2.0 INTRODUCTION
Our team was given the task of designing a three-storey residential building comprising of six
apartments, a convenience store with ample car park. Our main aim is to ensure that the structure
is design safe against all possible loading conditions and to fulfil the function for which it will be
built. Safety requirements must be satisfied so that the structure is able to serve its purpose and be
maintained at minimum cost. The proposed location can be found in the community of Aranguez.
Once considered for its agricultural lands, we have seen more residential and commercial buildings
being constructed in this area in recent times. Its proximity to the highway is one of the many
reasons this geographical location was chosen.
The apartments designed to accommodate singles and/or working couples at an affordable standard
monthly rate. Each apartment would have an allotted parking space on the compound. The
apartments also have their own balcony where the individual(s) could look out relax and enjoy the
picturesque view. A bonus feature that would encourage future occupants is the onsite convenient
stores. They would be neatly situated on the ground and first floor and operated to provide the
occupants with the ease of access to local and imported goods.
This package comprises of structural drawings of the proposed structure, the structural analysis
and design. The computer software used to complete this project were Microsoft EXCEL,
Microsoft WORD, Microsoft PROJECT, in collaboration with Autodesk AUTO CAD and
STAAD Pro.

4.6 SELECTION OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
The building was designed to resist gravity loads such as dead and live loads. The two types of
structural systems which has been considered are reinforced concrete frame and structural steel
frame. In determining the best suitable system, the following were considered.
Environmental Considerations
Due to where the building is being located, there are no fault lines present. A concrete
would be applicable to construct as the building rather than steel. The building would be
situated kilometres from the sea therefore there wouldn’t be a direct exposure to corrosion
due to seawater hence a concrete structure is more applicable than a steel structure.
Soil Conditions
Liquefaction occurs where silt and loose grain soil are present, or the soil is easily
waterlogged. The heavier structure would topple over. Concrete is eight times heavier than
steel. The soil present at the site consists of silty clay alluvium which contains silt, clay
and gravel. This type of soil would be optimal therefore bearing, settlement and drainage
wouldn’t be a major concern. A heavy structure can be constructed on this type of soil
therefore a concrete structure would be applicable.
Cost
Steel and concrete would have its pros and cons in terms of cost. Although a concrete
structure is more expensive to construct rather a steel structure, the maintenance of a
concrete structure is cheaper therefore a concrete structure would be more applicable in
terms of long-term expenditure.
Fire Resistance
A Concrete structure has a higher fire resistance compared to a steel structure. The building
would be used as rental apartments the concrete structure would be the best option to
construct.
Building Layout
17 | P a g e
The buildings are less than twenty stories therefore concrete would be applicable as well
as the columns are evenly distributed.
Accessibility to Site
The site is readily accessible concrete can be used. if the site is not accessible a steel
structure would be the best option available. The site is readily accessible and situated in a
large area therefore a concrete structure can be constructed.
Concrete is readily available in Trinidad and Tobago compare to steel which must be
imported.
Erection Time
Concrete structure can generally have a longer erection time compare to its counterpart
steel. From the use of formwork, curing time concrete structures takes time but the use of
proper planning and management techniques this can help speed up construction time
drastically, which make it possible for projects to be completed on time.
In Conclusion, a concrete structure was selected over a steel structure based on the criteria above.
A rigid frame would be used with two-way slabs and isolated pad footings.

