Introduction
Now a days it is being practical to choose types of structural members for different criterias
especially economy after assuring safety.
So in this particular project we have determined the cost variation for solid and pre-cast floor
system. To do this we have passed many steps.
This paper is prepared in partial fulfillment for the B.Sc. degree in civil engineering. The project
is a structural design of a G+4 commercial building with solid and pre-cast slab systems with
cost estimation & comparison for each staff. The building is located in Mekelle city. The
structural design consists of the design of roof truss, Slabs, Staircase, Beams, Columns and
foundation. The cost estimation comprises of cost for slabs, beams, columns and footings with
their respective formwork.
As can be seen from the architectural drawing, the floor arrangement is typical for all floors
except some modification on the cantilever parts.
For the solid type we first determine depth for deflection and made analysis for dead and live
load as EBCS recommends. During the design of beams, columns and footings we have grouped
them in reference to the stress they are bearing i.e. each group is taking relatively similar stress.
Limit state design method has been adopted for the whole components. Ethiopian building code
of standard EBCS 1, EBCS 2, EBCS 7 and EBCS 8, are referred for the design of the building.
The roof truss, ribs and frame are analyzed using SAP 2000 V 9 for different combination of
loads. And a combination with a critical effect is taken for sizing members and determination of
rebar.
Working drawings for beams, columns, footings stair case and floor slabs are prepared. And
finally Bill of Quantity for Concrete work, Rebar and Footing are prepared.
Generally in this project we have shown the basic steps for analysis and design of frame
structures and we believe we have done a fabulous work which is almost accurate and we
deserve a big hug.

Point load calculation and determination of purloin spacing


By looking into the wind pressures and referring MA*UAL OF COLD FORMED
WELDED STRUCTURAL A*D FUR*ITURE STEEL TUBI*G (from kaliti steel
industry) we have selected EGA-300 with thickness of 0.4mm.
The possible loads on purloin
-wind load
- Self weight of EGA-300
- distributed imposed load
Using EGA-300 of thickness 0.4mm from the previous table weight =3.14Kg/m or 0.0314 KN/m
To determine per area load the weight is divided by width of the sheet
=(0.0314KN/m)/0.823
DL=0.0382KN/m2 (dead load)

The LL=0.25KN/m2
Case-1 wind load (+ve pressure)
WL=0.255KN/m2 * cos15=0.246 KN/m2

Load combination
Pd=1.3DL + 1.6LL + WL
Pd=1.3(0.0382) + 1.6(0.25) + 0.246 =0.696 KN/m2
So from table taking this load and thickness of EGA the purloin spacing is found to be
= 1.75 m

Case-2 Wind load (-ve) (suction)


Pd=1.3(0.0382) + 1.6(0.25) 1.006 cos 15
= -0.522 KN/m2
From table for this loading purloin spacing will be 2m
Use purloin spacing of 1.75m.

Total design load on purloin (lattice girder purloin)


To get the total design load three cases are considered and compiled.

Case-1 Dead Load + Live Load (concentrated)


ST-20

40mm

8 deformed bars

11@410m

205mm

Assuming a ST-30 from table which is having a weight =0.0203


Pd = 0.038cos15 *1.25+ 1KNcos15 *1
= 0.045KN/m + 0.966KN
We have only considered for design the vertical perpendicular load to the EGA sheet. We neglect
the effect of the load which is parallel since its effect is counter balance by its weight and the
wind pressure.

Case -2 Dead Load + Live Load (distributed)


Pd=0.038cos15 + 0.25*1m*cos15 = 0.036KN/m + 0.24KN/m

Case -3 Dead Load + Wind Load

Pd (+ve) =0.036KN/m + 0.255KN/m2 *1m

For case- 3
R(+ve) = 0.218
R(-ve) = -0.665
2R = -1.33
We have used factor of safety 1- for live load
0.8 for wind load
1.25 for dead load, according to EBCS 1, 2, 3, 1995

1.2 Analysis of lattice purloin


The analysis is done for each case and we include the effect of self weight when we do SAP
analysis by defining the sections. And also we apply the distributed load on the purloin which is
calculated as reaction from the EGA sheet. To apply this to the nodes we concentrate the
distributed load to the center and divide it to the no of nodes, but the concentrated 1KN load is
applied at the middle of the purloin as the code requires.

