1.1 Background
Today, Kathmandu is a rapidly urbanizing city with building construction at just about every
corner of the city that one can see. Nowadays, with the awareness level of the building owners
increasing than in the past, the trend of having a building analyzed scientifically before it is actually
constructed is growing popular, especially in case of medium to large commercial buildings, which is
a good thing because such a practice helps construction of more safer buildings which can eventually
lead to avoidance of loss of lives and property in case of a structural failure.
A designer has to deal with various structures ranging from simple ones like curtain rods and
electric poles to more complex ones like multistoried frame buildings, shell roofs bridges etc. these
structure are subjected to various load like concentrated loads uniformly distributed loads, uniformly
varying loads live loads, earthquake loads and dynamic forces. The structure transfers the loads
acting on it to the supports and ultimately to the ground. While transferring the loads acting on the
structure, the members of the structure are subjected to the internal forces like axial forces, shearing
forces, bending and torsional moments.
Structural Analysis deals with analyzing these internal forces in the members of the
structures. Structural Design deals with sizing various members of the structures to resist the internal
forces to which they are subjected during their effective life span. Unless the proper Structural
Detailing method is adopted the structural design will be no more effective. The Indian Standard
Code of Practice should be thoroughly adopted for proper analysis, design and detailing with respect
to safety, economy, stability and strength.
The projected selected by our group is a medium commercial building located at Pulchowk,
Lalitpur. According to IS 1893:2002, Kathmandu lies on Vth Zone, the severest one. Hence the effect
of earthquake is pre-dominant than the wind load. So, the building is analyzed for Earthquake as
lateral Load. The seismic coefficient design method as stipulated in IS 1893:2002 is applied to
analyze the building for earthquake. Special reinforced concrete moment resisting frame is
considered as the main structural system of the building.
The project report has been prepared in complete conformity with various stipulations in
Indian Standards, Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete IS 456-2000, Design Aids for
Reinforced Concrete to IS 456-2000(SP-16), Criteria Earthquake Resistant Design Structures IS
1893-2000, Ductile Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Seismic Forces- Code
of Practice IS 13920-1993, Handbook on Concrete Reinforcement and Detailing SP-34. Use of these
codes have emphasized on providing sufficient safety, economy, strength and ductility besides
satisfactory serviceability requirements of cracking and deflection in concrete structures. These
codes are based on principles of Limit State of Design.
This project work has been undertaken as a partial requirement for B.E. degree in Civil
Engineering. This project work contains structural analysis, design and detailing of a commercial
public building located in Lalitpur District. All the theoretical knowledge on analysis and design
acquired on the course work are utilized with practical application. The main objective of the project
is to acquaint in the practical aspects of Civil Engineering. We, being the budding engineers of
tomorrow, are interested in such analysis and design of structures which will, we hope, help us in
similar jobs that we might have in our hands in the future.

1.2 Theme of Project work
This group under the project work has undertaken the structural analysis and design of multi-
storied commercial building. The main aim of the project work under the title is to acquire
knowledge and skill with an emphasis of practical application. Besides the utilization of analytical
methods and design approaches, exposure and application of various available codes of practices is
another aim of the work.
According to IS 456-2000, Clause 27, structures in which changes in plan dimensions take
place abruptly shall be provided with expansion joints at the section where such changes occur.
2
Reinforcement shall not extend across an expansion joints and the break between the sections shall
be completed. Normally structure exceeding 45m in length is designed with one or more expansion
joints.
The design is intended to serve for the following facilities in the building:-
Basement for Parking ,
Other floors for rent for various commercial purposes like office, departmental stores,
banking, shop stall, etc.
The building is modeled as a space frame. SAP2000 is adopted as the basic tool for the
execution of analysis. SAP2000 program is based on Finite Element Method. Due to possible actions
in the building, the stresses, displacements and fundamental time periods are obtained using
SAP2000 which are used for the design of the members. Lift wall, mat foundation, staircase, slabs
are analyzed separately.
1.7 Design
The following materials are adopted for the design of the elements:
Limit state method is used for the design of RC elements. The design is based on IS:456-
2000, SP-16, IS:1893-2002, SP-34 and Reinforced Concreter Designer’s Handbook- Charles E.
Reynolds and James C. Stedman are extensively used in the process of design.
1.8 Detailing
The space frame is considered as a special moment resisting frame(SMRF) with a special
detailing to provide ductile behavior and comply with the requirements given in IS 13920-1993,

Chapter 2
STRUCTURAL SYSTEM AND
LOADING
The planning of the building has been done as per available land area, shape, space according
to building bylaws and requirement of commercial public building. The positioning of columns,
staircases, toilets, bathrooms, elevators etc are appropriately done and accordingly Beam
arrangements is carried out so that the whole building will be aesthetically, functionally and
economically feasible.
The aim of design is the achievements of an acceptable probability that structures being design will
perform satisfactorily during their intended life. With an appropriate degree of safety, they should
sustain all the loads and deformations of normal construction and use and have adequate durability
and adequate resistance to the effect of misuse and fire.

