  • To understand the effect of seismic load on the building.
  • To properly Detail various structural elements.
  • To design a Foundation.

To Understand the various Indian Standards for the design of structure

GENERAL

The basic objective in structural analysis and design is to ensure that a structure is safe, stable, and capable of resisting the loads to which it will be subjected during its intended use. This includes considering the types and magnitudes of the loads that the structure will experience, as well as the materials and design methods that will be used to resist those loads.

In order to achieve this objective, structural engineers use a variety of tools and techniques, including computer software programs, to analyze and design structures in a way that meets the required safety standards and performance criteria. Structural analysis and design also consider other factors, such as the cost of materials and construction, the aesthetics of the structure, and the environmental impact of the design.

There are many classical methods to solve design problems, but these manual calculations are hectic and time-consuming but with time new software’s also comes into play which eases the analysis and designing process. Here in this project work, software like E-TABS, AUTO CAD, MS-EXCEL and SAFE has been used to design a 7-storey school building has been designed.

Different countries have their own structural design codes, these codes are important to become aware of local requirements or recommendations regarding correct practice. This report explores the different Indian Standard code books for the same.

LOAD CALCULATION

A characteristic load is defined as that value of load that has a 95% probability of not being exceeded during the life of the structure. The characteristic value of a particular load can be calculated theoretically. However, research for determining actual loading on structures has not yielded adequate data to enable us to compute theoretical values of variations for arriving at the actual loading on a structure.

IS 456:2000 states that ‘since the data are not available to express loads in statistical terms, the dead loads (DL) given in IS 875 (Part 1), imposed load (IL) or live load (LL) given in IS 875(Part 2), wind loads (WL) in IS 875 (Part 3), snow load as given in IS 875 (Part 4) and seismic forces (EL) given in IS 1893 shall be assumed as the characteristic loads’.

When accessing the strength of a structure or structural member for the limit state of collapse, the value s of partial safety of factor, γm should be taken as 1.5 For concrete and 1.15 for steel.

A higher value of partial safety factor (γmc = 1.5) for concrete has been adopted because there are greater chances of variation of the strength of concrete due to improper compaction, inadequate curing, improper batching and mixing, and variations in properties of ingredients.

The chances of variations in the strength of reinforcement are known to be small and hence a lower value (γms = 1.15) has been adopted. It is also to be noted that γm values are already incorporated in the equations and tables given in IS 456: 2000. Similarly, for loads also the partial factor of safety as per IS 456:2000 (Table 18) are given as Follows

LOADING PARAMETERS

DEAD LOAD

According to Hibbeler R.C. (2012), Dead load consists of the weights of the various structural members and the weights of any objects that are permanently attached to the structure. Hence, for a building, the dead loads include the weight of the columns, beams, and girders, the floor slab, roofing, walls, windows, plumbing, electrical fixtures, and other miscellaneous attachments. According to IS 456:2000 (Cl. 19.2), dead loads shall be calculated on the basis of unit weights which shall be established taking into consideration the materials specified for construction. Alternatively, the dead loads may be calculated on the basis of unit weights of materials given in IS 875(Part 1)- 1987.

As per IS 875 (Part 1)-1987, the unit weights of various dead loads considered in the presented design are as follows:

Self-Weight

Self-weight as per IS-875 (Part-1) 1987 of the structural members will be considered on the basis of the following criteria.

Table 2.4 Density of concrete25 kN/cum
Density of Light weight block walls8   kN/cum
Density of soil filling20 kN/cum
Density of steel78.5 kN/cum
Density of plain concrete/screed24 kN/cum
Density of Plaster20 kN/cum

Toilets2.0 kN/sqm
Terrace Live Load (Accessible)1.5 kN/sqm
Terrace Live Load (Inaccessible)0.75 kN/sqm
Lift4.0 kN/sqm

Wind loads on Building

Building and their components are to be designed to withstand the code-specified wind loads. Calculating wind loads is important in design of wind force-resisting system. Structural members, components, and cladding shall be designed against wind-induced shear, sliding, overturning, and uplift actions.

