EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The existing power house of SQUARE APPARELS LTD. is currently in operation as a two-storied
building composed of RCC Frame.
A team from ALLIANCE conducted visual assessment of the factory building. They
recommended to perform DEA of the building. On this recommendation, SQUARE APPARELS
LTD. has engaged Sthapona Consultants for performing DEA along with checking architectural
and structural drawing of the building.
For DEA one of the key inputs is the concrete strength. Six cores from different locations of
columns have been collected to test the concrete strength. These cores have been sent and
tested in BUET Lab by UTM (universal testing machine) to find its compressive strength. It has
been found that stone chips were used as coarse aggregate. Equivalent concrete strength (As
per ACI-562) for column is 2920 psi. Rebar yield strength was found 72.5 Ksi which was
confirmed by BUET test. Test result of BUET is presented in DT-NDT Report.
Considering BNBC referred loading, we analysed the structure & found that some of the R.C.C.
columns are overstressed due to lateral load, some R.C.C. Floor beams are slightly inadequate
due to torsion, grade beams are adequate. All the foundations are adequate both in bearing &
punching shear capacity. So, few retrofitting work is required for the analysed structure.
For retrofitting of overstressed columns, we recommended to add shear wall. The proposed
shear walls are adequate, the adequacy check of shear wall and its adjacent footing is shown
in the following chapters of this DEA report.
We recommend to rectify the overstressed member to comply the building with BNBC 2006 as
per the provided rectification design. We also recommend the factory authority to run their
operation by following the allowable load layout plan, to comply the building with BNBC 2006.

The principal material of construction is reinforced concrete. As per investigation and design
drawings, the following material properties have been used:
❖ Yield strength of steel (Rebar), fy = 72,500 lb/in2
❖ Compressive strength of concrete, fc' = 2920 lb/in2
❖ Young's modulus of concrete, Ec = 57,000fc'
3.4 LOADS
The loads that may act upon the structure are as follows:
Live load is the gravity load due to non-permanent objects like machines, furniture, and human.
Analysis has been carried out base on load recommended by BNBC (2006). For checking if
needed reduced live load (42psf) are also used to find present condition of the structure.

Regarding the earthquake resistant structural design, it essential that the specific design code
is followed. For the analysis and design checking of this building, Equivalent Static Force
Method of BNBC (2006) is followed. The main considerations for calculation of earthquake load
are given below.
A full three-dimensional modelling of the structure has been developed using frame and
plate/shell elements. At base level, the columns are assumed to be hinged due to isolated
foundation.

[SQUARE APPARELS LTD. (Power House)] DETAILED ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT
The basic sources of loads are described in earlier section. These loads are applied on the model
in seven basic categories. These are as follows:
These seven basic load cases are analysed in ETABS v16.2.1. The results are then combined in
accordance with the specifications set forth by BNBC. BNBC specifies a number of combination
options. These are as follows:
For Concrete Structure:
❖ 1.4 D
❖ 1.4 D + 1.7 L
❖ 0.9 D + 1.3 (W or 1.1 E)
❖ 0.75 (1.4 D + 1.7 (W or 1.1 E))
❖ 0.75 (1.4 D + 1.7 L + 1.7 (W or 1.1 E))
❖ 1.4 (D + L + E)
Where D stands for total DEAD load i.e. D = DL + SDEA REPORT, L stands for live load i.e. L=LL,
W stands for wind load and E stands for earthquake load. When these seven basic load cases
are combined accordingly considering the direction of lateral loads, then according to BNBC
2006, we obtain, after simplification, the following thirty combination cases:
❖ Combination Case 1: 1.4 D
❖ Combination Case 2: 1.4 D + 1.7 L
❖ Combination Case 3: 1.05 D + 1.275 L + 1.275 Wx
❖ Combination Case 4: 1.05 D + 1.275 L - 1.275 Wx
❖ Combination Case 5: 1.05 D + 1.275 L + 1.275 Wy
❖ Combination Case 6: 1.05 D + 1.275 L - 1.275 Wy
❖ Combination Case 7: 1.05 D + 1.275 Wx
❖ Combination Case 8: 1.05 D - 1.275 Wx
❖ Combination Case 9: 1.05 D + 1.275 Wy
❖ Combination Case 10: 1.05 D - 1.275 Wy
❖ Combination Case 11: 0.9 D + 1.3 Wx
❖ Combination Case 12: 0.9 D - 1.3 Wx
❖ Combination Case 13: 0.9 D + 1.3 Wy
❖ Combination Case 14: 0.9 D - 1.3 Wy
❖ Combination Case 15: 1.05 D + 1.275 L + 1.4025 E x

But in ETABS analysis, we do not calculate combination cases 27, 28, 29 & 30.
For the assessment of garments building we consider the load combination provided by the
Guideline for RMG (November 08, 2013) by BNBC for RC structures. The following load
combination is used for the assessment:
