Introduction

The report below is the Detailed Basis Report for a dormitory for more than 1,000
students.
This report outlines the fundamental design principles, objectives and considerations that
underpin the construction of this sports hostel. It serves as a comprehensive roadmap,
detailing the structural and operational aspects essential to creating a world-class
residential facility that will not only accommodate the athletes but also serve as a catalyst
for their development.
Description Remarks

Type of Building RCC framed structure

(As per choice)
Building category Residential
(As per IS 875 (Part 2) – 1987)
Seismic zone IV
(As per IS: 1893 – 2016)

Software Used
In the due course of the assignment, mainly two software were used. These are:

 AutoCAD
This software was used to design the plan of the building. All the various floor
plans, beam and column plan, annotations, centerlines were made using the same.
Finally, detailing of beams, columns and foundations as also done using AutoCAD.

 STAAD Pro
The beam and column plan of the hostel was exported from AutoCAD. This was
then imported into STAAD in the form of nodes. Then through commands of linear
translation the structure was created, specifications, supports and loading added,
finally structural analysis and design of the building was done.

DESIGN & CALCULATIONS
Each column and beam will be conceptualized as line components. All shear walls will be
idealized using the plate/shell element. The structure must be studied and constructed for
all potential combinations of gravity loads (dead and live loads) and lateral loads (seismic
load, wind loads, and temperature loads in accordance with applicable/relevant BIS
Codes).

Materials Used
As dead load, all permanent loads on the structure are imposed. The structure's dead load
consists of the self-weight of beams, columns, walls, partitions, floors, and roofs, as well
as the weight of all other permanent constructions in accordance with the IS: 1911
Schedule of unit weights of building materials. Unit weight of various materials
considered on the structural members considered follows:
S.No. Material Density (kN/m3)
1 Concrete 25.0
2 Steel 78.5
3 Soil 20.0
4 Water 9.81
5 Glass 26.0

6 Brick 19.2

Loading & Other Design Considerations

The structure shall be designed for the following load cases:

Dead Load
The dead load consists of the weight of the structure, complete with finishes,
fixtures, and partition walls.

Imposed Loads
The minimum live loads on different occupancies shall be considered as per IS 875
(Part 2) – 1987.

Wall Loads Calculation
For outer wall calculations:
Width of brick = 230 mm
Floor to floor height = 3.5 m
Clear height = 3.2 m (assuming depth of beam is 300 mm)
Brick density = 19.2 kN/m3
Mortar thickness = 12 mm
Mortar density = 20 kN/m3
Load = (0.23*19.2 + 0.012*20) *3.2 ~ 14.9 kN/m (approx.)

After 25% Opening Reduction: - 14.9*0.75 ~ 11.2 kN/m (approx.)

Opening reduction is given for the space for doors and windows
Considering 15% is occupied by glass, and 5% is occupied by steel for the
framework
Thickness of glass = 5 mm
Density of glass = 26 kN/m3
Glass load = 0.005*26*3.2*0.15 = 0.06 kN/m (approx.)
Thickness of steel framework = 25 mm
Density of steel = 78.5 kN/m3
Framework load = 0.05*78.5*3.2*0.025 = 0.3 kN/m (approx.)

For inner wall calculations:

Width of brick = 110 mm
Floor to floor height = 3.5 m
Clear height = 3.2 m
Brick density = 19.2 kN/m3
Mortar thickness = 12 mm

4
 Mortar density = 20 kN/m3
Load = (0.110*19.2 + 0.012*20)*3.2 ~ 7.5 kN/m (approx.)

After 10% Opening Reduction: - 7.5*0.9 ~ 6.8 kN/m (approx.)

Rest actual provided in the STAAD editor file according to the opening/layout plan.

Floor Load
1. RCC Slab load(For 250mm thk. sunk slab)
Slab(125mm) = 0.125*25 = 3.125 kN/m2
Finish (50mm) = 0.050*24 = 1.2 kN/m2
Plaster (12mm) = 0.012*20 = 0.24 kN/m2
Sunk(200mm) = 0.25*20 = 5 kN/m2

Dead load Total = 3.125 + 1.2 + 0.24 + 5 = 9.565 kN/m2

Say = 9.6 kN/m2

2. RCC Slab load (For 125mm thk. Terrace slab)

Slab(125mm) = 0.125*25 = 3.125 kN/m2
Terrace(125mm) = 0.125*20 = 2.5 kN/m2

Dead Total Load = 3.125 + 2.5 = 5.625 kN/m 2

3. RCC Slab load (For 150mm thk.)

Slab(150mm) = 0.15*25 = 3.75 kN/m2
Finishing(50mm) = 0.050*24 = 1.2 kN/m2
Plaster(12mm) = 0.012*20 = 0.24 kN/m2

5
 Dead load Total = 3.75 + 1.2 + 0.24 = 5.19 kN/m2
Say = 5.2 kN/m2

Seismic Load
As explained before, the seismic force shall be calculated in accordance with IS: 1893 –
2016. As the whole district of New Delhi comes under seismic intensity Zone-IV, the
following parameters are considered in calculating seismic load.
Zone factor (Z) = 0.24
Response reduction factor (RF) = 5.0
Importance factor, I = 1.2
Soil type = II (As per soil report)
Damping in structure = 0.05%
Type of structure (ST) = 1.0
Time Period = 0.075*h0.75 second.

‘h’ assumed = height of building

The Response spectrum method was used as per IS: 1893 (Part-1) 2016 with the
following data:
∗ ∗
Design horizontal seismic coefficient (Ah) =
∗ ∗

Load Combinations for Limit States Serviceability Considered for Design

Load combinations according are: 1893(PART 1) 2016 for limit state collapse:
1) 1.2[DL + LL ± (ELX ± 0.3 ELY)] and
1.2[DL + LL ± (ELY ± 0.3 ELX)]

2) 1.5[DL + LL ± (ELX ± 0.3 ELY)] and

1.5[DL + LL ± (ELY ± 0.3 ELX)]

3) 0.9DL ± 1.5(ELX ± 0.3 ELY) and

0.9DL ± 1.5(ELY ± 0.3 ELX)

Where, DL = Dead Load

LL = Live Load
WL = Wall Load
The most critical of the above combinations are considered for design.