In effect of the above-mentioned issues, structural design shall be made in such a way that wind forces shall not create discomfort to occupants of the building.

According to IS: 875 (Part-3):2015, wind loads on structures are calculated using the basic wind speed (Vb) and the importance factor (I) for the location where the structure is to be built. The basic wind speed is a measure of the wind speed at a reference height above the ground, and it is used to determine the wind loads that a structure will be subjected to.

The importance factor (I) is a factor that accounts for the importance of the structure and the consequences of failure, and it is used to increase or decrease the wind loads based on the function and significance of the structure. The wind loads are then used to design the structure to resist the wind loads in accordance with the provisions of the standard.

Wind loads will be calculated in accordance with wind load code IS 875: Part 3 corresponding to a basic wind velocity of 50 m/sec and Terrain Category 3.

Dynamic loads have been calculated based on wind code IS 875- Part 3 recommendations. Dynamic load factors for along wind and crosswind have been calculated and applied at floor diaphragms incorporating Gust Factor as per IS 875:2015(Part-3).

EARTHQUAKE LOAD

Load refers to the lateral forces that act on a structure due to the ground shaking caused by an earthquake. Earthquake loads are typically characterized by their intensity, frequency, and duration, and can have significant effects on the strength and stability of a structure.

It is important to consider earthquake loads in the design of a structure, particularly in areas that are prone to earthquakes, as a structure that is not adequately designed to resist earthquake loads may be at risk of collapse or significant damage. In order to design a structure to resist earthquake loads, structural engineers may use a variety of tools and techniques, including computer modeling and analysis, to determine the expected earthquake loads and the appropriate design measures to resist those loads.

The total vibration caused by an earthquake may be resolved into three mutually perpendicular directions, usually taken as vertical and two horizontal directions. The movement in a vertical direction does not cause forces in the superstructure to any significant extent. However the horizontal movement of the building at the time of the earthquake is to be considered while designing. It shall be computed as accordance with IS 1893.

TIME PERIOD CALCULATION

The natural period of building, for analysis purposes is calculated using the expression given in clause 7.6.2 of IS: 1893-2016, as below:

For School Building,

Time Period, Tx (Along X Direction) = (0.09 * h)/ Sqrt (dx)=0.338 second

Time Period, Tz (Along Z Direction) (0.09 * h)/ Sqrt (dy)= 0.7.6 second

Time period has been calculated as per Clause 7.6.2 (a) of IS: 1893 (Part I: 2016)

As per Indian code IS 1893, lies in Zone IV. Hence Zone Factor Z = 0.24

Importance Factor I will be considered as 1.5

The weighted average of corrected N-value of soil upto 1.5XWidth of foundation depth below the foundation level is greater than 30 for the tower foundations.  Hence as per Table 4, IS-1893:2016 Soil Type is considered as Type 2 (Medium Soil)

Response Reduction Factor, R = 5.0

MODELLING

Structural Plan

A structural plan is a detailed technical drawing that shows the structural design of a construction project. It typically includes information about the size and location of the building’s foundation, walls, floors, and roof, as well as details about the materials that will be used in these structural elements.

A structural plan may also include information about the load-bearing capacity of the various structural elements, as well as any special requirements or considerations for the design. A structural plan is primarily concerned with the load carrying members, size of members and material used in a building. It is based on the information provided by the AutoCAD drawings. The following steps are to be followed for the analysis of structure in E-tabs

STEP 1: Placement of columns and grids according to the plan.

 STEP 5: Base shear check in E-tabs is performed to verify that the structure is capable of resisting the lateral forces generated by earthquakes, winds, or other lateral loads. The base shear check is usually performed using load combinations specified in the relevant design codes and standards. The following steps are involved in performing a base shear check in Etabs:

The following steps are involved in performing a base shear check in Etabs:

  1. Run the analysis: Perform a static linear or non-linear analysis to determine the lateral forces acting on the structure.
  2. Review the results: Review the results of the analysis, including the base shear, drift, and story shear diagrams.
  3. Compare with code requirements: Compare the calculated base shear with the code- specified maximum base shear for the structure. The base shear should be less than or equal to the maximum specified base shear.
  4. Verify the design of critical elements: Verify that the design of critical elements such as beams, columns, and braces is adequate to resist the calculated base shear.
  5. Repeat the analysis if necessary: If the calculated base shear is greater than the code- specified maximum, revise the model, re-run the analysis, and repeat the checks until the base shear is within the acceptable limits.

DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL MEMBER

Design of Slabs

The design of a slab using the Indian Standard code (IS) involves the following steps:

1. Determine the purpose and type of slab.

2. Establish the loads on the slab. This includes the dead load (weight of the slab itself, any finishes, and permanent fixtures), live load (variable loads such as people and furniture), and any imposed loads (such as wind or earthquakes).

3. Determine the size and spacing of the slab’s reinforcing steel, based on the loads and the size and spacing of the slab’s support beams.

4. Calculate the thickness of the slab using the established loads, the size and spacing of the reinforcing steel, and the strength of the slab’s concrete and reinforcing steel.

5. Detailing of the slab includes the placement of the reinforcing steel and any other elements (such as expansion joints or drainage channels) that are required for the slab’s proper function.

It is important to note that the design of a slab using the IS code will depend on the specific requirements of the structure, as well as local building codes and site-specific conditions.

It is recommended to consult with a structural engineer or other qualified professional to ensure that the slab is designed and constructed safely and effectively.

In this project 11 types of slabs are defined as slab S1 to S10 in which are two-way slabs Slab 1 have been designed manually for the reference of calculation and slab S2 to S10 has been designed using MS-Excel.

Manual calculation for slab panel-1 for the reference of calculation

Slab panel (S1) – Two-way slab

: DIMENSIONS

Longer span (ly) = 8.2 Shorter span (lx) = 5.7

Fck= 30 MPa

Fy= 500 MPa

Clear cover = 20 mm

Dia = 12 mm

Slab is one end edge continuous

Step 1 Check for one way slab or two way slab

 Ly/Lx =   8.2/5.7 = 1.44 which is less than 2 that mean it isa two way slab

Step 2 Determine effective depth (d)

d= shorter span/ basic value * modification factor

d= 5700/(26*1.3) = 168.63mm    

D = d + clear cover + dia/2 = 168+20 + 12/2 = 194 mm

Step 3 Effective span

 Leff = clear span + effective depth

                     Or

                Centre to centre distance

Take whichever is minimum. 

Effective span for shorter span (Leff x) = 5.7+0.169= 5.869 m

Effective span for longer span (Leff y ) = 8.7+0.169 =8.869 m

Step 4 Design Load (Wu)

Self weight of slab = D*unit weight of rcc* 1 m length

                              = 0.194 *25 *1 = 4.85KN/m

Live Load = 3*1 = 3KN/m

Floor Finishes = 1.5 KN/m

Total Load = 4.85+3+1.5 = 9.35KN/m

Factored design load (Wu) = 9.35 *1.5 = 14.02 KN/m    (Load factor = 1.5)  

Moment coefficients (IS 456:2000)

-ve moment at the continuous edgeShort span coefficient (αx)Long span coefficient (αy)
+ve moment at mid-span0.05860.047
+ve moment at mid span0.0440.035

Step 5 Design Moment and Shear Force

Mx= αx*Wu*leffx2

My= αy*Wu*leffy2

Mx (+)= 0.044*14.02*5.8692=21 KNm

Mx(-)=0.0586*14.02*5.8692=28.3 KNm

My(+)= 0.035*14.02*8.8692=38.59 KNm

My(-) = 0.047*14.02*8.8692=51.83 KNm

Take maximum moment for calculation of dreq and area of steel

Max. Shear force = 12.75*4.634/2=29.54 KN

Step 6  Minimum depth required

dreq = 98.70 mm which is less than 134mm. So, adopt d= 134mm

Step 7 Design for main reinforcement

Along shorter span in X- direction (Middle strip)

Width of middle strip = ¾*ly=¾*8.869=6.65 m

Mux= 0.87*Fy*Ast*d [1-(Ast*Fy/b*d*Fck)]

