Analysis and Design of Multistorey Building

Abstract

The primary focus of this research is to analyze and design a multi-storey building (3D-dimensional reinforce concrete frame), the designing of building begins with making the plan of specific building which include the position of rooms, kitchen, toilet etc. the design should be such that it is up to mark of customer requirements and comport nowadays vastu shastra is also kept in mind while designing. The second step is to design the reinforced concrete part which includes designing of slabs, columns, beams, staircase and footing these designing’s were done manually and all the calculations were done according ACT code and the outcomes were compared using STAAD PRO. I design an office building which is made of reinforced concrete frames and the building has three floors with 12 offices on each floor which sum up to 36 offices and the maximum area of a floor is (21.9*40.9) m2. To complete the architectural design, I AutoCAD program and for analyzing and designing the structure of building I used software known as STAAD Pro v8iSSS.and after both the designing I got the results as the map of a building which is architectural and structural safe. For designing the structural plan and architectural design one requires high imagination power as well as theoretical knowledge and also keen knowledge of science of structural engineering and should know the recent design codes, laws and before designing he should have adequate experience and mind set to reach conclusion. STAAD PRO is a very user friendly software it is and easy to understand and operate. We can input the material properties, load value, dimensions and we can also draw the frame within the software and after taking all the data it analyze the whole structure and design the member with reinforced detail for concrete frame and all the designs are done under specified criteria. These criteria are implemented to keep careful balance between economy and safety.
