4. Design Loading
4.1 The building shall be designed for the following loading envelopes:
Wind Loads
Dead load structure self weight
CP3 Chap V Part 2:
Structural design actions - Wind actions Superimposed dead load
1972 Live load
Construction stage temporary loading
Earthquake Loads
Wind load
Notional load
Ductile Detailing
4.2 Superimposed Dead Load and Live loads
Superimposed dead loads to be considered are floor finishes, ceilings, permanent brick
walls, precast panels, curtain wall glazing, plinths, water tank, M&E equipment actual load,
landscape planter boxes, all soft and hardscaping works. The following are the
3. Structure Material to be Used superimposed dead load generally to be adopted:

Union Place Apartments Structural Design Brief Feb 2017
4.4 Wind Load Total deflection for Beam and slab = L/250 (from horizontal level)
Incremental deflection for brittle material = L/500, or 20 mm maximum
Wind Load parameters as follows: Incremental deflection for non brittle material = L/350, or 20 mm maximum
Terrain category = 3 Total deflection for Transfer Structures = L/500, or 15 mm maximum
Ultimate limit state analysis = 38m/s (Design Criteria) Incremental deflection for Transfer Structures = L/750, or 10 mm maximum
Serviceability limit State analysis = 33m/s (Deflection and Acceleration Criteria)
5.6 Lateral Deflection
Not more than H/500; i.e. 6mm per storey height and 328 mm total at roof under
serviceability wind loading.
4.5 Notional Load
The building structure shall be designed for 1.5% of total dead load acting laterally at 5.7 Maximum Crack Width
ultimate loading stage.
The design class, maximum crack width of structural element are as follow:-

Beam width = 200mm
Floor thickness = 150mm All PT beams Ultimate limit state 0.2mm <
Column width = 300mm (fully exposed) /Class 3

5.3 Exposure Basement and basement walls to be fully waterproofed to architects approval.
Condition of exposure considered is mild. All RC water tank and RC flat roof, RC planter box to be provided with engineer approved
waterproofing. Ponding tests to be carried out on the base structure prior to the application
5.4 Nominal Concrete Cover to All Reinforcement Including Links of waterproofing. Waterproofing, if any required for toilet slab to be specified by Architect.

Wall section will also be checked for resultant tensile stress from combination of load
cases. Any tensile stress will be resisted solely by reinforcement.
Minimum wall reinforcement shall be 0.4% of cross sectional area for vertical bars and
0.25% for horizontal bars.
6.1 Design and Analysis Software - The Tower typical floor slab structures generally comprise of 150 mm to 200mm RC
slab spanning between walls and core walls.
The following software program will be used to aid the structural analysis and design. - The GFL, L3-L10 slabs vary between 150 mm to 175 mm RC slabs spanning between
the columns/ walls and core walls depending on span and usage.
Lateral force on building frame analysis - ETABS - The Transfer Slab vary between 2000 mm to 2500 mm
PT for Beams and Slab design
RC for Beams and Slab design ETABS/Spread Sheets/ CSC TEDS Please refer to preliminary structural key plans for the structural details of each non-typical floor
Column and wall Design - Prokon (attached).
Forces combination will include the combinations to produce the worst effect. Due to the magnitude of load to be supported from the construction we will be adopting
Bored piles based on advice from the geotechnical engineer.
Both serviceability stress, ultimate stress and deflection will be checked. Bored piles will be placed under Pile Raft below tower with columns and shear walls.
Bored Pile Concrete Grade is assumed as C30.
Current Model Parameters & Performance :
7.2 Pile Raft
Basic Wind Speed = 38 m/s
Maximum Target Acceleration = 15 mill-g Pile Raft is to be designed using the Finite Element Analysis and will be designed based
on ultimate pile capacities.
Piles will be spaced at minimum 2.5 x diameter centre to centre.
6.3 Column Loading and Design
Gravitational column loading will be extracted from the ETABS model and will be checked 7.3 Retaining Wall
against RAM model reactions. A third check will be done by comparing the column loads to
loads from the tributary area method. The retaining wall will be designed as a reinforced cast in situ concrete wall supported
at each floor level laterally.
Gravitational wall loading will be extracted from the ETABS model and will be checked The lowest basement slab will be designed as a water retaining structure with either a full

loads from the tributary area method. The slab will be designed for hydro-static pressure dependent on final reduced level and
will be designed to span between pile caps/Raft as appropriate.
Lateral forces (Wind and Notional Load) induced vertical, horizontal loading and moment on
wall will be extracted from ETABS analysis result.