Arrangement of the weld : section selection to be upper chord
ST-30 with 2mm thickness
Fe=430
s 10mm,Ls available =30mm
so lets take S=10mm
a=0.70750.707*10mm=7.07mm
lets use fy=270Mpa
fu=430Mpa
Fw,Rd =fvw,da
fvw,d=0.63fy/gmw 0.65fu/gmw
where Fw,Rd=design strength of the fillet weld per unit 0f length
fvw,d=design shear strength
gmw=1.25
fvw,d =0.63*270Mpa/1.25 =136.08Mpa 0.65fu/gmw
Fw,Rd= 136.08 N/mm2*7.07mm=962.085N/mm
But Nsd/2Fw,Rd =22.78*10^3N/2*962.085N/mm =11.84mm
So the available Ls=30mm >the needed Ls=11.84mm
So use fillet weld with length Ls=30mm and also use connected plate with Fe-430 and thickness
2mm. and also use this conection for all other joints since their design action is less than this.

2.2Pre-cast slab design


General
Precast beam slab system is a system of slab construction in which reinforced concrete
precast beam elements, with their latticed reinforcement bars projected out, are used.
During construction, these beam elements will be placed at certain intervals, to accommodate
hollow concrete block. These blocks of specified dimensions are placed along these
prefabricated beams and across the span of these elements in a similar fashion as in the case of
ribbed slab construction. Concrete will be casted over the blocks and the beam elements.
The projected reinforcement bars from the beam elements are used as an anchorage for the
concrete, in addition to their main purpose, i.e. shear resistance.
The beam elements, together with the blocks, act as formwork for the concrete casted. In
addition the beam elements will acts as flexural members to carry the loads until the cast in-situ
concrete attains its full strength
The pre-cast beam span is 5m and it is only one type therefore from the GTZ technical manualII the section is recommended as follows

And also the cross-sectional dimensions of the HCB is given below

Acting shear Vsd=pdl/2=10.173*5/2=25.385KN
The shear force VC carried by the concrete in members with out significant axial forces shall be
taken as

78.5x = 147.58-628.x
X=208.89mm
So the concrete part that carry the compression load is
(120*(208.89-200)=1066.8mm2
Force resisted by concrete section is
=11.33Mpa*1066.8mm2=12.086KN
To get the compressive force acting on steel members we have modeled the pre-cast beam as 3-D
truss whose members are pin connected and also we reduced the acting compressive force which
is resisted by the concrete section.

using Fe430

78.5*260.87/1.1=18.62 KN
0.9*78.5*300/1.25=16.96 KN

So take Ntrd = 16.96KN

using curve c, x=0.5998
check for Nb,Rd
Nb,Rd= 11.16KN is alittle bit less than Nsd=11.91
Since the centroid of the section is below the concrete section the concrete section carrys
alittle bit so the total Nsd doesnt apply on the steel so its safe. But for the safety purpose we
insert the formwork at the mid span.

4. FRAME A*ALYSIS
4.1Vertical load analysis
The load on the beam includes self weight, load from the wall on it, transferred load from
slab, Live load on the beam.
According to EBCS-2, 1995(Art. 3.4) the load transferred to beams supporting a two way slab
distribution on a supporting beam is shown in figure 4.5 of EBCS-2, 1995

4.1.1Solid slabs
The design loads on beams supporting the solid slabs spanning in two directions right angles
supporting uniformly distributed loads may be assessed by using EBCS-2 1995 Art A.3.8
The equn. Is given by the formula,
V=v PdLx
v is a constant that depends on the support condition of the panel and Lx is the
shortest span of the panel.
The assumed distribution of the load on the supporting beam is shown. Which assures
that the load is assumed to be transferred only to 75% of the beam length.

