Understanding Structural Design of

RCC Building Components

1.0 Introduction

The procedure for ana lysis and design of a given building depends on

the t ype of building, it s complexit y, the number of sto ries etc. Based

on preliminar y architec tural drawings of the building, structu ral system

is f inalized & sizes of structural members are decided and conve yed to

the concerned architect.

Befo re start ing the structural design of bu ild ing, the fo llowing

informat ion /data are required –

( i) A set of architectural drawings;

( ii) Soil Investigat ion report (SIR) or soil data in lieu thereof;

( iii) Locat ion of the p lace or cit y in order to decide on wind and

seismic loadings;

( iv) Data for lifts, water tank capac it ies on top, special roof

features or loadings, etc.

Choice of an appropriate structural system for a given bu ilding is

vital for its econom y and safet y. There are two type of building

systems:-

(a) Load Bearing Masonry Buildings.

(b) Framed Build ings.

(a) Load Bearing Masonry Buildings:-

Small buildings like houses with small spans of beams & slabs

are generally constructed as load bearing brick wall structures with

reinforced concre te slab & beam roofing. This system is su itable for

build ing up to four or less stories (as shown in fig. below). In such

build ings crushing strength of b ricks sha ll be 100 kg/cm2 minimum for

four stories. This system is adequate for vertica l loads it also serves to

resis ts horizontal loads like wind & ear thquake by box action. It is

necessary to provide RCC Bands in horizonta l & vert ical reinforcement

in brick wall as per IS: 4326-1967(Indian Standards Code of Practice

for Earthquake Resistant Construction of Buildings) to ensure the

box act ion for resistance against earthquake. In some Build ings,

115mm thick b rick walls are provided. Since these walls are incapable

of supporting vert ical loads, beams have to be provided along their

lengths to support ad jo ining s lab & the weight of 115mm thick brick

wall of upper storey. These beams are made to rest on 230 mm thick

brick walls or re info rced concrete columns if required . The design of



Load Bear ing Masonry Bu ild ings are done as per IS:1905-1980 (Indian

Standards Code o f Practice for Structura l Safety o f Buildings:

Masonry Walls(Second Revision).

Load bearing brick wall

Structural system

(b) RCC Framed Buildings:-

In these types of buildings, re inforced concrete frames are

provided in both principal d irect ions to res ist vertica l loads and the

vertica l loads are transmitted to Foundations through vertical framing

system of columns and beams in both principal direct ions. This t ype of

system is e ffect ive in resist ing both vert ical & horizonta l loads. The

brick walls are to be regarded as non load bearing filler walls only.

This system is suitab le for mult i-storied building as it is very e ffect ive

in resist ing horizonta l loads due to earthquake. In this system the f loor

slabs, generally 100-150 mm thick with spans ranging from 3.0m to

7.0m. In certa in earthquake prone areas, even single or double storey

build ings are made framed structures fo r safet y reasons. Also the

single storey build ings of large storey heights (5.0m or more ) , l ike

electric substat ion etc. are made framed structure as brick walls of

large heights are slender and load carrying capacit y of such walls

reduces due to slenderness.



RCC Framed

Structural system 2.0 Basic Codes for Design . The design should be carried so as to conform to the fo llowing

Indian code for reinforced concrete design, published by the Bureau of

Indian Standards, New Delhi:

Purpose o f Codes

National building codes have been formulated in d ifferent

countries to lay down gu idelines for the design and construction of

structu re. The codes have evolved from the co llect ive wisdom of expert

structu ral engineers, gained over the years. These codes are

periodically revised to bring them in line with current research, and

often, current trends.

The codes serve at least four distinct functions.

Firs t ly, the y ensure adequate structural sa fet y, b y specifying certain

essent ial minimum requirement for design .



Secondly, the y render the task of the designer relat ive ly simple; often,

the result of sophisticate analyses is made ava ilable in the form of a

simple formula or chart.

Third ly, the codes ensure a measure of consistenc y among different

designers.

Finally, the y have some legal va lid ity in that they protect the structu ral

designer from any liab ilit y due to structural failu res that are caused by

inadequate supervis ion and/o r fau lty material and construction.

