , so unit weight of screed = 24 KN/m3

 

Assume Total Depth of slab D = 250mm

(Taken in our calculation also)

Dead load = 0.25*25 = 6.25KN/m2

 

Super Imposed Dead loads:

Assume 230 mm thick wall 

Floor Height = 3.0 m     (118.11 inches = 3m)

Beam size = 0.23 m*0.5 m

Assume standard brick having density = 18 KN/m3

Now Height of wall = Floor Height - Beam Depth

                            = 3.0 - 0.5 = 2.5m

Total SuperImposed Load = Height of wall * Thickness of wall * Unit weight of bricks with Plastering

                                     = 2.5 * 0.23 * 18 = 10.35 KN/m

 

IS 875 Part 2

Live Loads 

Living Room and Bedrooms = 3KN/m2

Kitchen Room = 3 KN/m2

Dining Room = 4 KN/m2

Toilet and Bath rooms = 2 KN/m2

Corridors and Passage  = 3 KN/m2

Store Room = 5 KN/m2

Balconies = 4 KN/m2

 

 Consider Live load = KN/m2

Considering only for Gravity loading and no lateral loading for preliminary dimensions

Load combination = 1.5DL + 1.5LL

                          = 1.5*(6.25+10.35) + 1.5*5 = 32.4 KN/m2

Design load = 32.4 KN/m2 

Earthquake loads IS 1893:2016:

Consider Zone II as per the Map in IS code 1893 for Bhopal (from fig 1 IS 1893)   

Seismic Zone factor Z = 0.10 Table 2 of IS 1893

Consider OMRF for the given Building

Based on IS 1893 for Ordinary Moment Resisting Frames we have 

Response Reduction Factor R = 3 From Table 9 IS 1893

Assume site Type = Type 2

Importance Factor of the Building I = 1 (from Table 8 IS 1893)

Moment Resisting Frames with Masonry Infills clause 7.6.2 c     

 

Height of the Building = 944.8819 inches = 24 m

Sa/g = Design Acceleration coefficient for Soil types     (Clause 6.4.2  (a) IS 1893) and Table 2

For use in Equivalent static method

Assume Medium stiff soils Sa/g = 1.36/T 

Clause 7.6.2 (c) Buildings with RC structural walls have Time period

T = 0.09h/d^0.5 

h = height of Building = 24 m 

d = Base Dimension of the Building at the Plinth level along the considered direction of the Earthquake

Considering in both directions Direction X = 323 inches = 8.21 m

                                           Direction Y = 787.25inches = 20 m

Ta1 = 0.09*24/8.21^0.5

Ta1 = 0.753 = 0.76

Ta2 = 0.09*24/20^0.5

Ta2 = 0.483 = 0.49

 

Now Sa/g = 1.36/T 

For direction 1 Sa/g = 1.36/0.76 = 1.79 

For direction 2 Sa/g = 1.36/0.49 = 2.78

 

Now For direction X

Ah = (Z/2)*(I/R)*(Sa/g)

Ah = (0.10/2)*(1/3)*1.79 = 0.023

Now For direction Y

Ah = (0.10/2)*(1/3)*2.78 = 0.047

 

 

Base shear = Vb = Ah*w

Vb = 2.3% of Seismic weight for Direction X

Vb = 4.7% of Seismic weight for Direction Y

8.Identifying and dealing the irregularities of the building:

 

Irregularities in the Plan

In the Structural grid plan it is observed that there are both Vertical and Horizontal, Torsional Irregularities in the Plan.

Vertical Irregularities:

Soft Storey at the Bottom Stilt Floor is seen as per the Architectural plan.

So to strength the Stilt floor it necessary to provide Shear walls or Strength the Columns by Capacity Design.

This helps in the reducing the Torsion of the whole building during earthquake.

Horizontal Irregularities:

The plan shows so may open spaces in the Architectural drawing which causes Irregularities in the Building.

Torsional irregularities:

The combination of both the Horizontal and vertical Irregularities should be greater than Torsional Irregularity to find a structure to be stable.