From above equation we get

Ast = 301.69 mm2

Using 10 mm bar , Aφ= π*82/4=58.3mm2

Spacing = 1000*Aφ/Ast= 177.93mm

Max Spacing = minimum of (3d=400mm or 300mm) = 300mm

177.93 mm < 300 mm

           Hence OK

Taking spacing = 170 mm

Ast min = 0.12 *b*D/1000= 192 mm2

Ast provided = 1000*50.3/170 = 295.88 mm2>192mm2

                Hence OK

Provide 8mm spacing centre to centre at a middle strip of 4.0755 m

Along longer span in y direction (middle strip)

Middle strip = ¾*lx= ¾*5.869=4.40 m

Muy= 0.87*Fy*Ast*d [1-(Ast*Fy/b*d*Fck)]

From above equation we get

Ast =312.67 mm2

Using 8 mm bar, Aφ= 50.3 mm2

Spacing = 1000*Aφ/Ast= 160.87 mm

Max Spacing = minimum of (3d=400mm or 300mm) = 300mm >160.87 mm.

Hence OK

Provide 8mm spacing centre to centre at a middle strip of 3.4755 m

Step 7 Check for shear

Nominal shear stress (Zv) = Vu/b*d

                  = 39.95*10^3/1000*134=0.22N/mm2

Pt= 100*Ast/b*d= 0.220 %

Zc= 0.356 N/mm2   (From IS 456:2000 Table 19)

Zc max = 4 N/mm2 (From IS 456:2000 Table 20)

K= 1.3 for 150 mm thick slab

K*Zc= 0.4628> Zc.

Hence, no need of shear reinforcement.

Step 8 Check for deflection

Pt= 0.22%

Fs = 0.58 Fy * Ast required/ Ast provided = 290

Modification factor = 1.35 (From IS 456:200 Fig 4)

(l/d) max = 26*1.35 = 35.1

(l/d) provided =4.634/.134= 34.58

(l/d) provided <(l/d) max  

 Hence OK.

Step 9 Torsional R/F at corner

Mesh size = lx/5= 5869/5=1173.8 say 1175mm

Area of torsional reinforcement = ¾*295.88= 221.91 mm2

Aφ=50.3 mm2

Spacing = 1000*50.3/221.91=226.66 mm

Take 220

Provide 10mm mesh of bars @100mm c/c in a mesh

Fck = 40MPa    Fy= 500MPa

DESIGN CHECK

  1. Check for axial stress

Highest factored axial force= 820.4 KN

Factored Max axial stress = 820.4*1000/300*450

              =6.077 MPa <0.4 Fck i.e,16 MPa

                   (Cl 7.1 IS 13920:2016)

Hence design as a column member.

  • Check for member.

Width of column =700mm≥ 300 Hence OK  (Cl 7.1.1IS 13920:2016)

D= 450 mm

B/D=700/1000=0.7>0.4

Hence OK (Cl 7.1.2 IS 13920:2016)

Span L = 3700 mm

Slenderness Ratio = span/lateral dimension=3700/1000=3.7<12

Thhis means that it is a short column.

  • Check for limiting longitudinal R/F

Minimum R/F = 0.8% of b*D

                            = 5600 mm2

Max R/F= 4% of b*D

              = 2800mm2

  • Design for earthquake in X direction

Pu=820.4KN

Mu2= 31 KNm

Pu/FckbD= 820.4*1000/40*700*1000= 0.029

d’= 30 +10+25/2= 52.5

                     Mu2/fckbD2= 104.86*106/30*700*10002= 0.0049

d’/D=52.5/450=0.116

From Chart 48 of SP 16 we get p/fck=0.04

  • Design of earthquake in y direction

Pu= 820.4 KN

Mu3= 80.87 KNm

Pu/FckbD= 0.34

Mu3/Fckb D2=0.013

From chart 48 of SP 16 , we get p/Fck=0

Take larger p/Fck  i.e 0.04

Therefore, the value of p = 0.5%

As= 0.5*1000*1000 = 5000mm2

The above value is less than minimum reinforcement of column hence provide

As = 9600 mm2

Hence provide 24 number 25 mm diameter bars and 6 number of 20 mm bars The provided reinforcement is less than maximum area of steel.