(i)IS 456 : 2000 – Plain and reinforced concrete – code o f practice

(fourth revision)

(ii) Loading Standards

These loads to be considered for structural design are specified in the

fo llowing loading standards:

IS 875 (Part 1-5) : 1987 – Code of practice for design loads

(other than earthquake) for buildings and structures ( second

revision)

Part 1 : Dead loads

Part 2 : Imposed (Live) loads

Part 3 : Wind loads

Part 4 : Snow loads

Part 5 : Special loads and load combinations

structure (fourth revision) . IS 13920 : 1993 – Ductile detailing of reinforced concrete structure

subject to seismic forces.

Design Handbooks

The Bureau of Ind ian standards has a lso published the fo llowing

handbooks, which serve as useful supp lement to the 1978 vers ion of the

codes. Although the handbooks need to be updated to bring them in

line with the recent ly revised (2000 vers ion) of the Code, many o f the

provis ions cont inue to be valid (especia lly with regard to structural

design provisions).

3.0 General Design Consideration of IS: 456-2000.

The general design and construction of reinforced concrete buildings is

governed by the provisions of IS 456 –2000 & some of the important provisions are

given below –

AIM OF DESIGN

The aim of design is achievement of an acceptable probability that structures being

designed shall, with an appropriate degree of safety –

� Perform satisfactorily during their intended life.

� Sustain all loads and deformations of normal construction & use

� Have adequate durability

� Have adequate resistance to the effects of misuse and fire.

METHOD OF DESIGN –

� Structure and structural elements shall normally be designed by Limit State

Method.

� Where the Limit State Method cannot be conveniently adopted, Working

Stress Method may be used

MINIMUM GRADE OF CONCRETE

The minimum grade of concrete for plain & reinforced concrete shall be as per table

below –



26.4 Nominal Cover to Reinforcement

26.4.1 Nominal Cover

Nominal cover is the design depth of concrete cover to all steel

reinforcements, including links. It is the dimension used in design and

indicated in the drawings. It shall be not less than the diameter of the bar.

26.4.2 Nominal Covers to Meet Durability Requirement

Minimum values for the nominal cover of normal weight aggregate concrete

which should be provided to all reinforcement, including links depending on

the condition of exposure described in 8.2.3 shall be as given in Table 16.

Table 16 Nominal Cover to Meet Durability Requirements

(Clause 26.4.2)

Exposure Nominal Concrete Cover in mm not Less Than

Mild 20

Moderate 30

Severe 45

Very Severe 50

Extreme 75

NOTES

1. For main reinforcement up to 12 mm diameter bar for mild exposure

the nominal cover may be reduced by 5 mm.

2. Unless specified otherwise, actual concrete cover should not deviate

from the required nominal cover by + 10 mm

3. For exposure condition ‘severe’ and ‘very severe’, reduction of 5 mm

may be made, where concrete grade is M35 and above.

26.4.2.1 However for a longitudinal reinforcing bar in a column nominal cover shall

in any case not be less than 40 mm, or less than the diameter of such bar. In

the case of columns of minimum dimension of 200 mm or under, whose

reinforcing bars do not exceed 12 mm, a nominal cover of 25 mm may be

used.

26.4.2.2 For footing minimum cover shall be 50 mm.



26.4.3 Nominal Cover to Meet Specified Period of Fire Resistance

Minimum values of nominal cover of normal-weight aggregate concrete to be

provided to all reinforcement including links to meet specified period of fire

resistance shall be as given in Table 16A.

21.4 Minimum Dimensions of RC members for specified Period of Fire

Resistance



DESIGN LOAD

Design load is the load to be taken for use in appropriate method of design. It is –

� Characteristic load in case of working stress method &

� Characteristic load with appropriate partial safety factors for limit state

design.

LOAD COMBINATIONS

As per IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Clause no. 6.3.1.2, the following load cases have to be

considered for analysis:

� 1.5 (DL + IL)

� 1.2 (DL + IL ± EL)

� 1.5 (DL ± EL)

� 0.9 DL ± 1.5 EL

� Earthquake load must be considered for +X, -X, +Z and –Z directions.

