Introduction
The basic aim of the structural design is to build a structure, which is safe, fulfilling the
intended purpose during its estimated life span, economical in terms of initial and
maintenance cost, durable and also maintaining a good aesthetic appearance. A building is
considered to be structurally sound, if the individual elements and the building as a whole
satisfy the criteria for strength, stability and serviceability and in seismic areas additional
criteria for ductility and energy absorption capabilities. The overall building must be strong
enough to transfer all loads through the structure to the ground without collapsing or losing
structural integrity by rupture of the material at the critical sections, by transformation of the
whole or parts into mechanisms or by instability. This strength criterion is valid for all loads
that will normally be applied to the building during its lifetime. Accidents, overloading and
disasters are not directly related to design. However, concern is needed for the structure to
have structural integrity. A building needs to be designed for all loads acting on it. Detailed
structural designs are carried out and working drawings are to be prepared. Safety is the
prime concern of the structural design. Serviceability and economy are other basic
requirements that are to be considered during structural design. The building should be
designed not only for vertical loads, but also for horizontal loads such as wind and earthquake
loads. A building and its structural elements must be strong enough to transfer all the loads
acting on it safely to the ground. It should be able to withstand all loads acting on it.
Nepal lies in seismically vulnerable zone. It is located in the boundary of the two colliding
tectonic plates- the Indian plate (Indo-Australian Plate) and the Tibetan plate (Eurasian Plate)
which is known as “Subduction Zone”. Records of earthquakes are available in Nepal since
1255 A.D. Those records reveal that Nepal was hit by 18 major earthquakes since then,
resulting in huge loss of life and property. Out of these earthquakes, the 1833 and 1934
earthquakes were the most destructive ones.
Designing building against earthquake forces does not mean that we are making the building
proof against it. Although we can design such robust structure, it would be too expensive to
build, it would be far cheaper to rebuild the building again instead of making it completely
earthquake proof. The structures are generally designed for much lower seismic forces than
what it may actually experience during its life time. Since the structure is expected to undergo
damage in the event of a severe shaking, reliance is placed on the inelastic response of the
structure beyond yield.
Therefore, structures have to be ductile and capable of dissipating energy through inelastic
actions. Ductility can be achieved by avoiding brittle modes of failures. Brittle modes of
failures include, shear and bond failure. Thus, structures should be designed on Weak Beam-
Strong column philosophy.

The structural design alone is not enough to ensure the safety of the building, equally
important, is its construction. The role of the contractor is of paramount importance as he is
the one to execute the construction work at the site. He is required to execute the work
according to the drawings supplied by the consultant to him and detailing has to be carefully
followed. A large percentage of failure of the building is attributed to poor quality of
construction. Past experiences from damages have shown that quality of material and
workmanship plays an important role in good seismic behavior of the buildings. Hence, quality
assurance in construction is expected to gain good seismic performance.

a. ETABS 2016
b. Custom Software
The tentative sizes of the Structural elements are determined through preliminary design so
that after analysis, the presumed dimensions may not deviate considerably, thus making the
final design both safe and economical. The tentative sizes have been determined as follows:
Slab: From Deflection Criteria [Effective Depth = Effective Shorter Span / (26 * MF)]
Beam: For Practical rule as 25mm Depth for 300mm of Span covering deflection criteria
Column: From evaluation of approximate gravity loading coming up to the critical Column.
To compensate for the possible eccentric Loading and earthquake loads the size is
increased by about 25 % in design.

