Abstract
Structural design is the primary aspect of civil engineering. The very basis of construction of any
building, residential house or dams, bridges, culverts, canals etc. is designing. Structural engineering
has existed since humans first started to construct their own structures.
The foremost basic in structural engineering is the design of simple basic components and members
of a building viz., Slabs, Beams, Columns and Footings. In order to design them, it is important to
first obtain the plan of the particular building that is, positioning of the particular rooms (Drawing
room, bed room, kitchen toilet etc.) such that they serve their respective purpose and also suiting to
the requirement and comfort of the inhabitants. Thereby depending on the suitability; plan layout of
beams and the position of columns are fixed. Thereafter, the loads are calculated namely the dead
loads, which depend on the unit weight of the materials used (concrete, brick) and the live loads,
which according to the code IS:875-1987 is around 2kN/m2.
Once the loads are obtained, the component takes the load first i.e the slabs can be designed.
Designing of slabs depends upon whether it is a one-way or a two-way slab, the end conditions and
the loading. From the slabs, the loads are transferred to the beam. The loads coming from the slabs
onto the beam may be trapezoidal or triangular. Depending on this, the beam may be designed.
Thereafter, the loads (mainly shear) from the beams are taken by the columns. For designing
m
columns, it is necessary to know the moments they are subjected to. For this purpose, frame analysis
o
is done by Moment Distribution Method. After this, the designing of columns is taken up depending
. c
on end conditions, moments, eccentricity and if it is a short or slender column. Most of the columns
designed in this mini project were considered to be axially loaded with uniaxial bending. Finally, the
a
footings are designed based on the loading from the column and also the soil bearing capacity value

for that particular area. Most importantly, the sections must be checked for all the four components

described. Apart from that, the planning of the building with regard to appropriate directions for the

respective rooms, choosing position and columns are also properly explained. The future of
tserve
structure engineering mainly depends on better and more effective methods of designing the
S
structures so that they and are also economical. The advancement of innovative and
environmentally friendly building materials are also coming up. They can give a new direction to the
structural engineering field as the availability of concrete and steel is not only decreasing but also
they are harmful to the environment. Hence, eco friendly materials which are economical and more
effective methods of designing will decide the future of structure engineering.
INTRODUCTION
Engineering is a professional art of applying science to the efficient conversion of natural resources for the
benefit of man. Engineering therefore requires above all creative imagination to innovative useful
application for natural phenomenon.
The design process of structural planning and design requires not only imagination and conceptual thinking
but also sound knowledge of science of structural engineering besides the knowledge of practical aspects,
such as recent design codes, bye laws, backed up by ample experience, intuition and judgement. The
purpose of standards is to ensure and enhance the safety, keeping careful balance between economy and
safety.
The process of design commences with planning of the structure , primarily to meet its functional
requirements. Initially, the requirements proposed by the client are taken into consideration. They may be
vague, ambiguous or even unacceptable from engineering point of view because he is not aware of the
various implications involved in the process of planning and design , and about the limitationa and
intricacies of structural science.
It is emphasized that any structure to be constructed must satisfy the need efficiently for which it is intended
and shall be durable for its desired life span.
m
c o
.
Thus, the design of any structure is categorized into the following two main types :-
a
1) functional design
2) structural design.
m
FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

yn
The structure to be constructed should be primarily serve the basic purpose for which it is to be used and
must have a pleasing look.
d
t
The building should provide u happy environment inside as well as outside. Therefore, the functional planning
of a building mustS take into account the proper arrangements of rooms / halls to satisfy the need of the
client, good ventilation, lighting, acoustics, unobstructed view in the case of community halls, cinema halls,
etc.. sufficient head room, proper water supply and drainage arrangements, planting of trees etc. bearing all
these aspects in mind the architect/engineer has to decide whether it should be a load bearing structure or
R.C.C framed structure or a steel structure etc..
STRUCTURAL DESIGN
Structural design is an art and science of understanding the behaviour of structural members subjected to
loads and designing them with economy and elegance to give a safe, serviceable and durable structure.

STAGES IN STRUCTURAL DESIGN
S
The process of structural design involves the following stages :
1) structural planning
2) action of forces and computation of loads
3) methods of analysis
4) member design
5) detailing, drawing and preparation of schedules.
STRUCTURAL PLANNING
After getting an architectural plan of the buildings, the structural planning of the building frame is done.
This involves determination of the following :
a) positioning and orientation of column of columns
b) position of beams
c) spanning of slabs
d) layout of stairs
e) selecting proper type of footing
the basic principle in deciding the layout of compent members is that the loads should be transferred to the
foundation along the shortest path.
POSITION OF COLUMNS
1) Columns should be preferably located at or near the corners of a building and at the intersections of
beams/walls. Since the basic function of the columns is to support beams which are normally placed
under the walls to support them, their position automatically gets fixed as shown in the figure below.