� Moreover, accidental eccentricity during earthquake can be such that it causes

clockwise or anticlockwise moments. So both clockwise & anticlockwise

torsion is to be considered.

� Thus, ±EL above implies 8 cases, and in all, 25 cases must be considered.

It is possible to reduce the load combinations to 13 instead of 25 by not using negative

torsion considering the symmetry of the building.

STRUCTURAL FRAMES 22.4 The simplifying assumptions as given in 22.4.1 to 22.4.3 may be used in

the analysis of frames.

ARRANGEMENT OF LIVE LOAD

22.4.1 a) Consideration may be limited to combinations of:



1) Design dead load on all spans with full design live load on two

adjacent spans; and

2) Design dead load on all spans with dull design live load on alternate

spans.

22.4.1 b) When design live load does not exceed three-fourths of the design dead

load, the load arrangement may be design dead load and design live load

on all the spans.

Note: For beams continuous over support 22.4.1 (a) may be assumed. 22.4.2 Substitute Frame: For determining the moments and shears at any floor

or roof level due to gravity loads, the beams at that level together with

columns above and below with their far ends fixed may be considered to

constitute the frame.

22.4.3 For lateral loads, simplified methods may be used to obtain the moments

and shears for structures that are symmetrical. For unsymmetrical or very

tall structures, more rigorous methods should be used.

CRITICAL SECTIONS FOR MOMENT AND SHEAR

22.6.1 For monolithic construction, the moments computed at the face of the

supports shall be used in the design of the members at those sections. For

non-monolithic construction the design of the member shall be done

keeping in view 22.2.

22.6.2 Critical Section for Shear The shears computed at the face of the Support shall be used in the design

of the member at that section except as in 22.6.2.1

22.6.2.1 When the reaction in the direction of the applied shear introduces

compression into the end region of the member, sections located at a

distance less than d from the face of the support may be designed for the

same shear as that computed at distance d.

EFFECTIVE DEPTH 23.0 Effective depth of a beam is the distance between the centroid of the area

of tension reinforcement and the maximum compression fibre, excluding

the thickness of finishing material not placed monolithically with the

member and the thickness of any concrete provided to allow for wear.

This will not apply to deep beams.

CONTROL OF DEFLECTION



23.2 The deflection of a structure or part thereof shall not adversely affect the

appearance or efficiency of the structure or finishes or partitions. The

deflection shall generally be limited to the following:

a) The final deflection due to all loads including the effects of temperature,

creep and shrinkage and measured from the as-cast level of the supports of

floors, roofs and all other horizontal members, should not normally exceed

span/250.

b) The deflection including the effects of temperature, creep and shrinkage

occurring after erection of partitions and the application of finishes should

not normally exceed span/350 or 20mm whichever is less.

23.2.1 For beams, the vertical deflection limits may generally be assumed to be

satisfied provided that the span to depth ratio are not greater than the value

obtained as below:

a) Basic values of span to effective depth ratios for spans up to 10m:

Cantilever 7

Simply supported 20

Continuous 26

b) For spans above 10m, the values in (a) may be multiplied by 10/span in

metres, except for cantilever in which case deflection calculations should

be made.

c) Depending on the area and the type of steel for tension reinforcement, the

value in (a) or (b) shall be modified as per Fig. 4

d) Depending on the area of compression reinforcement, the value of span to

depth ratio be further modified as per Fig. 5

e) For flanged beams, the value of (a) or (b) be modified as per Fig. 6 and the

reinforcement percentage for use in fig. 4 and 5 should be based on area of

section equal to bf d.

Note: When deflections are required to be calculated, the method given

Annexure ‘C’ of IS 456-2000 may be used.



CONTROL OF DEFLECTION – SOLID SLABS

24.1 General The provisions of 32.2 for beams apply to slabs also. NOTES

1. For slabs spanning in two directions, the shorter of the two spans should be

used for calculating the span to effective depth rations.