We have followed Indian Standard Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete,
IS: 456 -2000 for design of Structural Elements. This incorporates the two methods of
Structural Design of RC structures specified as:
a. Working Stress Method based on the Working loads in conjunction with permissible
stresses in the materials.
b. Limit State Method based on safety and serviceability requirements associated with
the design loads and design strengths of the materials. These design loads and design
strengths are obtained by applying partial safety factors for characteristic loads and
strengths of the materials concrete and steel.
We have followed the limit state method which is incorporated in IS: 456-2000. It is
consistent with the new philosophy of design termed limit state approach which was
incorporated in the Russian Code – 1954, the British code BS 8110 – 1985 and the
American Code ACI 318 – 1989.
Limit States
The Limit State method of design covers the various forms of failure. There are several
limit state at which the structure ceases to function, the most important among them
being,
b. The limit state of serviceability which includes excessive deflection and excessive local
damage.
Analysis
The analysis has been carried out using a standard software package SAP2000 based on finite
element method. The software is capable of carrying out a Three Dimensional analysis. It is
windows based software. It has a user friendly graphical input and output interface. It can
account for the rigid zones at the beam - column junction. It has a capability to create a special
joint at any grid intersection. The program has a facility to create shell elements also. Shell
elements can be used for the analysis of Slabs and Shear walls. A full 3D finite element model
using frame and shell elements can also be created using ETABS.
A Three Dimensional Linear elastic analysis has been carried out. Structure is assumed to be
fixed at the Plinth level. The masonry wall load is distributed in the beams as uniformly
distributed loads. The beams are modeled as rectangular beams. A model based on Rigid

of mass of each floor level and constraining all the joints at this level by a diaphragm
constraint.

Design
The design of reinforced concrete structural members includes selection of material
properties (grade of steel and concrete), shape and size of cross section, factor of safety and
amount of steel required. The design of reinforced concrete members are carried out using
limit state method as per IS 456: 2000. The limit state method is the modern and latest design
methodology. This method evolved around 1970’s. Limit state method is based on the
concept of multiple safety factors and attempts to provide adequate safety at the ultimate
loads and adequate serviceability at service loads.
For the design of the members IS 456:2000 and design aid SP 16 has been used. Footings have
been checked for vertical loads and moments developed at the base due to dead load and
live load only. Square footings have been adopted from seismic point of view that reversal
stress may occur. And footing beams are provided for column at foundation for more rigidity
of building and also need for the column located at boundary. Longitudinal reinforcement in
beams and columns has been calculated based on critical load combination among the
thirteen load combinations. Spacing of the shear reinforcement has been calculated as per
the ductility criteria as defined in IS 13920 -1993. Some sample designs are shown later on in
this report.

Design of foundation
The purpose of the foundation is to effectively support the superstructure by transmitting the
applied load effects to the soil below, without exceeding the safe bearing capacity of the
superstructure by ensuring settlement of the structure is within tolerable limits, and as nearly
uniform as possible.
The choice of the type of the foundation depends not only on the type of the superstructure
and the magnitude and types of reactions induced at the base of the superstructure, but also
on the nature of the soil strata on top of which the substructure is to be founded.
The foundation used for this building is isolated foundation. Bearing Capacity of Soil is
150KN/m2.

Conclusion
Ductility and strength required to resist major earthquake can be achieved by following the
recommendations made in the standard codes of practice for earthquake resistant design.
After the analysis of the building components, the building is found to be safe against the
loads considered above. All the sections are found to be stressed within the permissible limits
due to axial, shear, flexural and torsional forces produced due to above forces. The slab and
foundations were checked manually. Shear stirrups is sufficiently provided so that none of
the elements are Vulnerable to shear failure and failure mode will be flexural, which is more
ductile. Bearing capacity of the soil is assumed to be 150 KN/m2. It is strongly recommended
to check the bearing capacity before construction so as to ensure the assumed value is within
safe limits. The structural safety would further depend upon the effectiveness of construction
procedures as well as collapse and serviceability criteria followed during the construction
phases.
Design and construction of the structure are inter – related jobs. A building behaves in a
manner how it has been built rather than what the intensions is during designing. A large
percentage of structural failures are attributed due to poor quality of construction. Therefore,
quality assurance is needed in both design and construction. Durable M20 concrete has been
used in the foundation which is in contact with the soil. M20 grade of concrete is used during
analysis and design for Beams and slabs whereas M25 grade is used during analysis and design
for columns. Ductile detailing has been extensively adopted while detailing.