tu

S
2) Select the position of columns so as to reduce bending moments in beams. When the locations of two
columns are very near, then one column should be provided instead of two at such a position so as to
reduce the beam moment.
3) Avoid larger spans of beams. When the centre to centre distance between the intersection of walls is
large or when there are no cross walls, the spacing between two columns is governed by limitations of
spans of supported beams because spacing of columns decides the span of beam. As the span of the
beam increases, the required depth of the beam, and hence its self weight, and the total load on beam
increases.
It is well known that the moment governing the beam design varies with the square of the span and
directly with the load. Hence with the increase in the span, there is considerable increase in the size of
the beam.
On the other hand, in the case of column, the increase in total load due to increase in length is negligible
as long as the column is short. Therefore the cost of the beam per unit length increases rapidly with the
span as compared to beams on the basis of unit cost. Therefore the larger span of the beams should be
preferably avoided for economy reasons.
In general, the maximum spans of beams carrying live loads upto 4 kN/m^2 may be limited to the following
values.

4) Avoid larger centre to centre distance between columns. Larger spacing of columns not only increases

yn
column may be shifted inside along a cross wall to make room for accommodating the footing within the
property line.
d

S
ORIENTATION OF COLUMNS
1) Avoid projection of column outside wall. According requirements of aesthetics and utility, projections of
columns outside the wall in the room should be avoided as they not only give bad also obstruct the use of
floor space and create problems in furniture flush with the wall. Provide depth of the column in the plane
of the wall to avoid such offsets.
2) Orient the column so that the depth of the column is contained in the major plane of bending or is
perpendicular to the major axis of bending. When the column is rigidly connected to right angles, it is
subjected to moments of addition to the axial load. In such cases, the column should be so oriented that
the depth of the column is perpendicular to major axis of bending so as to get larger moment of inertia
and hence greater moment resisting capacity. It will also reduce Leff/D ratio resulting in increase in the
load carrying capacity of the column.
3) It should be borne in mind that increasing the depth in the plane of bending not only increases the
moment carrying capacity but also increases its stiffness, there by more moment is transferred to the
column at the beam column junction.
4) However, if the difference in bending moment in two mutually perpendicular directions is not large the
depth of the column may be taken along the wall provided column has sufficient strength in the plane of
large moment. This will avoid offsets in the rooms.
POSITION OF BEAMS
1) Beams shall normally be provided under the walls or below a heavy concentrated load to avoid
these loads directly coming on slabs. Since beams are primarily provided to support slabs, its spacing
shall be decided by the maximum spans of slabs.
2) Slab requires the maximum volume of concrete to carry a given load. Therefore the thickness of slab is
required to be kept minimum. The maximum practical thickness for residential/office/public buildings
is 200mm while the minimum is 100mm.
3) The maximum and minimum spans of slabs which decide the spacing of beams are governed by
loading and limiting thickness given above. In the case of buildings, with live load less than 5kN/m^2,
the maximum spacing of beams may be limited to the values of maximum spans of slabs given below.

known that deflection varies directly with the cube of span and inversely with the cube of depth i.e.,

L /D . Consequently, increase in D is less than increase in span L which results in greater deflection
for larger span.
5) However, for large span, normally higher L/D ratio is taken to restrict the depth from considerations of
head room, aesthetics and psychological effect. Therefore spans of beams which require the depth of
beam greater than one meter should be avoided.
SPANNING OF SLABS
This is decided by supporting arrangements. When the supports are only on opposite edges or only in one
direction,the slab acts as a one way supported slab. When rectangular slab is supported along its four edges,
it acts as one way slab when Ly / Lx > 2 and as two way slab for Ly/Lx < 2. how ever two way action of the
slab not only depends on the aspect ratio Ly / Lx and but also on the ratio of reinforcement in the two
directions. Therefore, designer is free to decide as to whether the slab should be designed as one way or two
way.
1) A slab normally acts as a one way slab when the aspect ratio Ly/Lx >2 ,since in this case one way action
is predominant. In one way slab, main steel is provided along the short span only and the load is
transferred to two opposite supports only. The steel along the long span just acts as distribution steel and
is not designed for transferring the load but to distribute the load and to resist shrinkage and temperature
stresses.
2) A two way slab having aspect ratio Ly / Lx < 2 is generally economical compared to one way slab
because steel along the spans acts as main steel and transfers the load to all its four supports. The two
way action is advantageous essentially for large spans and for live loads greater than 3kN/m^2. for short
spans and light loads, steel required for two way slab does not differ appreciably as compared to steel for
one way slab because of the requirement of minimum steel.
4) Decide the type of the slab. While deciding the type of the slab whether a cantilever or a simply
supported slab or a continuous slab loaded by UDL it should be borne in mind that the maximum
bending moment in cantilever (M = wL2 / 2) is four times that of a simply supported slab (M=wL2/8) ,
while it is five to six times that of a continuous slab or a fixed slab (M=wL2/10 or wL2/12) for the same
span length.