2. For two-way slabs of shorter spans (up to 3.5 m) with mild steel

reinforcement, the span to overall depth rations given below may generally

be assumed to satisfy vertical deflection limits for loading class up to 3

kN/m2.

Simply supported slab 35

Continuous slabs 40



For high strength deformed bars of grade Fe 415,the values given above

should be multiplied by 0.8.

Simply supported slab 28

Continuous slabs 32

23.3 Slabs Continuous Over Supports

Slabs spanning in one direction and continuous over supports shall be

designed according to the provisions applicable to continuous beams.

23.4 Slabs Monolithic with Supports

Bending moments in slabs (except flat slabs) constructed monolithically with

the supports shall be calculated by taking such slabs either as continuous over

supports and capable of free, or as members of a continuous frame work with

the supports, taking into account the stiffness of such support. If such supports

are formed due to beams which justify fixity at the support of slabs, then the

effects on the supporting beam, such as, the bending of the web in the

transverse direction of the beam, wherever applicable, shall also be considered

in the design of the beams.

23.4.1 For the purpose of calculation of moment in slabs in a monolithic structure, it

will generally be sufficiently accurate to assume direct members connected to

the ends of such slab are fixed in position and direction at the end remote from

their connection with the slab.

3.0 Steps for Design of a Multi-Storeyed Building:-

Manual Method of Analysis & Design:-

Step1: Study of architectural Drawings:- Before proceeding for structural

design of any building it is ensure that approved working drawings are available

in the office. All working drawings i.e. each floor plan, elevations, sections, are

studied thoroughly & discrepancy if any brought to the notice of concern Architect

for rectification/correction. The problems coming in finalization of structural

configuration may also be intimated to concern Architect for

rectification/correction if any.

Step2: Finalization of structural Configuration. After receiving corrected

working drawing from the architectural wing, the structural system is finalized. The

structural arrangements of a building is so chosen as to make it efficient in resisting

vertical as well as horizontal loads due to earthquake. The span of slabs co chosen

that thickness of slab 100-150mm and slab panels, floor beams, and columns, are

all marked and numbered on the architectural plans. Now the building is ready for

structural design to start.

ISOMETRIC VIEW OF FRAMED STRUCTURE

Step3: Load Calculation and analysis. For each floor or roof, the loading

intensity of slab is calculated taking into account the dead load of the slab, finish

plaster, etc. including partitions and the live load expected on the floor, depending on

the usage of the floor or roof. The linear loading of beams, columns, walls, parapets,

etc. also calculated.

Step3 (a): Preliminary Sizes of structural members. Before proceeding for

load calculation preliminary sizes of slabs, beams,& columns decided. In manual load



calculation preliminary sizes of structural members should be judicially fixed as once

load calculation & analysis is done it is not easy to revise the same. But in computer

aided analysis & design it can be revised easily.

• Slab:- The thickness of the slab decided on the basis of span/d ratio

assuming appropriate modification factor.

• Beam : The width the beam generally taken as the width of wall i.e

230 or 300 mm. The width of beam is help full in placement of

reinforcement in one layer & more width is help full in resisting shear

due to torsion. The depth of beam is generally taken as 1/12 th (for

Heavy Loads) to 1/15 th (for Lighter Loads) of span.

• Column:- Size of column depends upon the moments from the both the

direction and the axial load. Preliminary Column size may be finalized

by approximately calculation of axial load & moments.

Procedure for vertical load calculation on Columns: Step(i): First, the load from slab (including Live load & Dead Load) is transferred on

to the adjoining beams using formulas given below|:- For computation of shear force on beams & reactions on columns, an

equivalent uniformly distributed load per linear meter of beam may be taken as : Equivalent u.d.l. on short beam of slab panel = w B/4.0 Equivalent u.d.l. on long beam of slab panel = w B/4 x [2-(B/L)] Where w is the total load on the slab panel in Kn/Sqm & L & B are long span & short spans of slab panel respectively. Step(ii): Over this load, the weight of wall (if any), self weight of beam etc. are added

to get the load on beam (in running metre). Step(iii):The load (in running metre) on each beam is calculated as in Step 1 & Step 2.