4.7 DESIGN APPROACH
4.7.1 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Our team developed this design calculation package for a three-storey residential apartment
building having been provided with the architectural drawings by the client. Our primary focus for
this project were to ensure the structure is safe against all loading conditions and functional. Based
on the structure’s size and purpose, we determined that the structural system would be constructed
using reinforced concrete.
The structural design of a reinforce concrete building were done for this project which entails all
the structural members sure as floor slab, beams, columns and footing. For the floor slab it was
design as a Two-way slab with the roof slab being 125mm thick and the first and second floor
140mm thick casted on top of 350 wide x 400 deep reinforced concrete beam which are connected
to 350mm square reinforced concrete column supported by various sizes of reinforced concrete
pad footing foundation which are inter-connected by 400mm square ground beams (not design for
in this package), the staircase was designed to anchored to supporting beams and the floor slab.
Concrete strength for staircase being 3000 psi and concrete strength for all other structural
elements being 4000 psi.
The analysis of the structure was performed via design software STAAD Pro. The building was
model in the program, member attributes were assigned, gravity loads only as per code were
imposed on the structure, load combinations were then added to the model and analysis performed
on the structure to get the necessary outputs such as bending moments, shear force and torsion.
Once this information was identified, excel spreadsheet is the use to calculate sizes and
reinforcement. Adjustment to member sizes maybe required if assume sizing used in model is not
adequate or overly excessive. This is done to product a more economical design that is self but still
comply with (Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-08/14) and
Commentary)

4.8 METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW
4.8.1 ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
Steps used for the Analysis of the Structure:
Model structure
Assign member properties
Apply Loads
Analyse structure
Review output data
The structural analysis is used to establish the relationship between a structural member’s
expected external load and the structure’s corresponding developed internal stresses and
displacements that occur with the member when in service (Pilla, 2017). For this structure,
we focused on the analysis of the vertical loads and the forces applied. We produced a model
based on the arbitrary loads assigned to the structural members using STAAD Pro. The
analysis then predicted the response of the structure to these applied loads. It is at this
preliminary stage that the structural design is integrated into the analysis. The structural
members sizes and reinforcements are determined based on the results.
The building is required to be design and also constructed to meet the requirement of building
codes and regulations. These are documents that govern the design and construction of all
building and is enforceable by law. These codes do not online specific design procedures but
does specify the design requirements along with constraints that must be satisfied in order for
a building safety. Any structure that is being design must be able to support the minimum
loads specified, therefore an investigate required actual loads on the building base on the
intended use of said building must be done by the engineer. These design loads were option

4.8.2 DESIGN METHODOLOGY
STAAD PRO
STAAD PRO is a computer aided engineering software tool used mostly by structural, civil
engineers and architects. It was originally established and developed by Research Engineers
International in the year 1997, however Research Engineers international was duly bought by
Bentley in the year 2005. For this project, it was used in conjunction with Microsoft Excel to
analyse and aid in the design of the structural members of this building. STAAD PRO is accepted
by the Board of Engineering of Trinidad and Tobago.
Autodesk AutoCAD
This is a computer aided design software developed to create precise 2D and 3D drawings for
architects, engineers and construction professionals. AutoCAD was used to develop all
architectural drawings for this project.
Microsoft EXCEL
This is a spreadsheet application launched in 1985 by the Microsoft Corporation. Typically used
for organising data in columns and rows that can be manipulated through formulas that allow
the software to perform mathematical functions on the data. Used for the design of the structural
members of this project. It helped determined the sizes, reactions, moments, deflection, strain and
reinforcement details required to counteract and resist the vertical loads that will be applied.
Microsoft EXCEL spreadsheet calculations is accepted by the Board of Engineering of Trinidad
and Tobago.
Microsoft Word
It is a graphical word processing software which allows the user to type various documents, edit
and format to suit the industry it was intended for. This report was documented using Microsoft
Word which enabled us to format, edit in the appropriate standard required.

4.9.3 COLUMN DESIGN
The design of column members was done via Microsoft excel. Once the model was generated the
location of critical columns with the highest axial load where identified and its values was then
utilized to design the columns. For simplicity, the columns were grouped into 3 categories, Column
1 (C1), Column 2 (C2) and Column 3 (C3), each have the same dimension of 350mmx 350mm but
each column type carries different reinforcement base on their location on the structure and the
forces that acts on the column. The design of the beams follows Building Code Requirements for
Structural Concrete (ACI 318-08) and Commentary
Reinforced concrete pad footings-based foundation system was adopted for this structure as it was
one of the best options for the assumed soil properties. According to (Structural Concrete Theory
and Design, Sixth Edition by M. Nadim Hassoun, Akthem Al-Manaseer) “The proper design of
footings requires that”
7. Differential settlement.