Seismic weight is the total dead load plus appropriate amount of specified imposed load.
While computing the seismic load weight of each floor, the weight of columns and walls in any story
shall be equally distributed to the floors above and below the storey. The seismic weight of the whole
building is the sum of the seismic weights of all the floors. It has been calculated according to IS:
1893(Part I) – 2002.
IS: 1893(Part I) – 2002 states that for the calculation of the design seismic forces of the
structure the imposed load on roof need not be considered

element stresses in the structure in the course of analysis.
There are together four load cases considered for the structural analysis and are mentioned as
below:
Following Load Combination are adopted as per IS 1893 (Part I): 2002 Cl. No. 6.3.1.2
After checking the results, it was found that the stresses developed are most critical for the
following load combinations:
To find the stress at the various points of the foundation, depth of footing and reinforcements

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
SAP2000 represents the most sophisticated and user-friendly release of SAP series of
computer programs. Creation and modification of the model, execution of the analysis, and checking
and optimization of the design are all done through this single interface. Graphical displays of the
results, including real-time display of time-history displacements are easily produced.
The finite element library consists of different elements out of which the three dimensional
FRAME element was used in this analysis. The Frame element uses a general, three-dimensional,
beam-column formulation which includes the effects of biaxial bending, torsion, axial deformation,
and biaxial shear deformations.
Structures that can be modeled with this element include:
• Three-dimensional frames
• Three-dimensional trusses
• Planar frames
• Planar grillages
• Planar trusses
A Frame element is modeled as a straight line connecting two joints. Each element has its
own local coordinate system for defining section properties and loads, and for interpreting output.
Each Frame element may be loaded by self-weight, multiple concentrated loads, and multiple
distributed loads. End offsets are available to account for the finite size of beam and column
intersections. End releases are also available to model different fixity conditions at the ends of the
element. Element internal forces are produced at the ends of each element and at a user-specified
number of equally-spaced output stations along the length of the element.
Loading options allow for gravity, thermal and pre-stress conditions in addition to the usual
nodal loading with specified forces and or displacements. Dynamic loading can be in the form of a
base acceleration response spectrum, or varying loads and base accelerations.
The design of earthquake resistant structure should aim at providing appropriate dynamic and
structural characteristics so that acceptable response level results under the design earthquake. The
aim of design is the achievement of an acceptable probability that structures being designed will
perform satisfactorily during their intended life. With an appropriate degree of safety, they should
sustain all the loads and deformations of normal construction and use and have adequate durability
and adequate resistance to the effects of misuse and fire.
For the purpose of seismic analysis of our building we used the structural analysis program
SAP2000. SAP2000 has a special option for modeling horizontal rigid floor diaphragm system.
A floor diaphragm is modeled as a rigid horizontal plane parallel to global X-Y plane, so that
all points on any floor diaphragm cannot displace relative to each other in X-Y plane.
This type of modeling is very useful in the lateral dynamic analysis of building. The base
shear and earthquake lateral force are calculated as per code IS 1893(part1)2002 and are applied at
each master joint located on every storey of the building.

SECTION DESIGN

4.1 Limit state Method:
In the method if design based on limit state concept, the structure shall be designed to
withstand safely all loads liable to act on it throughout its life; it shall also satisfy the serviceability
requirements, such as limitations on deflection and cracking. The acceptable limit for the safety and
serviceability requirements before failure occurs is called a ‘limit state’. The aim of design is to
achieve acceptable probabilistic that the structure will not become unfit for the use for which it is
intended, that is, that it will not reach a limit state.
i) Plane sections normal to the axis of the member remain plane after bending.
ii) The maximum strain in concrete at the outermost compression fiber is 0.0035.
iii) The relationship between the compressive stress distribution in concrete and the strain in
concrete may be assumed to be rectangle, trapezoidal, parabola or any other shape which
results in prediction of strength in substantial agreement with the result of test. For design
purposes, the compressive strength of concrete in the structure shall be assumed to be 0.67
times the characteristic strength. The partial safety factor γm = 1.5 shall be applied in
addition to this.
iv) The tensile strength of concrete is ignored.
v) The design stresses in reinforcement are derived from representative stress-strain curve for
the type of steel used. For the design purposes the partial safety factor γ m = 1.15 shall be
applied.
vi) The maximum strain in the tension reinforcement in the section at failure shall not be less
fy
than: 0.002
1.15E s
Assumption:
In addition to the assumptions given above from i) to v), the following shall be assumed:
i.) The maximum compressive strain in concrete in axial compression is taken
as 0.002.
ii.) The maximum compressive strain at highly compressed extreme fiber in concrete subjected
to axial compressive and bending and when there is no tension on the section shall be 0.0035
minus 0.75 times the strain at the least compressed extreme fiber.
The limiting values of the depth of neutral axis for different grades of steel based on the
assumptions are as follows:
Fy xu,max
250 0.53
24
415 0.48
500 0.46
After analyzing the given structure using the software SAP2000 the structural elements are
designed by Limit state Method. Account should be taken of accepted theories, experiment,
experience as well as durability.
The code we use for the design is IS456-2000; IS1893-2002, IS13920-1993 and Design aids
are SP16 and SP34. Suitable material, quality control, adequate detailing and good supervision are
equally important during implementation of the project.
The structural elements (special staircases, lift wall, basement wall) which are not described
by the above mentioned codes and design aids were handled with the help of the handbooks viz.
Reinforced concrete Designer’s Handbook – Charles E. Reynolds and James C. Steedmann,
Reinforced Concrete Detailer’s Manual – Brian W. Boughton. For the design of mat foundation,
though there are several methods in practice, here conventional method of mat footing design is
adopted.
The design includes design for durability, construction and use in service should be
considered as a whole. The realization of design objectives requires compliance with clearly defined
standards for materials, workmanship, and also maintenance and use of structure in service.
This chapter includes all the design process of sample calculation for a single element as slab,
beam, column, staircases, basement wall, lift wall, ribbed slab and mat foundation.
