Summary
This report comprises the summary of the structure design of residential building of Mrs.
Sunita Limbu, ward no.-15, Dharan Sub-Metropolitan. The Report consists of design
procedures adopted, assumptions made, the inputs made in the design. During design it is
assumed that the construction will be supervised by a professional engineer.

The designer will not be responsible if any alteration or changes to the structural system is
made by the client or contractor without the prior written permission from the designer, or the
alternations to the non-structural system is made such that the weight of each individual floor
or the weight of the whole building is altered by more than 10% of design weight of each floor
and the total weight.

The design calculations and derivations are limited to only a minimum to let the concerned
people know the methodology adopted. However, the calculations may be provided to the
client or concerned authorities when needed, upon request.

The building is newly designed conforming to 1994 Nepal National Building code, and expects
underlying intent of Life Safety performance under design earthquake.

1. Background

This report summarizes the structural analysis and design of building of Mrs. Sunita Limbu, ward no.-15. It
has planned to utilize the building as a residential purpose except 2 rooms in ground floor which is for
commercial purpose. The structural analysis in this building considers G+2 story with staircase cover (one
floor for future extension). 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. Structural Analysis of the concerned building has
been done in details with analysis and designs.
The analysis and design has been based on the prevailing codes that are in practice in Nepal, the National
Building code of Nepal (105:1994) and the IS code at places if required. This report consists of the design
procedures adopted, the assumptions made, the inputs made in the design and the design output.

Assumptions
The following assumptions are taken into consideration in the seismic resistant analysis and design of
structures:
Adequate supervision and quality systems are provided during execution of the works.
Construction is carried out by personnel having the appropriate skill and experience.
Construction materials and products confirm to the pertinent codes and specifications.
The structure is adequately maintained.
The structure is used in accordance with the design brief.
An earthquake is not likely to occur simultaneously with maximum flood, wind, waves or tides.
Resonance as visualized under steady state sinusoidal excitation will not occur, as the small duration of
earthquake is not enough to build up resonance amplitudes. Subsoil does not considerably settle or slide
due to earthquake at the site of structure.
This report is divided into three chapters. Chapter one begins with introductions and general description
Chapter two comprises the numerical modeling, analysis and design; Chapter three presents the summary and
recommendations

2.1 Modeling
The analysis has been carried out with the most popular and reliable structural analysis software ETABS
2016. All the models are built up in 3-Dimensions and actual 3-D analysis is performed ETABS 2016 is
based on Finite Element Method. Modulus of elasticity and poisons ratio for the materials used are taken
accordingly. Beams and columns are modeled as frame (line) elements with sufficient and appropriate
meshing. The section properties used are based on preliminary section sizing with consideration for deflection,
minimum sizing specified and serviceability.
The buildings are modeled as a series of load resisting elements. The lateral loads to be applied on the buildings
are based on the Nepal National Building Code. The study is performed for seismic region Dharanu (z = 1) as
per NBC 105: 1994. The building sadopted consist fo reinforced concrete and brick masonry elements. The
frames are assumed to be firmly fixed at the bottom and the soil-structure interaction is neglected.

2.2 Analysis
Three dimensional Static Linear Analysis has been carried out using the standard software ETABS 2016.The
structure is assumed to be fixed at the foundation level. The brick wall is considered as the filler wall only. The
beams are modeled as rectangurlar beams. The flange effect of the beams has been neglected. Center to center
dimension of the structure has been considered in the analysis. The rigid end effect has also been considered in
the analysis.
Following tables summarizes the analysis output of the modelled structure.

2.3 Design
The aim of structural design is the achievement 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.
Therefore, Limit state method is used for the design of RCC elements. The design is based on IS: 456-2000,
SP16, IS: 1893-2002, and Reinforced Concrete Designers Handbook are extensively used in the process of
design. Foundation design is carried out to satisfy strength and stability requirements.
The space frame is considered as a special moment resisting frame (SMRF) with a special detailing to provide
ductile behavior at every joint between beams and columns and in other parts to get ductility and comply with
the requirements given in IS 13920:1993, Hand book on Concrete Reinforcement and Detailing SP: 34 and
NBC 201:1994.
The provision of shear reinforcement is sufficient so that shear failure mode is avoided moreover there will
be failure in flexure since this is more ductile. Hence the design philosophy of Strong Column and weak
beam. Bearing capacity of the soil was assumed to be 150 kN/m2. Raft foundation is adopted. Durable M20
concrete has been used in the foundation which is in contact with the soil. Ductile detailing has been
extensively adopted while detailing. The design out put has been presented in the form of structural drawing.

3. Summary

This report is outcome of structural analysis and design of the residential building of Mrs. Sunita Limbu, ward
no.-15, Dharan Sub-Metropolitan.
Three dimensional static linear analysis has been carried out using the standard software ETABS 2016.
The design of the members has been done as per philosophy of limit state method. For the design of the
members IS 456: 2000 and aid SP 16 has been extensively used. Ductile detailing has been extensively adopted
while detailing. The design out put has been presented in the form of structural drawing.

Building which are properly planned, designed and constructed has a good capacity to withstand earthquakes.
Past earthquakes have shown that well designed buildings have withstood earthquakes well. Earthquake
resistant design of the building costs money. The total cost of the building may be increase. The owners of
the building should bear this in mind and be mentally prepared to invest this extra cost.
