DETAILED ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT REPORT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Building-1 of Rupa Knitwear (Pvt) Ltd & Rupa Fabrics Ltd. is a ten storied RC flat slab
structure.
A team from ALLIANCE (BV) conducted visual assessment of the building#1 on 29th
May, 2014. They recommended to perform check for structural integrity of the factory
building. In this concern, Rupa Knitwear (Pvt) Ltd & Rupa Fabrics Ltd. engaged
Sthapona Consultants for performing Detail Engineering Assessment along with
checking architectural and structural drawing of the factory building.
The structural and architectural drawings were verified by Ferro-scanning, dimensions

measurement, plaster removing etc. There are few changes in as-built condition with
architectural & structural drawings which has been incorporated during DEA.
For Detail Engineering Assessment one of the key inputs is the concrete strength. We
collected sixteen cores (twelve from columns, four from slabs of different floors). We
found equivalent concrete strength for column is 2996 psi, for slab is 3726 psi. The
equivalent concrete strength has been calculated according to ACI 562.
We incorporated existing live load, concrete strength, rebar information etc. in the finite
element model of this building. Considering the concrete strength suggested by ACI 562,
all the columns and flat slab has been analyzed for 63 psf live load. All of the foundations
are adequate for bearing capacity & some of the foundation is overstressed for punching shear.
Live load reduction factor has been applied where applicable according to BNBC 2006.
Considering BNBC 2006 load combinations (i.e. gravity and lateral load) some columns
& shear walls are f o u n d t o b e overstressed and flat slab are overstressed, few
beams are overstressed due to shear and torsion. Shear walls require more reinforcement
than provided.
We recommend rectify the overstressed members.

We also recommend that each floor above ground floor must not exceed 30 psf live load
until rectification.

3.2 VERIFICATION OF REINFORCEMENT USING FERRO-SCANNER & REMOVING

CONCRETE COVER
We have performed Ferro-scanning in different locations of the columns & slab and removed
concrete cover of one column to verify the structural drawings. We have found that number and
size of rebar are slightly different as mentioned in structural design drawings for the surveyed
location. Detail results of Ferro scanning and concrete cover removing are shown in DT &
NDT report (Annex).

4 ANALYSIS FOR STRUCTURAL ADEQUACY
4.1 STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

Generally, the structural system of Building#1 of Rupa Knitwear (Pvt) Ltd & Rupa
Fabrics Ltd. is a RC Flat Plate slab (Figure 4.1.1). Grade beam had been provided along
both directions of the building. Moreover, a steel shed was found on roof. The building
may be classified as ordinary moment resisting frame. General 3D view of the building
has been presented in Figure 4.1.2.

STHAPONA CONSULTANTS 10 | P a g e
4.2 CODES AND PRACTICES

For the present project relevant sections of Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC,
2006) have been used for analysis. For the reinforced concrete design check, American
Concrete Institute (ACI 318-99) code has been consulted as and when became necessary
to complement the BNBC. American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-02) has also been used
for NTPA.
4.3 MATERIAL PROPERTY
The principal material of construction is reinforced concrete. As per investigation and

design drawings, the following material properties has been used:
 Yield strength of steel, fy = 60,000 lb/in2 (From credible design drawings, roof rod)
 Compressive Strength of concrete of Column, fc' = 2,996 lb/in2 (as per ACI-
562 using Core Test Results)
 Compressive Strength of concrete of Slab, fc' = 3,726 lb/in2(as per ACI-562 using
Core Test Results)
 Young's modulus of concrete, Ec = 57,000 √fc' (for Stone Chips)
4.3 LOADS
The loads that may act upon the structure are as follows:
4.4.1 Dead Loads

Dead loads (D) are those gravity load which remain acting on the structure permanently
without any change during the structures normal service life. These are basically the loads
coming from the weight of the different components of the structure. For the sake of
convenience in the analysis, sometimes this kind of loads are divided into two types,
namely a) self-weight of the structure (SW) and b) the weight coming from the non-
structural permanent components of the building (SDEAD). In concrete building the
weight of slabs, beams and columns etc. which form the main structural system is
considered the self-weight (SW). The weights of floor finish, water proofing layer,
partition walls and other non-structural permanent components generally constitute the rest
of the total dead load, i.e. (SDEAD). For the analysis and design checking of the building,
following are the values of dead loads,
 Unit weight of reinforced concrete = 150 pcf

