Project Guide

The primary reason for such a

construction is the increase in population
which requires better construction
methods in the hilly area. The site lies in
the rich vegetation zone and thus proper
utilization of the available land resources
is necessary for sustainable and economic
development.

ABSTRACT
The aim of this project is planning, analysis and design of a multipurpose building based on step back set back system on hill slope and using green building concept to study the behavior
of reinforced concrete building of step back set back system with columns of different heights. Sustainability constraints of the project were met by the green building concepts
implementation to minimize the adverse effect on environment. Environment constraints like slope and seismic prone location of the project site were overcome by proper dynamic and
static analysis for the design frame of the building. Safety constraints like short column effects were considered during the designing of building and proper safety measures were adopted.

MULTI DISCIPLINARY COMPONENTS

The Public Works Department and Electricity

Board provided assistance in the form of schematic
maps showing the placement of pre-existing
utilities such as power mains, water and sewage
pipelines. These played a key role in the planning
of the residential building.

CONCLUSION
Step back set back system provides better way of construction of
structure along the slope where plain ground in difficult to find.
Planning is done to serve multipurpose aspects like education,
residence and health care.
Designed structure is safe against the seismic force due to earthquakes
that are more likely to occur on hilly region.
Columns have been designed properly to counter the short column
effect due to its varying size along the slope.
Building has been made sustainable with incorporation of green
building features and thus reduces the impact on the environment.

FUTURE SCOPE
This project provides better construction methods
on hill slopes that provides better stability against
seismic forces in hilly areas and the green building
features help maintain the ecosystem.