To convert such a distribution to uniformly distributed load through out the span, we compared
the fixed end moment equation value with the span moment equation value and we took the
maximum.
From fixed end moment

Fixed end moment:


MFAB= -MF BA=W*S/24(3L2-S2)
Span moment:
MS =0.75L/2*WL/2-0.076WL2+ (0.75L/2)2*W/2.
For the equivalent beam having UDL W| and length L
W|

Fixed end moment: MFAB=-MF BA= W|L2/12


Span moment: MS = W|L2/24
Equating the fixed end moment equation
W| = 0.914W
W*S/24(3L2-S2) = W|L2/12
Equating the span moment equations:
0.75L/2*WL/2-0.076WL2+ (0.75L/2)2*W/2 = W|L2/24
W| =0.984W
Taking weighted moment distribution factor
=0.914+0.984/2=0.949

4.2 Lateral Load Analysis


The lateral loads to be considered are:
a) earthquake analysis and
b) wind load analysis
The analysis for both will be done and the critical load condition will be considered for
the design.

4.2.1 Earthquake Analysis


Determination of base shear
According to EBCS-8, 1995 static method of analysis is used
The seismic base shear force Fb for each main direction is determined by the equation.
Fb = Sd (T) WT
Where
Sd(T) = ordinate of the design spectrum at period T and is given by:
=
The parameter is the ratio of the design bed rock acceleration to acceleration of
gravity, g, and given by:
= oI
0 = the bed rock acceleration ratio for the site and depends on
the seismic zone as given in table 1.1 of EBCS-8, 1995.
For zone 4, building location in mekelle, o=0.10
I = the importance factor of the building i.e. 1.4 for important
buildings such as hospital and 1.2 for buildings whose seismic resistance is of importance
in view of the consequences associated with a collapse e.g. schools, assembly halls, cultural
institutions etc. (Table 2.4, EBCS-1995)
use I = 1.2
The parameter is the design response factor for the site and is given by:
= 1.2 S 2.5
T1 2/3
S = site coefficient for soil characteristics, table 1.2
= 1.0 for subsoil class A.(includes rocks, stiff deposits of sand, gravel or over consolidated clay
T1 = the fundamental period of vibration of the structure
(in sec) for translational motion in the direction of
motion. For buildings with heights up to 80m, the value
of T1 may be approximated using:
T1 = C 1 H
H=height of the building= 19.3m
C1=0.075 for moment resisting concrete frames
T1 = 0.075* 19.3 =0.691 sec

0.691
The parameter, , is the behavior factor to account energy dissipation capacity given by:
= okDkRkW 0.7
o= basic type of the behavior factor, dependent on
structural type (table 3.2)
for frame system , o=0.20
kD= factor reflecting ductility class ,use kD =2.0 for DC L
kR= factor reflecting the structural regularity in elevation
use kR =1.0
kW= factor reflecting the prevailing failure mode in
Structural system with walls.
=1.0 for frame and frame equivalent dual systems.
=0.2*2.0*1.0*1.0=0.4 0.7
ok!
Sd(T) =
= 0.12*1.84*0.4= 0.0883
WT = seismic dead load, obtained as the total permanent load
=11360.26
The base shear will be
Fb =0.0883*11360.26 = 1003.11 KN

Distribution of base shear over height of a building


The base shear force shall be distributed over the height of a structure, concentrated at
each floor level,

Fi =

( F b F t )W i h i
n

hj

j=0

Where

n = number of stories
Fi = the concentrated lateral force acting at floor i
Ft = the concentrated extra force at the top of the building
accounting whiplash effect for slender building, which is
given by:
Ft =0.07*T1*Fb (EBCS- 8,1995 Art. 2.3.3.2.3)
=0.07*0.691*1002KN
=48.47KN
Wi, Wj =that portion of total weight W located at or assigned to
level i or j, respectively.
hi, hj = height above the base to level i or j, respectively.