small building the soil
2) It is necessaryS to conduct the survey in the area where the proposed structure is to be constructed to
determine the soil properties. Drill holes and trail pits should be taken and in situ plate load test may be
performed and samples of soil tested in the laboratory to determine the bearing capacity of soil and other
properties.
3) For framed structure under study, isolated column footings are normally preferred except in case of soils
with very low bearing capacities. If such soil or black cotton soil exists for great depths, pile foundations
can be appropriate choice.
4) If columns are very closely spaced and bearing capacity of the soil is low, raft foundation can be an
alternative solution. For column on the boundary line, a combined footing or a strap footing may be
provided.
ACTIONS OF FORCES AND COMPUTATION OF LOADS

as follows :-

torsional moment and hence shear stresses in the member

ANALYSIS OF A STRUCTURE
MEMBER DESIGN :- The member design consists of design of slab, beam, column, and
footing.
m
Before starting the structural design of R.C. frame components, it is always necessary
a
to mark or designate them first to facilitate identification, listing and scheduling. The
yn
different schemes adopted for marking or identification are given below.

a grid reference scheme.
c. Scheme followed by the private sector.
In this scheme, columns are first of all numbered serially startin from the column at
top left corner proceeding rightwards and then downwards as shown in the figure below.
Beams are designated as Bij in which suffix i refers to column number from which beam
starts and suffix j refers to the direction in which it runs. (j=1 for beams going northwards in
(y) direction, j=2, for beams going eastwards in (x) direction, j=3 is used for cantilever beam
going southwards with no column beyond, while j=4 is used for cantilever beam going
westward with no column beyond.
1) This scheme is followed by public work department of some states and by steel
structures fabricators and erectors. It is not very common with R.C. designers in the
private sector. The government departments which adopt this marking scheme, designate
slabs as wSij in which prefixing letter w indicates category number of the slab, while
suffix j indicates the type of slab whether one-way or two-way (j=1 for one way slab and
j= 2 for two way slab).
2) This practice is useful and advantageous for maintaining a proper record especially when
different slab panels are designed for different loads. This record is helpful to avoid
wrong usage or over loading of the room in future due to change of user which is very
common in government departments or public sector.
1) In this scheme of marking, starting from the column at the bottom left corner, series
of imaginary horizontal grid lines passing through each column are marked as A-A
,B-B, C-C etc, and vertical grid lines passing through each column are marked as 1-
1, 2-2, 3-3 as shown in the below figure.
2) The columns are designated as Cij in which suffix i and j refer to the horizontal (ith )
and vertical (jth) grid lines intersecting at the column.

