Sample Sketches
To provide you with a visual representation, I'll create sketches based on the above descriptions.
Please hold on for a moment while I prepare these.
It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. However, I can
guide you on how to create architectural plans and elevations for your project.
If you need further assistance or specific elements to include in your plans or elevations, feel free to

Here‘s a basic outline for structural design calculations for your RCC multistoried building according
to IS codes. For this example, we will focus on the following key design aspects:
1. Load Calculations
2. Design of Slab, Beam, and Column
3. Foundation Design
1. Load Calculations
a. Dead Load (DL)
• Self-weight of RCC:
• Assume: Density of concrete = 25 kN/ '
• Slab thickness: 0.15 m
• Dead load for slab:
2
D slab' 0•15 m 25 kN/W3 = 3.75 kN/m
• Other dead loads:
• Walls, finishes, etc. can be added depending on specific requirements (assumed to be 1.5
kN/m*).
• Total Dead Load:
2. Design of Slab
a. Effective Depth Calculation
Assume:
• Width of slab = 1 m
b. Moment Calculation
wL2

Where:
• w = 7.25 kN/m2
• ' 4 m (Assumed length for calculation)
7.25 42
M = 14.5 kNm/m

c. Design of Reinforcement
M — 0.138/ckbd 2
Assuming:
• b— 1m
Calculating:
Assuming:
fy 415 MPa
Substituting values into the formula gives the area of steel required.
3. Design of Beam
Assuming a beam spans 4 m with a width of 230 mm and a depth of 450 mm:
• Calculate the moment using the same live and dead load calculations as above.
4. Design of Column
Assuming a column size of 230 mm x 450 mm:
• Use axial load calculations based on the load from the floors and the factors of safety from IS
456.
5. Foundation Design
a. Type of Foundation
• Based on load calculations and soil properties, a suitable foundation type (isolated footing or
raft) can be selected.
b. Depth of Foundation
• Assume depth based on local soil conditions (check bearing capacity).
WhereP is the total load on the footing, and A is the area of the footing.
Summary
This is a simplified version of the structural design calculations based on IS 456. You will need to
further refine these calculations based on your specific project requirements, local codes, and more
detailed structural analysis.
For actual design, consulting IS codes directly (such as IS 456:2000 for design and construction of
concrete structures) and utilizing sokware tools for complex calculations is advisable. If you have
specific values or sections you want to explore further, let me know!
To provide detailed structural design calculations incorporating wind loads, seismic forces, and other
parameters for your RCC multistoried building, we will follow the IS codes, specifically IS 456:2000 for
RCC design, IS 875 (Part 3) for wind loads, and IS 1893 (Part 1) for seismic forces.

1. Building Height: 1 2 m (G+3)
2. Building Dimensions: 40 ft x 60 ft (approx. 1 2 m x 18 m)
3. Soil Type: Medium soil (considering general parameters)
4. Seismic Zone: Assume Zone III (considering Gwalior, India)
5. Importance Factor (I): 1.5 (for residential buildings)
6. Response Reduction Factor (R): 5 (for moment-resisting frames)

1. Load Calculations
a. Dead Load (DL)

2 2
q = 0.613 • (33)2 = 0.613 ^ 1089 = 666.6 N/m (or 6.67 kN/m )
The effective area can be estimated using the height and width of the building:

Aeff Height ^ Width — 12 m ^ 18 m = 216 m
Assumed A ' S.
Total height = 12 m.
V = Ah ^ W
Where W is the total weight of the building (in kN). Assuming the weight of the building is
calculated from total dead and live loads:
• Total Load per Floor: TO ^ Area
• Assuming 4 floors:
4. Summary of Loads
• Total Dead Load (DL): 1566 kN
• Total Live Load (LL): 864 kN (approximate total for all floors)
• Slabs
• Beams
• Columns
• Foundations
2. Design Beams:
3. Design Columns:
• Use axial load from the floors, design for bending and buckling.
4. Design Foundations:
• Design moment and shear forces will come from the load calculations.
3. Calculate Required Reinforcement using:
Mq — 0 138f,t bd2
This provides a comprehensive framework for structural design calculations. For actual calculations,
it’s recommended to refer to detailed IS codes and consult with structural engineers to ensure
compliance and safety standards. If you want specific calculations for beams, columns, or
foundations, let me know!