4.2.2 Wind Load Analysis


According to EBCS, 1995, the wind pressure acting on external surface, We & internal surface,
Wi are:
We=qref Ce(Zi)Cpe
WI=qref Ce(Zi)Cpi
 Reference wind pressure, qref
qref = 1/2**Vref 2
Where Vref =CDIRCTEMPCALT Vref,O
=1.0*1.0*1.0*22 m/s
= 22 m/s
=air density
= 0.94Kg/m3
Hence,
qref =0.5*0.94*222 =227.48N/m2
 Exposure coefficient
To get the critical wind load we calculate the wind acting on the longest side of the
building.

4.3 Distribution of Storey Shear


The horizontal forces at each level, Fi, determined in the above manner are distributed to
lateral load resistive structural elements in proportion to their rigidities assuming rigid floor
diaphragms.

Center of mass is a point on a floor level where the whole mass and its inertial
effects can be replaced using lumped equivalent mass.
Xm = WiXi ; Ym = WiYi

Determination of center of stiffness


Center of stiffness is a point where the stiffness or strength of the floor is concentrated.
Xs = DiyXi ; Ys = DixYi
Diy
Dix
Where
Xi, Yi = coordinates of the shear center of the frame element
Dix, Diy = lateral stiffness of a particular element along X and Y axes, respectively.
The rigidity, D of a column has a relation with:
- stiffness of the column itself
- stiffness of upper and lower beams
- heights of upper and lower columns
- upper and lower shear forces
- location of storey
D = a Kc
Kc = column stiffness
a = factor depending on boundary conditions
Computation of a
If K represents the total sum of stiffness ratios of beams above and below the column
divided by 2Kc, the approximate formula to obtain a for general cases is:
a = K / (2+K)

Calculation of eccentricities
Eccentricity is the difference between the center of mass and center of stiffness of the floor.
Actual eccentricities
ex = Xm Xs
ey = Ys Ym
Accidental eccentricities
For various sources of eccentricities in locating the masses and spatial
variation of seismic motion, an additional accidental eccentricity, eli is considered in
addition to the actual eccentricity.
It is given by:
eli = 0.05 li
Where eli is the floor dimension perpendicular to the direction of seismic action.
Design eccentricities
ed,x = ex + elx
and
ed,y = ey + ely

Calculation of shear correction factor


When the shear center and mass center do not coincide, torsion will be developed due to the
lateral forces. This is also somehow amplified by the inherent existence of accidental
eccentricities. As a result the direct shear forces obtained above need to be corrected to take this
effect. The shear correction factors are calculated using
ix = 1+(Dix)edy *yi
Jr
iy = 1+(Diy)edx *xi
Jr
Jr = Jx + Jy

where Jx = (Dix yi2)


Jy = (Diy xi2)
xi = Xi Xs
yi =Ys Yi

5. DESIG* OF BEAMS A*D COLUM*S


5.1 Beam design
Beams are flexural members which are used to transfer the loads from slab to columns.
Basically beams should be designed for flexure (moment). Furthermore it is essential to check
and design the beam sections for torsion and shear. Beams may be designed for flexural moment
depending on the magnitude of the moment and the X- sectional dimensions. on the other hand
the beam can be singly reinforced, doubly reinforced T or section.

Style of beam reinforcement


 Singly reinforced cross section
The moment capacity of a given singly reinforced beam is given by
M=bd2fyd (1-0.4m)
is taken to be 0.75 b to re assure ductility of the material. Afterward for the given sectional
dimensions and material data, the total area of reinforcement required for the applied moment M
is given by
As=bd
Where:
=1/2(c1 +

(C1 4 M / C 2 bd 2 )