Step(iv):Then the loads from the beams are transferred to the columns. Step(v):Step (i) to Step (v) is repeated for each floor. Step(vi):These loads at various floors on each column are then added to get the total

loads on each column, footing and the whole building.

Step4: HORIZONTAL (SEISMIC) LOAD CALCULTAION:

The Horizontal Load Calculation or the Load Calculations for Seismic case is carried

out as per the Indian Standard Code IS:1893-2002.

The loads calculated in Para-II above at various floor levels are modified as per the

requirement of Para 7.3.1 of IS:1893-2002.



The Seismic Shear at various floor levels is calculated for the whole Building using

the values from IS 1893-2002.

Calculation of horizontal loads on buildings (As per is-1893-2002)

Sample example for horizontal load calcula tion

(I) BUILDING IS ON SEISMIC ZONE-IV (II) FOUNDATION TYPE ISOLATED FOOTINGS

Where Z = Zone factor as per table 2 of IS Code (1893-2002) = 0.24 (in this case) I = Importance factor as per table 6 of IS-1893-2002)

= 1.5 (Assuming that the bldg. is T.E. Bldg.)

R = Response reduction factor as per table 7 of IS code

= 3.0 (for ordinary R.C. Moment res isting frame (OMRF)

(Sa /g) = Average response acce lerat ion coefficient for soil t ype

& appropriate natura l periods and lamping of the

structu re.

For calculat ing of (Sa/g) va lue as above we have to calcu late value of

T i.e. Fundamental Nat ional Period (Seconds) (Clause 7.6 of IS Code)

T = 0 .075 h 0 . 75 (For RC Frame building)

= 0.0 85 h 0 . 75 (For Steel frame building)

h = Height of bu ilding in Meter

In case o f building with brick in f ills walls.

T = 0.09 h /d 1 /2

Where h = height of build ing in Meter

and d = Base dimension of the building at the plinth level in

Meter along the considered directio n of the lateral

force.



Value of (Sa/g) is to be read from fig 2 on page 16 of IS Code

depending upon Soil cond it ion & Fundamental Natu ra l period T.

Or the value of (Sa/g) ma y be calculated on the basis of

Following.

Formulas:- ( i) For rocky, or hard soil s ites

(Sa/g) = 1+15 T if 0 .00≤T≤ 0 .10

= 2.50 if 0 .10≤T≤ 0 .40

(ii) For medium soil s ites (Sa/g) = 1+15 T if 0.00≤T≤ 0 .10

= 2.5 0 if 0 .10≤T≤0 .55

= 1.36/T if 0 .55≤T≤ 4 .00

(iii) For so ft soil s ites (Sa/g) = 1+15 T if 0.00≤T≤

Step5. VERTICAL LOAD ANALYSIS:

a ) GENERAL:

The skeleton frame work of a multi storied R.C.C. framed

structure is made up of a system of columns, beams and slabs. It is

p resumed that the re inforcements are always so arranged that al l

jo ints of the frame are monolithic.

In view of the uncerta in property o f material creep, shr inkage

and a number of approximate s implifying assumptions made in the



detailed analysis of mult i sto ried framed structures (such as

cond itions o f end restra ints etc.) it is considered suffic ient to ob tain

reasonable accurac y of ana lysis for the design of structure. If the

normal moment d istr ibution is applied to all joints, the work

invo lved is enormous. However with certain assumptions, it is

possible to ana lyze the frames and get results which will be adequate

for design purposes.

To simplify ana lysis the three dimensional mult isto ried R.C.C.

framed structure are considered as combinat ions of planer framed in

two direct ions. It is assumed that each of these p laner frames act

independent ly of the frames.

Procedure for Frame analysis for calculation of moments in

Columns & beams:

Step(i) : Fir st, the load from slab (including Live load & Dead Load)

is transferred on to the ad joining beams using formulas

given below|:-

For computation of Bend ing Moments in beams , an equiva lent

uniformly distr ibuted load per linear meter of beam may be taken as

:

Equivalent u.d.l. on short beam of slab panel = w B/3.0

Equivalent u .d.l. on long beam of s lab panel = w B/6 x [ 3-

(B/L)2 ]

where w is the tota l load on the s lab panel in Kn/Sqm & L & B are

long span & short spans of slab panel respect ive ly.