 Unit weight of brickwork = 120 pcf
Floor Finish
Typical Floors 15 psf
4.4.2 Live Load
Live load is the gravity load due to non-permanent objects like machines, furniture, and
human. Analysis has been carried out based on load recommended by BNBC (2006).
According to BNBC we have considered 63 psf live load for analysis. And for NTPA
compliance (When the structure seems not compliant with BNBC loading condition) we
have used reduced live load=42 psf.
4.4.3 Wind Load (W)

Bangladesh is typically a storm prone area where consideration to the thrust due to storm
must be given in the analysis and design of building and structures. Wind load due to storm
is typically modelled as lateral thrust force causing sway or overturning of the building.
Detailed specifications on wind loading on buildings are outlined in BNBC (2006). The
present project is located in Dhaka, for which the following basic parameters are used in
wind load calculation,
 Basic wind speed, Vb= 215 km/h (Gazipur)

 Exposure category = A
 Structure Importance coefficient CI =1.00
4.4.4 Earthquake Load (E)

Proper structural design of any building structure must include loads due to earthquake
shaking. Although there has been no major incident of earthquake hazard in the recent
past of Bangladesh, earthquakes are not uncommon in this area. Scientific geological study
of the earth crust below Bangladesh shows that Bangladesh does fall in moderate to high
seismic risk zone. Statistical evidence from past major and minor earthquake incidents
shows that a major earthquake is overdue in the recent times of geological scale. Therefore,
it is necessary to prepare against any possible earthquake hazard. It should be kept in mind
that the objective of earthquake resistance building design is not to make a strong building
which can resist any damage due to earthquake. Instead, earthquake resistant design
basically aims at minimizing the possible damage and casualty to an acceptable level.
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.
 Zone co-efficient, Z = 0.15 (zone 2, As Per BNBC 2006)

 Structure importance co-efficient, I = 1.00 (Standard Occupancy, Table 6.2.23,
BNBC 2006)
 Response modification co-efficient, R = 5.0 (OMRF, Table 6.2.24, BNBC)
 Site co-efficient, S 3= 1.5 (type 3 soil as suggested in Table 6.2.25, BNBC)
4.5 METHOD OF ANALYSIS

Depending on the type of project, there are several well-established methods among which
Finite Element Method (FEM) is perhaps the most sophisticated and all-encompassing
one. For analysis and design checking of the building, powerful finite element based
structural design software package ETABS- V16.2.0 has been employed for analysis. Some
aspects of the analysis process are discussed in the following paragraphs.
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 held hinged due to
spread foundation.
4.6 LOADING AND LOAD COMBINATION

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:
 Load Case 1: Self-weight of structure (SW).
 Load Case 2: Floor finish and partition wall (SDEAD).
 Load Case 3: Live load on roof (LL)
 Load Case 4: Earthquake load on East-West Direction. (Ex)
 Load Case 5: Earthquake load on North-South Direction. (Ey)
 Load Case 6: Wind load on East-West Direction. (Wx)
 Load Case 7: Wind load on North-South Direction. (Wy)
These seven basic load cases are analysed by ETABS-V9.7.4. The results are then
combined in accordance with BNBC. These are as follows:
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 L + 1.7 (W or 1.1 E))
Where D stands for total dead load i.e. D = DL + SDEAD, 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, we obtain, after
simplification, the following twenty-two 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 Ex
 Combination Case 16: 1.05 D + 1.275 L - 1.4025 Ex
 Combination Case 17: 1.05 D + 1.275 L + 1.4025 Ey
 Combination Case 18: 1.05 D + 1.275 L - 1.4025 Ey
 Combination Case 19: 1.05 D + 1.4025 Ex
 Combination Case 20: 1.05 D - 1.4025 Ex
 Combination Case 21: 1.05 D + 1.4025 Ey
 Combination Case 22: 1.05 D - 1.4025 Ey
 Combination Case 23: 0.9 D + 1.43 Ex
 Combination Case 24: 0.9 D - 1.43 Ex
 Combination Case 25: 0.9 D + 1.43 Ey
 Combination Case 26: 0.9 D - 1.43 Ey
 Combination Case 27: 1.4 D + 1.4 L + 1.4 Ex
 Combination Case 28: 1.4 D + 1.4 L - 1.4 Ex
 Combination Case 29: 1.4 D + 1.4 L + 1.4 Ey
 Combination Case 30: 1.4 D + 1.4 L - 1.4 Ey
But in ETABS analysis, we do not calculate last four combination cases (Combination
case 27, 28, 29 & 30).
4.7 BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