1) In this scheme, the columns are marked serially as C1, C2, C3 etc.. or by encircled
such as 1, 2, 3 etc.. by the side of the column starting either from top left
corner and moving rightwards and down wards.
2) Beams are marked serially as B1, B2, etc.. starting from first column and moving
rightwards first and then downwards thus numbering first all the beams in horizontal
or x- direction and then numbering first all the beams in horizontal or x- direction
and then numbering upwards in y – direction starting from left most beams as shown
in the figure below.
3) However, the slabs are not marked serially but are marked according to their
categories based on design specifications (namely the thickness, diameter, and
spacing of reinforcement along two perpendicular spans). This facilitates scheduling
of slabs.
4) Nevertheless, it requires grouping of slab panel first having nearly equal spans, end
conditions and the load so that categories of slabs required to be designed are
reduced to a minimum. The spanning of slabs is shown, by arrows on the plan and
specifying separately in the schedules under remarks column.
At present, the loads for which the slabs are designed are many times not shown
on the drawings. However, since these drawings form a permanent record with the
user or with the licencing bodies like municipal corporations, it is advisable to record
the design live load along with the specification of grades of concrete and steel in the
notes on the drawings.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHIES
Reinforced concrete structures can be designed by using one of the following design
philosophies.
a
m
Working stress method used over decades is now practically out dated. It is not
a
used at all in many advanced countries of the world because of its inherent
yn
drawbacks. The latest I.S. Code gives emphasis on Limit State method which is the
modified version of Ultimate load method.
d
tu
It is a judicious amalgamation of WSM and ULM removing all drawbacks of
both methods but maintaining their good points. It is also based on sound scientific
S
principles backed up by 25 years of research. The limit state method has proved to
have an edge over the working stress design from the view point of economy.
Loads and properties of materials constitute the basic parameters affecting the
design of a R.C. structure. Both of them are basically of varying nature. The correct
assessment of loads/forces on a structure is a very important step and serviceable design
of structure.
TYPES OF LOADS
The loads are broadly classified as vertical loads, horizontal loads, and
longitudinal loads. The vertical loads consists of dead load, live load, impact load. The
horizontal loads comprises of wind load and earth quake load. The longitudinal loads
(viz, tractive and braking forces are considered in special cases of design of bridges,
design of gantry girders etc.)
Dead load :-
Dead loads are permanent or stationary loads which are transferred to the structure
throughout their life span. Dead load is primarily due to self weight of structural
members, permanent partition walls, fixed permanent equipment and weighs of different
materials.
Live loads or movable loads with out any acceleration or impact. These are
assumed to be produced by the intended use or occupancy of the building including
weights of movable partition or furniture etc. The imposed loads to be assumed in
buildings
Impact load :-
yn
produces a live load but soldiers marching or frames supporting lifts and hoists produce
impact loads. Thus impact load is equal to imposed load incremented by some percentage
d
depending on the intensity of impact.
tu
S
Wind load :-
Wind load is primary horizontal load caused by movement of air relative to earth.
The details of design wind load are given is IS : 875 (part - 3)2.2
Wind load is required to be considered in design especially when the height of the
building exceeds two times dimensions transverse to the exposed wind surface. For low
rise building say up to 4 to 5 storeys the wind load is not critical because the moment of
resistance provided by the continuity of floor system to column connection and walls
provided between column connection and walls provided between columns are sufficient
to accommodate the effect of these forces.
Further in limit state method the factor for design load is reduced to 1.2(DL + LL +
WL) when the wind is considered as against the factor of 1.5 (DL + LL) when wind is not
considered.
Earth quake load :-
Earth quake loads are horizontal loads caused by earth quake and shall be
computed in accordance with IS : 18932.2 . For monolithic reinforced concrete structures
located in seismic zone II and III with out more than 5 storey high, and importance factor
less than 1, the seismic forces are not critical.
CHARACTERISTIC LOAD
Since the loads are variable in nature they are determined based on statistical approach.
But it is impossible to give a guarantee that the loads can not exceed during the life span of
the structure. Thus, the characteristic value of the load is obtained based on statistical
probabilistic principles from mean value and standard deviation.
The characteristic load is defined as that value of load which has 95% probability of not
being exceeded during the service span of the structure. However, this requires large
amount of statistical data. Code recommends to take the working loads or service loads

Notes : (1) DL = dead load IL = imposed load WL = windload
(2) while considering earth quake effects. Substitute EL for WL.
(3) since the serviceability relates to the behavior of structure at working load the partial
safety factors for limit state of serviceability are unity.
(4) for limit state of serviceability, the values given in this table are applicable for short
term effects. While assessing the long term effects due to creep, the dead load and that
part of the dead load and live load likely to be permanent may only be considered.
While designing a structure, all load combinations, in general are required to be considered
and the structure is designed for the most critical of all.
For building upto 4 storeys, wind load is not considered, the elements are required to be
designed for critical combination of dead load and live load only.
For deciding critical load arrangements, we are required to use maximum and minimum
loads. For this code prescribes different load factors as given below :
a
condition will occur when maximum load (i.e. both DL and LL) covers the whole span
while minimum load (i.e. only DL) is on adjacent spans.
m

(a) consideration may be limited to combination of :
yn
1) Design dead load on all spans will full design live loads on two adjacent spans (for
d
obtaining maximum hogging moment.)
tu
2) Design dead load on all spans with full design imposed load on alternate spans ( to get
maximum span moment.)
S
3) When design imposed load does not exceed three-fourths of the design dead load, the
load arrangement may be design dead load and design imposed load on all the spans.
The loading arrangement giving maximum span moment, say span AB is shown in below
figure 1.a and figure 1.b gives the loading arrangements for maximum negative moment at

PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE
Grade of concrete :-
Concrete is known by its grade which is designated as M15, M20, M25 etc, in
which letter M refers to concrete mix and the number 15, 20, 25 etc. denotes the specified
compressive strength (ƒck) of 150mm size cube at 28 days, expressed in N/mm2. Thus,
concrete is known by its compressive strength. In R.C. work M20, M25 grades of concrete
are common, but higher grades of concrete should be used for severe and very severe and
extreme environment.
Compressive strength :-
Like load the strength of concrete is also a quantity which varies considerably for
the same concrete mix. There fore a single representative value known as characteristic
strength , is arrived at using statistical probabilistic principles.
Characteristic strength :-
It is defined as that value of the strength below which not more than 5% of the
test results are suspected to fall,(i.e., there is 95% probability of achieving this value, or
only 5% probability of not achieving the same).
m