Step(ii) : Over this load , the weight of wall ( if any), self weight of

beam etc. are added to get the load on beam (in running Meter).

Step(iii) :The load (in running Meter) on each beam is calcu lated as

in Step 1 & Step 2.

Step(iv):Step (i) to Step (iii) is repeated for each floor Step(v):Then these loads are used as u.d.l on a particu lar frame for

analysis by moment distr ibution method as descr ibed in the next

sect ion.



b) METHOD OF ANALYSIS:

Analysis o f large framed structu res is too Cumbersome with

the classical method of structure analysis such a Clapeyron’s

theorem of three moments, Cast ingiliano’s therefore of least work,

Po ison’s method of vir tual work etc. Therefore, it become necessar y

to evolve s impler methods.

Some of these are :-

a.) Hardy cross method o f moment distr ibution.

b.) Kani’s method of iteration.

c) HARDY CROSS METHOD OF MOMENT DISTRIBUTION:

In this method , the ‘balancing’ and ‘carry-over’ const itute one

c ycle and it has been found the ‘carry-over’ values converge fast

enough to become qu ite insignificant after four cyc le of operation. it

is, therefo re, often adequate to stop the computation after four

c ycles.

The frame is analyzed by this method either:

i. Floor-wise assuming the co lumns to be fixed for ends.

or

i i. Taking the frame as a whole. The whole frame analysis can

be carried out for several alternat ive loading arrangements

for ob taining maximum posit ive and negative bending

moment. Generally frames are ana lyzed floor-wise for the

worst condit ions of loading.

Step6. HORIZONTAL LOAD ANALYSIS:-

Frame analysis for horizonta l loads calcu lated in step 4 is carr ied out by using :-

(a)Approximate Method:-

i) Cant ilever method.

ii) Portal method.

Approximate methods are used for preliminar y designs only. For f ina l design we may use exact method i.e ( i) Slope deflect ion or matrix methods ( ii) Factor method . We will not discuss these methods in detail as now modern

computer package as STAAD PRO is ava ilab le for analysis.



Step7: DESIGN OF COULMN, FOUNDATIONS, BEAMS &

SLABS:

After load calculatio n & ana lysis for vertical & horizo ntal

loads, design of Columns ,Foundations, Beams, Slabs and are to be

carried out as per the various clauses of IS codes, IS 456-2000,

IS:1893-2002, IS:13920-1993 etc.

The Design of Co lumn, Foundation, Beams and Slabs are discussed

in deta ils in following sect ion.

A. DESIGN OF COLUMNS: -

With the knowledge of ( i) Vert ica l load (ii) Moments due to

horizonta l loads on either axis;( iii) Moments due to vert ical loads on

either axis, act ing o n each column, at all f loor levels of the bu ild ing,

columns are designed by charts o f SP-16(Design Aids) with a load

factor of 1.5 for vert ical load effect and with a load factor of 1.2 for

the combined effects of the vert ical and the horizontal loads. The

step confirms the s ize o f columns assumed in the architectural

d rawings. The design of each co lumn is carried out from the top of

foundation to the roof, var ying the amount o f stee l re inforcement for

suitable groups for ease in design. Further, slenderness e ffects in

each sto rey are considered for each co lumn group .

Important Considerations in design o f Columns:-

( i)Effective height o f column:- The effective height of a co lumn is

defined as the height between the points of contra f lexure of the

buckled column. For effect ive column height refer table 28

(Annexure E) of IS: 456-2000.

For framed structure effect ive height of column depends

upon relat ive st iffness of the column & various beams framing into

the co lumn at it s two ends. (Refer Annexure E o f IS: 456-2000 .)