Hence OK

Flexure reinforcement value of column in E-tabs

Design of transverse reinforcement

According to Clause 7.4.2 IS 13920 2016.

• Diameter of bar should not be less than 8 mm when diameter of main reinforcement is less than 32 mm

• Maximum spacing of parallel legs shall be 300 mm C/C

• Closed links shall have 135o hook ends with an extension of 6 times its diameter but not less than 65 mm at each end, which are embedded in the confined core of column.

• Spacing of lateral ties should not be more than half the least lateral dimension. Let us provide 10 mm lateral ties.

Spacing = 175 mm < 200 mm Hence OK

Provide 10 mm diameter bars at 175 mm C/C.

STEP 5: Confining reinforcement

Special confining reinforcement should be provided over a length lO from each joint face, towards mid height. The length l0 should not be less than

•          Larger lateral dimension of member = 1000 mm

•          One-sixth of clear span = 4500/6 = 750 mm

•          450 mm

Therefore, lO = 1200 mm

Area of confining reinforcement should be greater than

image 17 Analysis And Design of Seven Storey School Building

Using confining reinforcement bars to be of 10 mm in diameter, Ash = 78.5mm2

Diameter of core Dk = 700 – 2×40 + 2×10 = 640 mm

Dk = 1000 – 2×40 + 2×10 = 940 mm

Area of core Ak =940×640=601600mm2 Gross area Ag = 400×1400 =1200000 mm2

H= 940/2 = 470

The Values from manual calculation and reinforcement value from E-tabs is nearly same so providing  reinforcement value from E-tabs only

Minimum spacing is given by

•           Minimum dimension of column=1000 mm

•           6 times diameter of smallest longitudinal reinforcement bars = 6×20=120 mm

•           100 mm

Hence provide confining links of 10 mm diameter at 65 mm C/C at a distance of 500 mm from each joint end

Shear reinforcement value of Beam in E-tabs

Beam chosen B1 from Floor 1 Etabs Beam no B117

Dimension of Beam = 0.4*0.6 m

Length of beam = 4438

Fy=500 MPa

Fck= 40MPa

Check for Axial Stress

Factored axial force = 0KN

Factored axial stress= 0 MPa< 0.08Fck=2.4 MPa.  {Cl 6.1 IS 13920:2016}

Hence OK

Check for member size.

Width of beam, B=200 mm =200 mm {Cl 6.1.2 IS 13920:2016}

D=450mm

B/D=200/450=0.44 >0.3 Hence OK    {Cl 6.1.1 IS 13920:2016}

L/D= 4438/450=9.86 >4   Hence OK    {Cl 6.1.3 IS 13920:2016}

Check for Limiting Longitudinal R/F

Clear cover=30mm, Stirrup dia=8mm

 d= 450-30-8-20-20/2= 382 mm

Minimum R/F = 0.24 sqrFck/Fy= 0.24 Sqr40/500= 0.30%

             i.e 0.30*200*382/100= 229.2 mm2      {Cl 6.2.1(b) IS 13920:2016}

Max R/F is 2.5%= 2.5*200*382/100= 1910 mm2     {Cl 6.2.2 IS 13920:2016}

Design for hogging Moment

Mu= 48.7KNm

Mu/bd2= 48.7*106/200*3822=1.67

From Table 56 of SP 16 we get

d’/d=68/382= 0.17

Ast at top =1.135%1.

             = 1.135*200*382/100= 867.14 mm2

This is greater than minimum R/F(229.2) and less than Maximum R/F(1910).

Asc at bottom is 0.003%, but Asc must be atleast 50% of Ast, Hence revise to 1.135/2 =0.5675%       {Cl 6.2.3IS 13920:2016}

Hence Asc at bottom = 0.5675*200*382/100=433.57 mm2

Design for Sagging Moment

Mu=27.091 KNm

The beam is designed as T beam.

 The limiting capacity of T- beam assuming xu <Df and xu < xumax.

