THE BEST STRUCTURAL DESIGNER
IS NOT NECESSARILY THE ONE
WHO MAKES THE FEWEST
MISTAKES INITIALLY, BUT
PROBABLY IS THE ONE WHO
DISCOVERS THE LARGEST
PERCENTAGE OF HIS OR HER
MISTAKES AND CORRECTS THEM.
HISTORY OF STRUCTURAL
ANALYSIS
•Structural Analysis deals with the design and analysis of
structures used to support loads in the most economical manner,
with maximum element of safety.
•One of the greatest ancient structures was the Pyramid of Giza that
was constructed in the 26th century BC. The major structures during
this period were the pyramids since the shape of the pyramids is
basically stable.
•Due to the rapid growth of computer technology and other
sciences, there has been a profound advancement in the science of
structural engineering.
HISTORY OF STRUCTURAL
ANALYSIS
Methods of Structural Analysis used in History.
Slope Deflection Method- Continuous Beam
Moment Distribution Method
Common Approximate Method, Moment Coefficient Method
(Elastic Analysis)
Portal Method- Lateral Loads.
Matrix Analysis
HISTORY OF STRUCTURAL
ANALYSIS
Finite Element Analysis
Finite Difference Method- Nodal Analysis
Programs of the finite element analysis can now precisely
calculate the distribution of stresses in structures, and indicate the
stresses in the structure in a time convenient way.
These programs offer numerous simulation options in the field of
modeling and analysis of different systems.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN
Analyze the Architectural Drawings.
Check whether it follow building Bye-Laws.
Check the Building regularity.
Check the span, and preliminary design of beam (L/12) and slab
(deflection & thickness) needs to be done.
Check the plans and calculate the loads according to IS 875: Part
2.
Check the number of stories, Story height and Total building
dimensions along X and Y for calculation of Time Period.
CALCULATIONS OF LOADS
{SHELL}
Loads on Slabs [Imposed Loadings]: {Refer IS 875: Part2}
Residential- Maximum 3 KN/m²
Commercial- Maximum 5 KN/m²
Use different Load Patterns for Loads upto 3 KN/m² and greater than
3 KN/m²
Load Check by using Force/Area=Pressure, Residential (Less than
10), Commercial (greater than 10 less than 15 {depending upon the
loading}
Density of Materials:
Brickwork: 19 KN/m³, Marble : 26.70 KN/m³, Screeding/Punning-
20.40 KN/m³
Wood: 8.5 KN/m³, Tiles- 0.5 KN/m², Parqueting- 0.15 KN/m²
Manual Calculations of the Partition Wall Load, Machine Loadings,
CALCULATIONS OF LOADS
{FRAME}
Floor Height- h, Beam Depth- d, Slab Depth- S , Thickness of wall- t
d
For Wall Openings; You can take 70% of the calculated Load.
30% of design earthquake along other direction is taken for lateral load resisting
elements that are not oriented along mutually orthogonal horizontal directions