( ii)Unsupported Length: - The unsupported length l, of a

compression member shall be taken as the c lear d istance between

end restraints excep t that :-

In beam & slab construction, it shall be the c lear distance

between the floor & under side of the shallower beam framing into

the co lumns in each direction at the next higher f loor level.

( iii) Slenderness limits for columns: - The unsupported length

between end restraints shall not exceed 60 times the least lateral

d imension of a column.



( iv) Minimum Eccentricity: - All co lumns sha ll be designed for

minimum eccentr icit y equal to unsupported length of co lumn/500

p lus least lateral d imension/30, subject to a minimum of 20 mm.

Or emi n ≥ l/500+ D/30 ≥ 20 mm Where l= unsupported length of column in mm.

D=Lateral d imension of column in the direction under

considerat ion in mm.

(v)Design Approach: - The design of column is complex since it is

subjected to axial loads & moments which may very independent ly.

Column design requ ired:-

I. Determinat ion o f the cross sect iona l dimension.

II. The area of longitudinal steel & it s distr ibution. III. Transverse stee l.

The maximum axial load & moments act ing along the length of

the column are considered for the design of the column sect ion

either by the working stress method or limit state method .

The transverse reinfo rcement is provided to impart effect ive

lateral support against buckling to every longitud inal bar. It is e ither

in the form of circular r ings of polygonal links ( lateral ties) .

C. DESIGN OF FOUNDATIONS: -

With the knowledge of the co lumn loads and moments at base and

the soil data, foundations for columns are designed

The following is a list of different t ypes o f foundations in

o rder to p reference with a view to economy: ( i) Ind ividual footings

( ii) Combinat ion of ind ividual and combined footings (iii) Strip

foo tings with reta ining wall act ing as s tr ip beam wherever

applicab le; ( iv) Raft foundations of the t ypes (a) Slab (b) beam-slab.

The brick wall footings are a lso designed at this stage. Often,

p linth beams are provided to support brick walls and a lso to act as

earthquake t ies in each p rincipa l direct ion. Plinth beams, reta ining

wall if any, are also designed at this stage, being considered as part

o f foundations.

Important Considerations in design o f Foundations:-

a) Introduction: - Foundations are s tructural elements that transfer loads from the building or individ ual column to the earth. If these loads are to be properly transmitted , foundations must be designed to prevent excessive sett lement or rotation, to minimize



different ia l settlement and to provide adequate safet y against slid ing and over turning.

b) Depth of foundation:- Depth of foundation below ground level may be obtained by using

Rankine's formula

2 p 1 – Sin Ø h = - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - γ 1 + Sin Ø Where h = Minimum dep th of foundation

p = Gross bearing capacit y

γ = Densit y o f soil

Ø = Angle of Repose of soil

c) Recommendations of IS 456 -2000, limit sta te design, bending,

shear, cracking & development

i) To determine the area required for proper transfer of total load on the soil,

the total load (the combination of dead, live and any other load without

multiplying it with any load factor) need be considered.

To tal Load includ ing Self Weight Plan Area of footing = ------------------------------------- Allowable bearing capacit y of soil i i) IS 1904 – 1978, Code of Practice for Structural Safety of

Buildings: shallow foundation, sha ll govern the genera l details.

i i i) Thickness o f the edge o f footing :-(Reference clause 34.1.2) The thickness at the edge shall not be less than 15 cm for footing on soils. iv) Dimension o f pedestal:-

In the case of plain Cement Concrete pedestals, the angle between the plane passing through the bottom edge of the pedestal and the corresponding junction edge of the column with pedestal and the horizontal plane shall be governed by the expression.

100 qo Tan α (should not be less than) 0.9 x ----------- + 1 F ck

Where q o = Calculated maximum bearing p ressure at the base of the

The bending Moment will be considered at the face of column, Pedestal or wall

and shall be determined by passing through the section a vertical place which

extends completely across the footing, and over the entire area of the footing

or, one side of the said plane.

(vi)Shear

(Reference Clause 33.2.4.1)

The shear strength of footing is governed by the following two factors:-

a) The footing acting essentially as a wide beam, with a potential diagonal

crack intending in a plane across the entire width, the critical section for

this condition shall be assumed as a vertical section located from the

face of the column, pedestal or wall at a distance equal to the effective

depth of the footing in case of footings on soils.