Characteristic strength of concrete in flexural member :-
a
It may be noted that the strength of concrete cube does not truly represent the
m
strength of concrete in flexural member because factors namely, the shape effect, the prism
a
effect, state of stress in a member and casting and curing conditions for concrete in the
yn
member. Taking this into consideration the characteristic strength of concrete in a flexural
member is taken as 0.67times2.6 the strength of concrete cube.
d
tu
Design strength (ƒd) and partial safety factor(γd) for material strength :-
S
The strength to be taken for the purpose of design is known as design strength
and is given by
Design strength (ƒd) = characteristic strength(ƒck)
Partial safety factor for material
Strength (γm)
The value of γm depends upon the type of material and upon the type of limit state.
According to I.S. code,
γm = 1.5 for concrete and γm = 1.15 for steel.
Design strength of concrete in member = 0.67ƒck / 1.5 = 0.446 ƒck ≈ 0.45 ƒck
The estimate of flexural tensile strength or the modulus of rupture or the cracking
strength of concrete from cube compressive strength is obtained from the relation :
ƒcr = 0.7√ ƒck N/mm2
Creep :-
creep strain εcc depends primarily on the duration of sustained loading. According to the
code, the value of ultimate creep coefficient is 1.6 at 28 days of loading.
Shrinkage :-
The property of diminishing in volume during the process of drying and hardening is
termed as shrinkage.
m
o
It depends mainly on the duration of exposure. If this strain is prevented, it produces
c
.
tensile stress in the concrete, and hence concrete develops cracks. The shrinkage is
measured by shrinkage strain, εcc = 0.0003 for design purposes.

The secant modulus obtained by testing a concrete specimen at 28 days under specified

Ece = Ec / (1+ θ)
Where,
Ece = long term modulus of elasticity
θ = creep coefficient.
Effect of the reduction In E ce with time is to increase deflections and cracking with time. it
therefore, plays a very important role in limit state of serviceability and in calculations of
deflection and cracking.
Where,
Es = modulus of elasticity of steel = 2 × 105 N/mm2.
As the modulus of elasticity of concrete changes with time, age at loading etc, the modular
ratio also changes accordingly. IS : Code gives the following expression for the long term
modular ratio also changes accordingly. I.S.Code gives the following expression for the
long term modular ratio taking into account the effects of creep and shrinkage partially.

CONVENTIONAL METHOD :-
This involves determination of positions of columns, position of beams, spanning of slabs, and type of
footing.
Once these preliminaries are over design the frame components starting from slab, followed by beams,
columns and column footings provided sufficient time is provided.
PRACTICAL APPROACH
If the work is to be started urgently, it may be necessary to give the sizes of footing and ground floor columns
first.
In such a case, the design will first be done of footings and columns by estimation of approximate equivalent
axial load on columns, giving sufficient allowance for effect of continuity of slabs and beams, uniaxial /
biaxial bending in columns due to fixity with beam; slenderness of column etc. where ever necessary.

The basis of planning of building is to range all the units a building on the floors
a
according to their functional requirement making best use of the space available
y n
for the building the planning is governed by several factors such as climatic
condition she location,d
accommodation requirements. Local by laws etc.., Three
(1) ASPECT: - Aspect means the method of arrangements of door and windows
in external walls, of a residential building. This enables the occupations to
enjoy the natural gifts. Such as sunshine, breeze, scenery etc., Aspects
provides comfort and is important from any particular direction. Different
rooms in building needs different aspects.
LIVING ROOM: - Most part of the living room should be towards north. It
so because north aspect receives natural north lights which is used in most of
the daytime.
KITCHEN: - Eastern aspect to admit morning sun to refresh and purity me
the air.
STUDY ROOM: - North aspects this make more light to enter and will be
diffused which results in uniform distribution of light.
BED ROOM: - North aspects or southwest aspect is very good for
bedrooms.
(2) PROSPECT: - Prospect in its proper sense is the impression that a person
viewing from outside likely to get. Prospect must not only make outer
appearance attractive but also maintain qualities, such as con~{ort
cheerfulness, security. economy and up to date. One must feel the sense of
pride in having a house, which is pleasing in appearance and is reflecting its
individuality.

In practice spacing is kept between 150mm to 300mm.
S
In case of slabs, design shear may be taken equal to maximum shear Vu.max at support and is given by:-
Vu.max = Wu*L*shear coefficient
= Wu*L/2 for simply supported slab.
Where, Wu = ultimate UDL on slab/ unit width.
In other cases, the maximum shear may be calculated from principles of mechanics.
This may be obtained from the relation (Vuc) = η.bd*k (b=1000mm in case of slabs).
Where Ast = area of tension steel. It is the bottom steel at simply supported end and top steel at
Continous end.
Ast =Ast /2 if alternate bars from mid span are bent to top at simple support.
Check that Vuc > Vu,max. If not increase the depth.
This check for shear is mostly satisfied in all case of slabs subjected to uniformly distributed load and
therefore many times omitted in design calculations.
It may be noted that when the check of shear is obtained, it is not necessary to provide minimum stirrups as
they are required in the case of beams.