Mu= 0.87Fy*Ast*d(1- Ast*Fy/bf*d*Fck)

Df= depth of flange = 125mm

xu= depth of neutral axis

xumax. = limiting value of neutral axis

xumax. =0.46*d=0.48*382= 175.72 mm says 176 mm

bw= width of rib = 200 mm

bf= effective width of flange

  = Lo/6 +bw + 6Df = 1467.77 mm

By solving equation, Mu= 0.87Fy*Ast*d (1- Ast*Fy/bf*d*Fck)

Ast at bottom = 433.57 mm2

It is required to check design assumption before finalizing the reinforcement.

xu= 0.87Fy*Ast/0.36Fck*bf

      = 3.77 mm

xu< Df ,  xu< xumax  . Hence OK

Asc at top not required, But Asc must be at least 50% of Asc hence revise to 183.5/2= 91.75 mm2                       {Cl 6.2.3IS 13920:2016}

Required Reinforcement

Top reinforcement required is larger of 867mm2 and 433.57mm2. Here provide 867 mm2.

Bottom Reinforcement required is larger of 433.57 mm2 and 183 mm2. Here provide 433.57 mm2

Design for shear

The required capacity of shear reinforcement at the left end, right end and middle portion of the beam are 76.93KN,47.0096KN and 74.2637KN.

Therefore, Vus/d’=76.93/68= 1.13

From Table 62 of SP 16

Considering 6mm φ, Spacing= 100mm

Provide 100 mm at right and left end of beam.

At middle, Vus/d’=47.0096/68=0.7

From Table 62 of SP 16

Considering 6mm φ, Spacing= 120mm

As per CL 6.3.5.2 of IS 13920 :2016 the spacing of stirrup in middle portion shall not exceeds d/2=382/2=191 mm

Provide 120 mm at right and left end of beam.

Minimum Reinforcement (Cl 26.5.1.6-IS456:2000)

Sv=[Latex] frac{Asv0.87fy}{04*350} [/Latex]=257mm.>0.75d(210mm)

As per Cl 6.3.5 IS13920:2016,Spacing of links over a length of 2d at either end of a beam shall not exceed

d/4=95.5mm.

6×16=96mm

100mm.

Hence, provide @90mm c/c @2-legged stirrups from 2d length left and right corner.

Design of Staircase

Staircase is designed as a dogged leg staircase; landing slab is supported on sides.

Proportioning of various dimensions of staircase

Available width of staircase=3.3m

Considering 2 flights of dogged staircase, let us assume width of each flight as 1.5m

Space between two flights= 3.3- 2*1.5= 0.3 m

Floor to floor height = 3.7 m

As there will be two flights, each flight will have height of 3.7/2= 1.85 m

Assume height of riser 150 mm as it is residential building.

Number of risers = 1500/150=10

 Number of treads required = Number of riser -1 = 9

Let width of each tread = 266mm

Total going = 266 *8 = 2394 mm say 2400 mm

Total Length available = 5400m

Width of each landing = (5.4-2.4)/2= 1.5m

Staircase Detail Elevation Plane Show in Annexure 1

Effective span of flight= Centre to centre distance of walls

=5400+230*.5+23*.5=5630mm

Thickness of waist slab = 1/20 of Effective span= 5630/20=281.5mm

Let us take, d=280mm

D= 280+25=305mm

Loads

  • Waist slab

Weight of waist slab in plan (per m width of flight) = D[Latex] sqrt{1+R^2/2T} [/Latex]*25= 8.525kN/m

Weight of steps (per m width of flight) = 25RT/ 2T= 1.875KN/m

Total dead load = 8.525+1.875= 10.4 KN/m

Live Load = 3KN/m per width of staircase

Total Load=Dead load +Live Load=10.4+3=13.4KN/m

Factored load= 1.5 *13.4= 20.1 KN/m

  • Landing

Dead load of slab= 0.305 *1.0*25= 7.625 KN/m

Live load on Slab = 3*1 = 3KN/m per m width of landing

Total Load = 10.625 KN/m

Factored load = 1.5 *10.625 =15.9375KN/m

  Load diagram of the stair shall be as follows.