Soil properties assumed for this project is as follows:
Soil allowable bearing pressure 3’ (900mm) below ground level 6000 psf
Soil unit weight 100 pcf
Angle of soil internal friction 35 degrees

5.0 ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURAL
The structure is made up of a system of interconnected members that are utilize to support external
loads. Predicting the response of the structure to external loads specified member elements is the
definition of Structural analysis. At the stage of the preliminary structural design, the structure’s
potential applied load is estimated, and also the size of the structure’s members is determined based
on these estimated loads. Base on this hand calculation is done firstly using the Moment
distribution method to develop the moments that are generated in the structure frame. This is then
compared to the Staad results as an addition check. Once the values are vitrificated, the critical
members obtained from the Staad model were designed for the varies elements of the structure.
28 | P a g e
The below tables demonstrate the comparison of the resulted moments from and STAAD pro Analysis and
the Excel spreadsheet manual analysis.
5.1.2 Conclusion
Comparing the excel table with the result from STAAD result are not close except node 41 for
beam CB, this may result in errors in load calculating the uniform load distribution for a two slab
in excel yielding a less accurate result. It is recommended to use STAAD for frame analysis.

In this report the ground beams were not design. A typical detail of the ground bean was shown in
the drawing package for completion of the design. Ground beams are used in constructed at the
foundational level of a structure. Ground beams helps to support the joist, wall footing and other
structures, mainly in places add extra support to the structure. In other words, ground beams help
to provide a strong foundation.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
3.0 SCOPE
The topics which are to be discussed with respect to the project feasibility include the
following:
2|Page
4.0 CONSTRAINTS
a. Technical Feasibility
The following problems would hinder the feasibility of the project:
Area that is suitable for the storage of equipment and materials
During the construction, Equipment or heavy machinery
as well as materials such as beams would be required to
place at an area near the site.
Changes in design of superstructure
Although the design has been made before construction,
the client may have another opinion of the design or the
design was not logical and therefore changes would be
required.
Transportation of large equipment and materials
Equipment and materials should be transported
efficiently throughout the construction to allow the work
to be conducted easily.
Manual and Material Handling
Materials will fall when it is being carried from one story
to the next.
Inaccurate estimation of time
The project may not be scheduled as plan as delay would
occur as well as some tasks would take a longer time to
be completed.
Availability of building materials and equipment
Materials or equipment may not be delivered on time or
there is a shortage of materials.
Damage of materials and equipment
Equipment as well as materials may be damage due to
collision or falling objects.
b. Economic Feasibility
The following reasons would hinder the feasibility of the project:
3|Page
Bankruptcy
The funds for the site may have been emptied before the project
has been completed.
Insurance risks
There is no Coverage of workers in case of accidents and
property damage.
Liquation of costs
Delay in payments and increase in cash flow can cause liquation
to occur.
Misuse of funds
More money would be spent on another task that has originally
been planned.
Financial loss
A profit may not be generated by the building during operation
and a financial loss may occur.
c. Social Feasibility
The following are social concerns which would affect the feasibility of the
project:
Culture
The culture of the persons living in the community would differ.
Economic value of Community
Economic value of businesses in the surrounding area
Hazards
Hazards occurring around the construction site where
pedestrians have accessibility such as sidewalks.
d. Environmental Feasibility
The following are factors which hinders the environmental feasibility of the project.
Air Pollution
Dust would be present during construction
4|Page
Noise
Noise from the equipment being used as well as constructing the
superstructure.
Soil
Proper soil type to ensure unsettlement doesn’t occur due to the
weight of the building.
Transportation of large equipment and materials to site would be vital to ensure that each phase
of the project is completed on time. Pathways should be cleared, and materials and equipment
should be secured properly during transportation. When materials are being transferred from
one storey to the next, they should be secured properly, and its surrounding areas should be
cleared from personnel as well as any obstacles. During the construction process, there would
be a shortage of labour occurring therefore job satisfaction is necessary to ensure there is a
strong workforce for the project. Each employee would be given the same workload to ensure
that they are not overworked.
The project should be completed on time; therefore, a schedule should be developed to ensure
that no delays occur. Availability of building materials and equipment is necessary therefore
backup equipment are required as well as an estimation of the amount of material is done for
each task. To avoid damage of equipment there should be enough space between each working
equipment as well as storage of materials.
5|Page
5.2 Environmental Mitigation Measures: -
The environment plays a major role in the feasibility of this building. The main problems which
hinders the construction through environmental concerns are noise and air pollution and
disasters and the soil type. The building is situated in Aranguez where flora and fauna is least
present therefore ecosystems would not be damaged. Air pollution is a major concern as dust
would arise during the construction phase but would decrease when the construction is
completed. To prevent surrounding areas and the construction site from being affected by the
dust, the following should be done: Fine water sprays should be used to dampen the dust and
Mesh Screening is used around surrounding areas where a high concentration of dust is present.
Noise will occur at the construction site and therefore would be a disturbance to the surrounding
environment. To reduce the noise, the use of vibrating machinery is reduced as well as
operation of vehicles are done during daytime instead of night. Soil capacity is required for the
project to be feasible to ensure that unsettlement doesn’t occur. The building is being
constructed on soil which consist of silty clay alluvium therefore the soil would be suitable for
the weight of the infrastructure thus preventing unsettlement.
An environmental assessment is done for each factor which may hinder the feasibility. This
assessment would educate the contractor in knowing if the project would be feasible in terms
of environment. According to the environmental matrix conducted, the project would be
feasible to conduct as the effects wouldn’t be everlasting as well as there wouldn’t be any
danger to the environment.

