What should be the size of columns and beam

span and depth for G+2 bus terminal

building?
Ans 1
Since you have not mentioned any load details or any other technical details I will
just give you some general idea.
The building you have chose is the Bus Terminal Station so for that I would put
rectangle columns of 450 x 600 mm or you can try square column of 450 x 450 mm.

Now the span of beam I would keep it in the range of 6 m to 8 m but not more than
that to avoid major deflections. Depth of Beam I would keep it to 600 mm. based on
the above columns used.
The sizes may change with your loads and Seismic (if any) conditions.

Ans 2

Figure out where you are in the world.

2. Consult local building code.
2. Estimate your load on each member.
3. Open up your Steel Construction Manual, I'm looking at the 13th edition from
AISC.
4. Turn to page 3-1.
5. Choose members based on load.
6. Check your member choices in a finite element frame analysis homemadelooking matlab program, for allowable deflection.
OR
1. Put up a bunch of W36x800 beams and call it good.
OR
1. Put in something prefabricated. Probably can find an old Soviet bus depot for
cheap.

Span to depth ratios of floors, as a guide (ONLY) for preliminary design, are based
on the imposed loads, as well as the type of structure. For a bus terminal building,
the live load is probably 15 to 20 kPa. Assuming a post-tensioned band beam
system, with one way slabs between beams, you might look at an L/D ratio of 15 for
the beams and 20 for the slabs (L = span, D = depth). These numbers are top of my
head, and should be verified through analysis. The quantity of post tensioning
should be commensurate with providing a P/A (i.e. compression) of approximately
1.4 MPa on the concrete cross section. Column size may depend on their height,
whether or not they laterally brace the building against sway under wind and/or
earthquake, and how many concrete floors they support. You might try 600 x 600
square columns as a start, assuming one suspended floor of loading.