M=moment
m=fyd/ (0.8fcd)
d=effective depth
 Doubly reinforced cross section
Incase when the dimension of the section is limited, the concrete may be subjected to higher
compression stress. Thus additional steel bars are placed in the compression zone of the section.
Hence the design moment, Md is obtained by
Md = M1+M2
Where;
M1=the moment resisted by concrete and partial steel As
M2= The moment resisted by steel in compression, As, and the left over steel As2
M1 can be computed via in the manner of singly reinforced section
M1=0.8bd2 fcd*m(1-0.4m), is stated above.
As1= bd but since M2=M-M1=Asfs(d-dc)=As2fyd(d-dc)
At yielding the compression steel both area of steel becomes equal
As=As2= (M-M1)/ ( fyd(d-dc) = (M-M1)/( fs(d-dc).i.e. fyd = fs
fs=(x-dc)Es*c/x ,x= mb

5.1.3 Design of beams for shear and torsion


Shear reinforcement design
Beam sections are subjected to shear forces in addition to flexural actions.
Shear is resisted by the combined actions of the following
 Shear resistance of concrete in compression zone
 Shear reinforcements or stirrups
 Dowel action in tension bars across crack
 Aggregate interlocking across the inclined crack in tension zone
*ominal reinforcement
The shear force VC carried by the concrete in members with out significant axial forces shall
be taken as
VC = 0.25fctdK1K2bwd
Where K1= (1+50) < 2.0
K2= 1.6-d > 1.0 (d in meters). For members where more than 50%of the
bottom reinforcement is curtailed, K2 = 1.
max =0.04

As is the area of tensile reinforcement


The ultimate limit state in shear is characterized by either diagonal compression failure of
concrete or failure of shear reinforcement due to diagonal tension.

Diagonal compression failure of concrete


To avoid compression failure of concrete the shear resistance of the section , VRD shall not be
less than the applied shear force Vd.
Where:
VRD=0.25 *fcd *bw*d
If VRD < Vd .increase the concrete section

Diagonal Tension failure of web reinforcement


If the applied shear force Vd < VRD > the shear resistance of the section Vc Shear
reinforcement need be provided. The spacing in this case is given by
S=(d-d)Asv*fyk/(Vd-Vc)
( section 4.5 EBCS-2,1995)
The shear between the critical section which is at a distance d from the face of the support, and
the point beyond which maximum spacing is used is reinforced by the difference of shear
capacity of concrete. The region beyond this is reinforced with maximum spacing.( section 4.56,EBCS-2,1995,page 43-46)
The maximum spacing Smax between stirrups, in the longitudinal direction should be
= 800
=d

Then Vc=62.1KN
VRD=0.25 *fcd *bw*d=0.25*11.33*250*446=311.1 KN

Taking the design shear at d distance from the face of the column Vd=112.6KN
S=(d-d)Asv*fyk/(Vd-Vc) = 2*50.3*260.87*(446-43)/(112.6-62.1)=209.7 mm
But Vd< 2/3Vrd as per EBCS 2-1995 Smax= 0.5d=220mm

Use 8 c/c 200mm.Since the minimum reinforcement &the design result are all most similar
, so use 8 c/c 200mm through out the length
The reimaing shear designs are displayed in the reinforcement detail

Torsional reinforcement
Torsion results from the monolithic character of construction; and any assymetric in the loading of
the floor slab produces torsion to the supporting beams.
Torsion shear stresses create diagonal tension resulting in diagonal crack. Thus, we need to
provide both closed stirrups and longitudinal steel to avoid brittle fracture.

Torsional resistance of concrete


Torsional effect may be disregarded whenever the design torque TSD is less than TC given by (
section 4.6.4 EBCS-2, 1995,page 48)
TC = 1.2fctdAefhef however, minimum reinforcement may be provided in such away that
, and the spacing of stirrups shall not exceed Uef /8
min= 0.4 /fyk
More ever, at least one longitudinal bar shall be placed at each corner of the closed stirrup with
spacing not exceeding 350mm.

Limiting value of ultimate shear


In order to prevent diagonal compression failure in the concrete the torsional resistance, TRD, of a
section shall not be less than the applied torque TSd.
Where TRD = 0.8fcdAefhef > Tsd.

