Of
Steel Structure
Executive Summary
This report presents the analysis and design of extension part of residential building with metal
structure. It was designed to meet both strength and serviceability requirements when subjected
both to gravity loads and lateral loads. For strength design, the Load Resistance Factor Design
(LRFD) criteria were used. All standard load combinations were considered and members were
designed to resist the ultimate, factored loads. Because of the extreme seismic loads, plastic
yielding behavior of the structure is expected and accounted for, with plastic deflections limited
to 1% story drifts. To prevent brittle failure at the beam-column connections, reduced beam
sections were used in the moment-frame beams to ensure ductile failure by forcing plastic hinges
to form at those locations. For serviceability, beam deflections were limited to L/240 under
service live loads and story drifts are limited to L/400 under 50-year wind conditions. To ensure
building safety, a column removal study was also conducted. A bottom-story column was
removed from each exterior frame and the building’s strength was analyzed to ensure life safety.
Table of Contents
Design was conducted according to IS 800: General Construction In Steel - Code of Practice and
IS: 806: 1968 – Code of Practice for Use of Steel Tubes in General Building Construction. The
LRFD approach was used as a design criterion. All load combinations were entered into the
model, and the combined load effects were compared to the reduced nominal strengths of the
members. In addition to analyzing members under typical load effects, for seismic design, a drift
criterion accounting for plastic deformation was enforced as indicated by IS 800:2007. The
structure was designed for serviceability: Deflections of beams under service live load are
limited to L/240 and story drifts under 50-year wind events (unfactored wind load) are limited to
L/400. A computer model was constructed in ETABS to conduct three-dimensional frame
analysis of the structure. The model included only the main beams and the columns; the floor
beams and decking were designed by hand. Lateral loads were applied to diaphragms at each
floor; diaphragms were assumed rigid as justified by a diaphragm flexibility study.

3. Loadings
3.1 Imposed/ Dead Loads
Dead Load on the structure comprise the self weight of the member; weight of the finishes and
partition walls. These are usually dependent upon the constructional features and have to be
assumed in order to design various structural members. The loads on the beams due to the slabs
were calculated according to clause 23.5 of IS 456-2000. The wall is taken as superimposed dead
load which contains partition loads and glass loads. As the software, we have used, generates the
self weight of the structural member by itself, we have not calculated the self weight.
The Seismic Coefficient Method is generally applicable to building up to 40m height and those
are more or less symmetrical in plan and elevation. This method basically consists of calculation
of base shear VB. The base shear VB is given by the following equation:
VB = Ah.W
Z I Sa I
Ah = (2) x (R) x( g ) Where, (R) ≤ 1
Where,
Ah = Horizontal seismic coefficient value
Z = Zone factor for max considered earthquake condition given in IS 1893 (part
I) : 2002 clause 6.4.2, table 2
R = Response reduction factor given in IS1893 (part I):2002 clause 6.4.2, table
7
Sa
= Spectral acceleration depending upon the period of vibration and damping
g
The designed storey shear in any storey is distributed to the various elements of the vertical
lateral force resisting system in proportion to their rigidity considering the rigidity of diaphragm.
Due to the intensive nature of the seismic loads, the wind loads were not expected to control in
this design. Building is located in the minimum basic wind speed zone of 55m/s, and has an
importance factor of 1, due to the building’s category IV status residential building would be
located in the urban environment of Kathandu, exposure category B was used. No special
topographic considerations were taken into account, and the default values of all remaining
variables were used in the computation of the lateral wind loads. The building was also
classified as an enclosed structure. Once all wind pressures had been computed and applied to
the proper building faces, they were summed up within the vertical tributary area of each
diaphragm and the resultants were applied as concentrated loads at the diaphragm’s centroid.
Two forces act along the principle axes of the diaphragm, and in some cases, a moment is
applied to represent these forces applied at an eccentricity of 15% of the building width. The
Lateral forces to building are calculated as auto wind load as per Etabs.
Different load cases and load combination cases as per IS 875 are considered to obtain most
critical element stresses in structure in the course of analysis. There are altogether four load
cases considered for the structural analyses are mentioned as below:
4. Design Process
Story drift requirements due to seismic loading controlled the design of all members in the
moment frames and the braces in the braced frames. For all interior columns, compressive
strength controlled proportioning. For all simply-supported beams, serviceability (live-load
deflection) controlled member proportioning.
The LRFD load combinations were used to find maximum compression, tension, shear force and
bending moment in all members. This strength requirement governed member selection of non-
moment frame columns and braces. In these cases, the lightest members were chosen to resist
loads in critical members, and member sections were repeated if reasonable. In all other cases,
either story drifts or serviceability requirements governed member selection.
4.2 Serviceability
A beam deflection criterion of L/240 was used under service live load for all beams. For all
simply-supported beams in the structure, this deflection limitation controlled the selection. The
service wind story drift limitation of L/400 was met and did not control for any members. This
is because the lateral force-resisting system was already very stiff to handle seismic loads.
5. Calculations

patterns for both cantilever A and Cantilever B.

6 Final Results and Consideration
The selected members and their uses are shown in table below with the equivalent sections
available in local market. All beams in the moment frame use reduced beam sections—the
reduced beam sections lead to larger story drifts, but members were not designed for strength
corresponding to their reduced beam sections, as instructed. These members are capable of
satisfying both strength and serviceability requirements. Some constructability difficulty is
likely from some of the differences in member sizes, but connections are beyond the scope of
this project.

Additional Considerations Because of high seismic loading, this design requires very strong,
expensive members. To mitigate seismic effects, a base isolation could be utilized. Base
isolation systems minimize the level of earthquake force transmitted from the ground into the
building by isolating the structure using rubber bearings and viscous dampers. Member size in
the 320-ft direction could be decreased by using a braced frame or dual system to resist lateral
forces. Though architecturally invasive, braced systems are highly effective for reducing
deflections, and would decrease story drifts without increasing the amount of steel used.