DESIGN OF BEAMS:
The designing of the beam mainly consists of fixing the breadth and depth of the
beam and arriving at the area of steel and the diameter of bars to be used. The
breadth of the beam is generally kept equal to the thickness of the wall to avoid
offset inside the room. It shall also not exceed the width of the column for effective
transfer of load from beam to column. The depth of the beam is taken between L/10
to L/16.
The dimensions of the beam that we have chosen are : breadth=230mm and
depth=450mm.
1)Analysis : The beam is analyzed first in order to calculate the internal actions such
as Bending Moment and Shear Force. A simplified substitute frame analysis can be
used for determining the bending moments and shearing forces at any floor or roof
m
level due to gravity loads. The Moment distribution method is used for this purpose.
c o
.
2) Loads: In order to analyze the frame, it is needed to calculate the loads to which
a
the beams are subjected to. The different loadings are as follows:
the shorter side. t u from the longer side while the triangular load comes from
a)Slab on Sthe Right side : The load transferred from the slab on the right side is
denoted as ws2 and the slab from the left side is denoted as ws1.

The equivalent U.D.L to evaluate bending moment from a slab= wlx (1-1/2β)----(2)

Where β=1 for triangular loads & β=ly/lx for trapezoidal loads.

Ast= 338.31mm^2.
Now, maximum shear stress ηcmax = 2.8 N/mm^2 (From table 20 of IS:456-2000)
Hence, η < ηcmax. However, according to the code, we must provide a minimum
shear reinforcement at a spacing of s= (0.87x 415x50.24)/(0.4x230)
= 197.16 mm.

Since Max moment is considered, through analysis we get,

Rax3-(32.72x3x1.5)-18.097+28.77=0 => Ra=45.55 kN; Rb= 52.61 kN
S
Mx= Ra.x-18.097-32.72.x^2/2
Ast= Mact/(0.87.fy.(d-0.42xu))
Mx= Rc.x-13.66-21.04.x^2/2 ;
Ast=4.51 mm^2.
However, in most of the practical cases, the beams are analyzed and designed as
rectangular beams. Only, sometimes where economy is given due consideration, the
beams are designed as T-beams. In this particular project, all the beams are designed
as rectangular beams.

The next step after design of beams is the design of the columns. However, before
proceeding for design of columns, it is necessary to analyze the frame of the
building in order to know how much load is being taken by the column. It is also
sometimes done before design of columns to know the moments to which the beams
are subjected to.
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS:
A brief introduction: We come across various structures in our day to day life
ranging from simple ones like the curtain rods and electric poles to more complex
ones like multistoried buildings, shell roofs, bridges, dams, heavy machineries,
automobiles, aeroplanes and ships. These structures are subjected to various loads
like concentrated loads, uniformly distributed loads, uniformly varying loads,
random loads, internal or external pressures and dynamic forces. The structure
transfers its load to the supports and ultimately to the ground.
Treating an entire structure as a single rigid body and finding the reactions from
supports is the first step in analyzing a structure. While transferring the loads acting
on the structure, the members of the structure are subjected to 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.
It is easier to analyze a multistory building with the help of „frame analysis‟ than
the analysis of individual beams. The frame analysis of roof, ground floor and an
internal frame is done. The results of the internal frame analysis are applied to other
m
internal frames as well and hence the internal forces (namely shear forces and
bending moments) are obtained.
c o
The procedure of „Moment Distribution Method‟ is.used in this case to analyze
the multi storey frame. The following steps may bea taken:
m
a
n
1) Assuming all ends are fixed, find the fixed end moments developed.
2) Calculate distributiony
d
factors for all the members meeting at a joint.
3) Balance a u
moment t
joint by distributing balancing moment(negative of unbalanced
4) Carry over half the distributed moment to the far ends of the members. This
upsets the balance of the joint.
6) Sum up all the moments at a particular end of the member to get final
moment.
If sway is there in the frame, then the following procedure may be adopted.
(a) Assume the sway is prevented by giving external support at beam level.
Carry out analysis as explained above. This is called non-sway analysis.
Considering the free body diagrams of column, find horizontal forces
developed at supports. Then consider the horizontal equilibrium of the entire
system to get force „S‟ developed at additional support assumed at beam
level.
(b) Actually, there is no support at beam level and hence „S‟ is the sway force
moving the beam laterally. For the given sway force, it is difficult to find the
end moments developed. Hence, an arbitrary sway is assumed, say Δ . Then,
fixed end moments developed in column, AB and CD are :