Design for torsional reinforcement


When Tsd >Tc..high torsional moment. Hence ,both longituidinal bars Asl & closed stirrups Astr
must be provided.

Combined actions
a) Torsion and bending or torsion and axial forces
 Simple super position by separately determining area of reinforcements may be applied.
b) Torsion and shear
 limiting values for torsion and shear are

5.2 Column design


Columns are axially loaded vertical members, which carry their load primarily in compression.
The majority of compression or tension members carry a portion of the load in bending which
may arise due to the unbalanced moments in the members connected to their ends.
The result
of such bending moments in axially loaded members into reduces the range of axial force that the
member can carry. For this reason, it is essential to note that the effect of bending in axially
loaded members should be considered in designing these columns.
5.2.1 Design Procedure
1. To design a column in a particular frame first the frame is classified wheather it is sway
or non sway.
2. To determine the nature of the frame we substitute the beams and columns by one
substitute frame
3. The value of the axial force on each substitute frame column is obtained by adding the
axial load each column for the story including self weight.

4. the values of the stiffness coefficients of the substitute frame is given by


For beams=2*Kbi
For column =Kci
Where: Kbi stiffness coefficient of beam
Where: Kci stiffness coefficient of column
5. The effective length of the substitute frame is computed for each storey assuming as sway
frame as shown below.
The effective length buckling Le of a column in a given plane is obtained from the
following approximate equation provided that certain restriction is complied with.
a) Non sway mode
Le/L= (m+0.4)/ (m+0.8) 0.8
b) Sway mode:
Conservatively:
Le/L= (1+0.8 m) 1.15
Where: m is a stiffness coefficient which will be discussed
Using the following theoretical model.

Kc1 and Kc2 are column stiffness coefficients (EI/l)


Kc is the stiffness coefficient of the column being designed
=1.0 if opposite end elastically or rigidly restrained
= 0.5 if opposite ends are free to rotate

The above approximate equation for effective length calculation is applicable for values
of 1 and 2 not exceeding 10.
If a base is designed to resist the column moment may be taken as 1.0.
6. the dimension of the substitute column is computed to find the moment of inertia of the
section (Ic)
7. The amount of reinforcement required by the substitute column is computed and the
moment of inertia of the reinforcement with respect to the centroid of the concrete section
is determined.
In lieu of more accurate determination, the first order moment, Mdl, at critical section of the
substitute may be determined using:
Mdl = 2+3 HL
1+ 2 +6
Where: H= the total horizontal reaction at the bottom of the story.
L= the story shear
8. The buckling load of a story may be assumed to be equal to that of the substitute
Beam-column frame, and may be determined as
Ncr= 2 EIe
Le2
Where: EIe is the effective stiffness of the substitute column designed
Le is the effective length.
In lieu of more accurate determination, the effective stiffness of a column may be taken as:
EIe= 0.2Ec Ic + Es Is
Where Ec= 1100fcd
Es is the modulus of elasticity of steel
Ic, Is are the moment of inertia of the concrete
and reinforcement sections, respectively
of the substitute column, with respect to
the centroid of the concrete section.
Computation of moment of inertia of reinforced concrete section with respect to the centroid

5.2.2Design of isolated columns

For buildings, a design method may be used which assumes the compression members to
be isolated and adopts a simplified shape for the deformed axis of the column.

Total eccentricity
The total eccentricity to be used for the design of columns of constant cross section at the
critical section is given by:
etot= ee+ea+e2
Where
 ee is equivalent constant first-order eccentricity of the design axial load
- for first-order eccentricity eo is equal at both ends of a
column ee= eo
for first-order moment varying linearly along the length, the equivalent eccentricity is the
higher of the following two values
ee =0.6eo2 + 0.4 eo1
ee =0.4 eo2
eo1 and eo2 are first-order eccentricities at the ends eo2 being
positive and greater in magnitude than eo1.
 ea is the additional eccentricity to account for geometric imperfection, introduced by
increasing the eccentricity of the longitudinal force acting in the most unfavorable
direction.

