REPORT ON STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Structure:
Structure usually refers to any large man made object permanently fixed
to earth surface as a result at construction.
Structure & load are inter related with each other. To analysis any structural system
We need to have a clear conception about different types of loads.

Different types of loads:

*Dead load
*Live load
*Wind load

Live load:
All the movable object in a building produce a superimposed load on the structure .

Dead load:
The weight of primary elements of a building such as beams, floor slabs
& columns produced dead load on the structure.

Wind load:
Wind has become a very important load in recent years due to the extensive use
of lighter Materials & more efficient building technique.

Earth pressure:
The horizontal force of a soil mass exerts on a vertical retaining structure.

Settlement load:
If one part of the building settles more than another part, stresses are set up in the structure.
if the structure is flexible than the stresses will be small but if the structure is stiff, the will be
severe unless the two parts of the building are physically separated.

Dynamic load:
Dynamic loads provide impact & aerodynamic loads, aero complex. in essence the
magnitude of a load can be greatly increased by its dynamic effects.
WALL SLAB STRUCTURE

In this system horizontal load is transferred from slab to load bearing wall.
There Are Two Types Of Wall Slab-
1.Concrete Wall Slab
2.Brick Wall Slab

CHACHTERISTICS :

•.Solid void relation is an important factor

•Load bearing walls should maintain
•Lintel height is 7’
•The thickness of lintel should be 5”-6”
•Lintel should be 1’ extended from the both edge of window wall slab structure
•Maximum Height Is 40’-50’. wall slab structure
•Slab Load May Be Distributed In Two Ways –
1. One Way Slab.
2.Two Way Slab.
•Extended slab should be 6” in thickness otherwise it give looks of beam
•Corner Treatment Is Necessary.
•Solidity Should Be Remained.
•Have No Earthquake Resistance.
•Slab May Be Extended At Any Height Level.
•Small Openings Are Used.
•Windows are arranged in groups
•Columns are always linear in shape

POST LINTLE ( BEAM-COLUMN )
Post lintel is a simple construction technique where a horizontal member
(lintel) is supported by two vertical posts at either end.
In this system loads coming from the slab is transferred to the ground
firstly through the beams and then through the columns.

Two main forces act on the members :

•Tension
•Compression
At mid span the top of the lintel is under compression and the bottom is in
tension.

TWO-WAY R.C.C. FLOOR SLAB:

There are two type of system: If the length to breadth ratio of the room is less than 2, the floor slab
is designed as a two-way reinforced slab . In this case, main

For small spans, say up to 3.6m, which are not the breadth of the room.
subjected to heavy loadings, a simple slabs may
sufficient. When the ratio of length of the room to its
breadth is greater than 2, floor slab is designed to
span along the width of the room as a one-way
slab. In this case the main reinforcement of the
slab span along the width, while distribution bars
are laid parallel to the length of a room