Moment Distribution is carried out to get final moments. Let MAB, MBA, MCD and
MDC be the final values
HA =( MAB + MBA)/L1 and HD = (MCD + MDC)/ L2
Hence, sway force „S‟ acting in this case is obtained by considering horizontal
equilibrium of the frame as shown, we have to multiply by the sway correction
factor k=S/S‟

DESIGN OF COLUMNS:
However, in practice, many times situations arise which require the design of
columns and footings to be given prior to the design of slabs and beams. In such a
case, loads on columns and footings are required to be assessed using judgement
based on past experience and using approximate methods. The loads can be
determined approximately on the basis of floor area shared by each column. These
loads are normally calculated on the higher side so that they are not less than the
actual loads transferred from slabs/beams. In such cases, the design of column is
likely to be uneconomical.
Categorization of columns: This is the first step in designing of the columns because
the procedure for design of columns in each of the three categories is different.
m
(I) Internal columns or Axially loaded columns:
c o
.
Internal columns carrying beams either in all four directions or only in
a
opposite directions are predominantly subjected to axial compression
because moments due to loads on beams on opposite sides balance each
m
other. Judgement should be used to place a column under this category
a
because if spans and/or loads on beams on opposite sides vary
yn
appreciably the beam moments on opposite sides may not balance each
other and the column will be subjected to bending moment and it will be
d
required to place under the second category.
u
t or columns subjected to axial compression and uniaxial
S
(II) Side columns
bending:
Columns along the sides of a building which carry beams either in
three orthogonal directions or a single beam in one direction are
subjected predominantly to axial load and uniaxial bending due to
unbalanced moment transferred from a single beam on one side, while
the moments from the other two beams in opposite directions balance
each other provided their spans and loads on them are nearly equal. If
such columns are to be designed as axially loaded columns using
approximate method, the axial load is required to be increased to account
for the effect of uniaxial bending in column. The load thus arrived is
called equivalent acial load for the purpose of design of column section.
Computation of loads on columns: There are two methods namely for this purpose.
They are:
1) Exact Method: This method is used to compute loads if the beam end shears
are known prior to the column design. These have been calculated while
analyzing the loads on beams and designing them. For columns with axial
compression and uniaxial/biaxial bending, the moments on the columns have
been obtained from the frame analysis by moment distribution method.

area and the load in the area that is borne by that particular column.
yn
Pa= load on column from above
However, above procedure of column loads does not work well when there are
d
number of secondary beams. In such cases, approximate loads are required to be
tu
calculated on beams first and column load are obtained from beam shears.
S
Calculation of Moments in Columns:
The moments in the columns are obtained directly and exactly if the entire structural
frame is analysed using Moment Distribution method. However, if the building
cannot be divided into a number of frames due to peculiar positions of columns, as
in some cases of residential buildings or in building frames in which the connections
are assumed to be simple, the moments in columns at any floor level can be obtained
by considering substitute column frame which consists of only the relevant column
together with connected beams fixed at their far end.
The moment in the column can be calculated using the equation
Mcol=(kc/∑k) x Me
Where kc= stiffness of column under consideration= Ic/Lc
∑k = sum of stiffnesses of members ,eeting at the joint = ∑kc + ∑kb/2
Stiffness of the beams kb shall be reduced to half to account for the effect of
members beyond the adjacent spans being ignored.
Me= unbalanced fixed end moment at the joint.
= wu.L^2/12, if a single beam is rigidly connected to the column on one
side.
= wu1L‟^2/12 – wu2L”^2/12, if two beams will unequal loads or unequal
spans are
rigidly connected on opposite sides of the column.
Me= WuL^2/24, if a single beam is simply connected to column.
Me= Wu1L‟^2/24 – Wu2L”^2/24 , if two beams with unequal loads or unequal
spans are simply connected in opposite sides of the column, in which Wu1 and
Wu2 are the loads and L1, L2 are lengths of the beams on two sides.
The calculated moment in column shall not be less than Mumin. = Pu x emin
When column above and below the floor level are of different sizes with their outer
faces flush, the load from upper column becomes eccentric with respect to the lower
column. However, it may be noted that the moment due to this eccentricity is
opposite to the moment transferred by the beam to the column at that level. This, in
fact results in reduction of the effective moment and hence the moment due to this
eccentricity need not be considered. It needs consideration only when there is no
floor beam in the plane of the offset.
Grouping of Columns: Once the load on each column and effective lengths are
m
determined, the columns in the same category which have total loads on them not
o
varying by more than 10 to 20% and having the same effective lengths may be
c
.
grouped together. In such a case, column carrying maximum load may only be
a
designed in that group and the same section be adopted for all the columns in that
group. This saves the computational efforts and labour, considerably during the
m
execution of work. This is of prime importance in practical design.