Design Moment

Reaction at supports, Ra=Rb=49.86KN

Bending moment at mid span, Mu =59.736KNm

Mulim= 0.138 Fckbd2 For Fy= 415

Maximum bending moment allowed for a singly reinforced section with Fe500 bars

Mulim=0. 133fck.b.d2= 417.1KNm>59.736KNm .

Hence section can be designed as singly reinforced.

Area of reinforcement

 Mu= 0.87FyAst d (1-AstFy/bdFck)

59.736*106= 0.87*500*Ast*280(1- Ast*500/1000*280*40)

Calculating Ast from given equation we get Ast= 501mm2

Using 12φ bar, Aφ=113mm2

Spacing= 113*1000/501 =225.74mm

Hence provide 12 φ bars @ 200mm c/c

Distribution steel @0.12% = 0.12*1000*305/100=366mm2

Spacing of 10φ bars= 78.5*1000/366=214.48mm

Provide 10φ @ 200 mm c/c.

Fck= 40 N/mm2.

Fy= 500N/mm2.

Load calculation

Axial service load = 1620.112KN

Self-weight of footing 10% of axial service load = 162.01 KN

Total = 1620.11 +162.01 =1782.12 KN

Area of footing

A = 1782.12/250 = 7.128 m2

Providing square footing of sides = [Latex] sqrt{7.128} [/Latex]= 2.7 m

Factored soil pressure due to column load only

Pu= 1.5 *1620.11/2.7*2.7=333.35KN/m2

Calculation of depth of footing.

Depth of footing is calculated on the following basis:

  1. Based on one-way shear criterion.
  2. Based on two-way criterion.
  3. Based on bending moment criterion.

Take maximum depth that is calculated from above three criteria .

1-Based on one way shear criterion;

 Critical section shall be at a distance d from the face of the column .

Shear force due to factored soil pressure at critical section

    =2.7*333.35[(2.7 -0.3)/2 -d]

    =1080.054-900.045d …………………………………………….eq (1)

Assuming 0.2% steel            {From Table 19 of IS 456 :2000}

Zc=0.33N/m2

Shear force resisted by the section = 0.34*106*2.7*d/103

                                                         = 941.4d ……………………eq (2)

Equate equation (1) and (2) we get

     d=0.592m

2-Depth of footing by two way shear criterion;

Considering critical section is at d/2 from the face of column

Shear force at critical section = 333.35 *[2.7*2.7- (0.3 +d)*(0.45+d)]

       =333.35(7.29-0.135-75d-d2) …………………………………..eq (3)

Max allowed shear stress = 0.25Analysis And Design of Seven Storey School Building =1581.1KN/m2

Shear force resisted =1581.1*d [2(0.45+d)+(0.3+d)] ……………eq(4)

Equate equation 3 and 4 we get d

 D= 0.43 m

3- Based on the bending Moment criterion

Critical section is at face of column. 

Bending moment at the critical section

Mux=333.35*106*2.7/8 *(2.7-0.45)2

Mux= 570.56KNm

Muy=333.35*106*2.7/8 *(2.7-0.3)2

=648.03KNm

By taking maximum moment.

d= [Latex] sqrt{648.03frac{10^6}{0.13340*2700}} [/Latex]  =0.212m

The maximum value of d from all above criteria is 592mm.

    Take d= 600 mm

D =600+75+16/2 =683mm say 690 mm

Area of reinforcement

Mu = 0.87FyAstd (1- AstFy/bdFck)

From the above equation, we calculate the Ast

Ast= 2487.64 mm2

Provide 16 mm bars , Aφ= 201 mm2

Spacing = 201*2700/2487.64=218mm

Provide 16 mm bars@ 200mm c/c in each direction

Check for development length

Ld=0.87*Fy*φ/4*Zbd                {Table 26.2.1.1}

     = 0.87*500*16/4*3.04= 572.37 mm

Available lengths of bars = (2.7-0.300)/2 *1000= 1200mm

                          Hence OK.