In any finite element analysis, applying appropriate boundary conditions are important.
Without appropriate boundary conditions the model of building structure may not be
stable. On the other hand, application of excessive restraints may render the structure too
stiff resulting in development of unreasonable stresses. For a structure like this building,
it is reasonable to assume that the bases of columns are not fully restrained in all directions.
4.8 APPLICATION OF LOAD AND ANALYSIS

A static analysis is performed using the loadings and combinations of loads (mentioned
earlier) for the Building#1. Some pictorial representation of the analysis results are shown
in figures below.

5 EVALUATION OF STRUCTURAL MEMBERS
5.1 CHECKING ADEQUACY OF FOUNDATION WITH 63PSF LIVE

LOAD
Provided structural drawings of the project shows that isolated column foundation had
been used for this project (Figure 5.1). We have checked adequacy of footing size &
thickness for 63 Psf live load. Average bearing capacity of soil has been found 8.88 Ksf
with factor of safety 2 from the soil report prepared by “STRAIN FIELD
GEOTECHNIQUE LIMITED” in JULY-2016.

Figure 5.2 (snapshot of model developed by ETABS) shows model nodes where
foundation was provided. Ultimate capacity of foundations and corresponding factor of
safety has been shown in Table 5.1 to Table 5.2 for different type of foundations. From
the tables conditions of foundations are found.

5.2 CHECKING ADEQUACY OF COLUMN WITH 63 PSF LIVE

LOADING
Typical column layout plan is shown in Error! Reference source not found.3 with grid
results has been shown based on model grid. Assessment of columns (P-M-M Interaction
Ratio) according to BNBC 2006 with 63 psf live load has been presented in Figure 5.3 to
onwards. According to standard practice, column with P-M-M value greater than 1.0
consider as Over-stressed. However, it is found that all the peripheral & some other
columns are Over-stressed.

6 CONCLUSION
According to BNBC loading condition (63psf Live Load)-
 All of the footings are adequate in size (in respect of soil bearing capacity)
 Some of the footings are overstressed due to punching shear.
 Shear walls, few columns are over-stressed for BNBC load combination.
 Few beams are overstressed due to shear and torsion.
 The flat slab is overstressed considering 63 psf live load.
7 RECOMMENDATION
We strongly recommend to rectify over-stressed members immediately. We also recommend that

each floor above ground floor must not exceed 30 psf live load until rectification.

The assessment engineer made the above observations & recommendations from Core
test, NDT results & mathematical modelling of the building. We applied our best
engineering judgments. We do not bear responsibility for any deviation from the predicted
behavior of the structure caused by uncertainties of performance or calamities.
ANNEX -I
NON DESTRUCTIVE & DESTRUCTIVE TEST RESULTS

[BUILDING-1, RUPA KNITWEAR (PVT) LTD & RUPA FABRICS LTD.,
KUNIA, BOARD BAZAR, GAZIPUR.]
Executive Summary of the Test Results (NDT & DT)

 We have inspected the building (Bldg#1) visually at 6th April, 2015 for first time. The
building is ten storied with semi-basement RCC structure of flat plate slab. We have
performed NDT & DT tests in columns, and slab in several times in April.
 We have performed detailed rebar scanning using Ferro-Scan at Eight (8) locations to find
the reinforcement used in structural members. Among the Eight, five scans were done for
ground floor column, one scan was done for ground floor slab, and one scan was done for
third floor column and one scan for third floor slab. Also a lot of quick scan were performed
to verify the reinforcement in columns and slab.
 We have checked rebar no. and diameter of columns and spacing of slab by removing
concrete cover.
 We have performed concrete strength test by cutting Core (Destructive) at sixteen (16)
locations in column and slab. All the cores have been taken from different floor. After
cutting the Core, we have tested it by Universal Testing Machine at BUET lab. We found
that stone chips were used for concreting of column and slab. We found the concrete
strength is on a range from 2460 psi to 4810 psi for column and 3870 psi and 5570 psi for
slab and calculated average concrete strength is of column is 3491 psi and of slab is 4630
psi. However, considering the Guide line of ACI 562, the Equivalent Concrete strength is
2996 psi for column and 3726 psi for slab.
 We have checked the footing size and thickness by foundation exploration.