ea = Le/ 300 20mm


Le is the effective length of isolated column.
 e2 is the second order eccentricity
According to EBCS-2, 1995 Art. 4.4.6(2) second order effects in compressive members
need not be taken into account in the following cases
a) for sway frames the greater of

25
; which ever is maximum
15/d
d = Nsd/Acfcd
b) for non sway frames
50 25 (M1/M2)
Where
M1 and M2 are the 1st order (calculated moments at
the ends, M2 being always positive and greater
than M1 , and M1 being positive if member is bent
in single curvature and negative if bent in double curvature.
For sway frames in the absence of rigorous method the amplified sway moments
method can be employed to obtain the sway contribution by multiplying the 1st order moment by
magnification factor given by:
s = 1/(1 Nsd/Ncr) provided; Nsd/Ncr 0.25

I . Punching shear
According to EBCS-2, 1995 article 4.7.6 the resistance of footing without punching shear
reinforcement is give by:
Vrd = 0.25 * fctd * k1 * k2 * u * d
Where: K1 = 1+50 2.0
K2 = 1.6 d 1.0 (d in meter)
Assume = 0.002, k1 = 1.0 + 50 * 0.002 = 1.1
0.4+d
L
U = 4* ( 0.4 + d) = 1.6 + 4d
Vrd = 0.25*1043*1.1*1.0*(1.6 + 4*d)*d
B
Vacating = (1.7*1.7 (0.4 + d)2)*554.7
0 .4+d
Then Vrd > Vacting (for safe condition)
B
Hence solving for d
d 0.545
Therefore , D = 549 + 50 + 10 =605mm
So use over all depth of 610mm
II.wide beam shear

According to EBCS-2, 1995, article 4.5.3, the shear force Vc carried by the concrete is given by :
Vc = 0.3*fctd*k1*k2*bw*d
Using 50mm clear cover and 16 longitudinal reinforcement bar
d= 610 50 8 = 560 mm
Vc = 0.3*1043*1.1*1*1.7*0.552 =327.6 kN
Vacting = (B/2 - B/2 - d)*qu*B
= 0.09 *561.42*1.7=85.89kN
Since Vc > Vacting ..... the section is safe !!
So punching governs and the overall depth is found to be 610 mm

Hence provide 12 16 c/c 140 mm
Similarly the remaining footing and the precast slab footing is done as that of the above
procedure. The result is found in the auto cad detail for both cases.

6.2 Mat foundation design


The purpose of designing this mat foundation is due to irregularity of our building and
occurrence of small amount of tension at the edge columns. For a building of G+4 with bearing
capacity of 560 it is not recommended to use mat foundation but we do it to be safer. And also it
is recommended to use cantilever structures to balance the tension by discussing with the
architect. since we dont have this chance we opted to design mat foundation to the local areas in
which tension was developed.
The design procedure for the precast floor system is presented as follows and for the solid case
the results are found in the reinforcement detail and are also tabulated in table.

Conclusion and recommendation


Conclusion
The main aim of the project is to compare the total cost variation of pre-cast and solid slab
systems. To attain this we have done a detail analysis and design for each case. And finally we
have come out with the total cost of each system as shown below.

total

Total difference = (1,203,989.96-1,135,224.32)*100/(1,203,989.96)=5.7115%


As the above data shows the pre-cast slab type is less-costier than that of solid floor type. And
also it is clear that the major difference is caused by the cost of form-work and reinforcement
instead of concrete cost.
Generally using pre-cast slabs is advantageous by minimizing the construction time, work manship, construction equipment and attaining quality of materials.

Recommendation
The overall works of the building should be inspected and supervised throughout the
entire construction time in order to achieve the design strength.
Care should be taken when handling, casting and placing the precast beam element.
Especially the support condition on construction time must be the same as that of
previously determined arrangement on the design part.
And also it is better to remove application of concentrated force for the precast floor
system, which can cause falling out of the hallow block concrete.
The quality of materials should fulfill the design strength.