Financial feasibility assesses how much money is required for the operation of the project as
well as the revenue which can be generated after construction has been completed. The main
purpose of the structure is for rental therefore revenue would be generated for each fiscal year.
According to the bill of quantities in the project report, the completion of infrastructure would
have a cost estimate of $7,791,538.23 million dollars. In ensuring this project is feasible,
investors would be introduced to ensure there is enough money to carry out the construction
efficiently in each project as well as to avoid bankruptcy as it’s a large sum of money. The
misuse of funds is avoided by a report being done for the use of funds for each task as well as
a cost estimation.
To ensure that this project would be viable analysis is done to determine the revenue generated
when the building is in operation compared to the cost of the building during construction. This
analysis would educate the client on the feasibility of the project.

From the analysis done above, the money in which was invested would return and a profit
would be generated with cost of maintenance not creating a loss to the project. As a profit was
made, the project would be feasible to proceed.
To avoid bankruptcy occurring, it is ensured that funds are used efficiently, and a cost
performance index is done to ensure excessive funds are used for a task. Insurance are given to
employees in case of any accidents to ensure they are fully compensated. Liquation of costs
can be avoided therefore funds should be readily available in case of a debt and a solicitor
should be hired.
The area surrounding the construction complex would be barred off to avoid damage to
pedestrians walking along the road where the complex is being built. Vehicular traffic would
8|Page
be avoided as transportation of materials would be re-routed on days where heavy vehicular
traffic are present.
Medium Hazards 1
High Economic 1
Value
According to the assessment done the project would be feasible as the social aspect of the
construction of the building wouldn’t be affected as the building would be beneficial to the
community.
6.0 CONCLUSION
From this report, it can be concluded that the project would be feasible to construct as the
problems that arises during the construction process can be fixed. This would ensure that the
project would be completed on time without having a vast impact to the client, contractor,
environment and the community.