yn
Design of column section: The design of column section may be done by any of the
two methods:
d
tu
S
(A) Approximate Equivalent axial load Method: In this approach, total
equivalent axial load is obtained by adding calculated approximate axial
loads. Preliminary section is designed for this total equivalent axial load
using the procedure for design of axially loaded columns. The section so
obtained is later on checked by exact method for actual compression and
bending moment.
(B) Exact Method: This method of designing column depends upon the type
of column (short or slender) and the type of loading and whether the
column is subjected to axial load only or subjected to combined axial
load and uniaxial bending or combined axial load and biaxial bending.
The columns are easy to design using the design aids given in SP-16.
If Leff/h <12, then the column is said to be short and if Leff/h > 12, the column is
slender.
(I) Axially loaded short columns
The column shall be designed as a short axially loaded compression
member if the minimum eccentricity does not exceed 0.05 times the
lateral dimension.
Pu= 0.4.fck.Ac + 0.67.fy.Asc
Where,
Pu= axial load on the member.
fck= characteristic compressive strength of concrete
Ac= Area of concrete
fy= characteristic strength of compression reinforcement
Asc= area of longitudinal reinforcement.
Here Ac= Ag-Asc, where Ag is the total cross sectional area of the
column.
Assume diameter of lateral ties (θtr not less than 5mm or ¼ th the
diameter (θ) of main bar, whichever is greater). Normally, 6mm diameter
ties are used for main bar diameter less than 25mm. Decide the picth s of
ties such „s‟ is not greater than least of (300mm ,width b)

(II) Short columns subjected to axial compression and uniaxial bending:

If the column is subjected to large bending moment M as compared to
yn
axial load P (say e/D = M/(PD) ≥ 0.5), assume bars to be equally placed
on opposite faces like a doubly reinforced section. On the contrary, if P
d
is large compared to bending moment M ( e/D = M/(PD) < 0.5), assume
u
bars to be uniformly placed all around the periphery.
Thesetcharts can be used without significant error for any number of bars
S
greater than 8, provided the bars are equally distributed on the four sides.
It may be noted that the second arrangement requires large area of steel
than that required by the first arrangement. In case of ambiguity of
deciding the arrangement, the second one is definitely safer.

Slender columns : (i) Calculate additional moment due to slenderness.
Obtain Puz and Pub as mentioned earlier.
(ii) Calculate initial moments and obtain total moment Mut. This is now
the design moment for the column accompanied by given Pu.
(iii) Check the safety of column for combined effect of Pu and total
moment Mut using the procedure for axial loading with uni axial
bending.
Note: For safe side, most of the columns, which could be designed as axially loaded
were designed considering them as axially loaded columns with uniaxial bending.
Total axial load from the adjacent beams (i.e the shear forces of the
beams)
= 148.06+ 45.32 +126.24 + 46.59
= 366.21kN
Self weight of the column= 7.11kN
Moments in the column: At top= 18.04kN-m & -5.18kN-m
At Bottom= 17.26kN-m & -1.019 kN-m
From the p/fck value from the chart 44 of SP-16, we get p=0.2%
Now, load on the 4th floor: Load coming from the previous top column+ self
weight of the column + shear force from the adjacent beams

DESIGN OF FOOTINGS:
1) isolated footing
2) rectangular sloped footing.
The footing for an axially loading column of size b*D is designed as an inverted cantilever outstanding from
column and loaded with uniform upward soil pressure. The various steps involved in the design are given
below :-
Initially suitable footing dimensions are required to be selected to ensure that under serviceability conditions
the soil bearing pressure is not exceeded. The maximum load transferred to the soil is equal to axial load on
m
column plus self weight of the footing. Since the size of the footing is unknown, its self weight is assumed to
be equal to 10% of the axial load on the column.

If the axial load(working) on column is P then,

Where

Bf = breadth of the footing.

fb = safe bearing capacity of soil.

Once the area of footingtis known the size of footing gets fixed. The shape of the footing may be square or
Sof the column are equal. This gives approximately the same depth for bending about
rectangular or circular. The size of the rectangular base is selected such that the cantilever projections of the
footing from the faces
x and y axes. The length or breadth of the footing based on equal projection is obtained as under :
Substituting the value of bf in the below equation and solving quadratic equation in Lf we get ,
Select the length of the footing by rounding out the value of Lf,
Comments :
1) In calculating the upward factored soil reaction the self weight of the footing is not considered because
the dead load of the footing acts in the opposite direction of soil pressure and hence does not induce any
moment or shear in the footing
2) The value of Wu will work out to be greater than the bearing capacity of the soil. But this is not unsafe
because the comparison can be made with the upward working soil reaction which can be obtained by
dividing Wu by the load factor of 1.5. then it will be seen that the value of working soil reaction so
obtained (Wu/1.5) will be less than the bearing capacity of the soil.