FOR ONE WAY BENDING ACTION

For one way shear action, the nominal shear stress is calculated as follows:-

Vu

τv = -------

Where

τv = Shear stress

Vu = Factored vertical shear force

b = Breadth of critical section

d = Effective depth

τv < τc ( τc = Design Shear Strength of Concrete Based on % of longitudinal tensile reinforcement refer Table 61 of SP-16)



CRITICAL SECTION FOR ONE -WAY SHEAR

(FOR TWO WAY BENDING ACTION)

For two may bending action, the following should be checked in punching shear. Punching shear shall be around the perimeter 0.5 time the effective depth away from the face of column or pedestal. For two way shear action, the nominal shear stress is calculated in accordance with lause 31.6.2 of the code as follows:-

Short dimension of column or pedestal

Bc = ----------------------------------------------------

Long dimension of column or pedestal

τc = 0.25 fek N/mm2

Note:-It is general practice to make the base deep enough so that shear reinforcement is not required.

(vii)Development Length

(Reference Clause 34.2.4.3)

The critical section for checking the development length in a footing shall be assumed at the same planes as those described for bending moment in clause 34.2.3 of code (as discussed 4.5 of the handout) and also at all other vertical planes where abrupt changes of section occur.

(viii) Reinforcement:- The Min % of steel in footing slab should be 0.12% & max spacing should not be more than 3 times effective depth or 450 mm whichever is less. (Reference Clause 34.3) Only tensile reinforcement is normally provided. The total

reinforcement shall be laid down uniformly in case of square footings. For rectangular footings, there shall be a central band, equal to the width of the footings. The reinforcement in the central band shall be provided in accordance with the following equation.

Reinforcement in central Band width 2

-------------------------------------------------- = ------

Total reinforcement in short direction B + 1

Where Long side of footing

B = --------------------------- Short side of footing



(ix)Transfer of Load at the Base of Column

(Reference Clause 34.4)

The compressive stress in concrete at the base of column or pedestal shall

be transferred by bearing to the top of supporting pedestal or footing.

The bearing pressure on the loaded area shall not exceed the permissible

bearing stress in direct

A1

Compression multiplied by a value equal to ------

A2

but not greater than 2

Where

A1 = Supporting area for bearing of footing, which is sloped or

stepped footing may be taken as the area of the lower base

of the largest frustum of a pyramid or cone contained wholly

with in the footing and having for its upper base, the area

actually loaded and having side slope of one vertical to two

horizontal.

A2 = Loaded area at the column base.

For limit state method of design, the permissible bearing stress shall be = 45 fek

4.91 If the permissible bearing stress is exceeded either in column concrete or in

footing concrete, reinforcement must be provided for developing the excess

force. The reinforcement may be provided either by extending the longitudinal

bars into the footing or by providing dowels in accordance with the code as

give in the following:-

1) Minimum area of extended longitudinal bars or dowels must be 0.5% of

cross sectional area of the supported column or pedestal.

2) A minimum of four bars must be provided.

3) If dowels are used their diameter should not exceed the diameter of the

column bars by more than 3 mm.

4) Enough development length should be provided to transfer the

compression or tension to the supporting member.

5) Column bars of diameter larger than 36 mm, in compression only can

be dowelled at the footing with bars of smaller diameters. Te dowel

must extend into the column a distance equal to the development length

of the column bar. At the same time, the dowel must extend vertically

into the footing a distance equal to the development length of the

dowel.



C. DESIGN OF FLOOR SLABS:-. Design of f loor slabs and beams is taken up with the First Floor & upwards .The s labs are designed as one-way or two-way panels, taking the edge condit ions of the supporting edges in to account, with the loading already decided as per funct ional use of s lab panel. The design of f loor slab is carr ied out as per clause 24 .4 & 37.1.2 & Annexure D of IS: 456-2000. The Bending moment coefficients are to be taken from table- 26 of the code depend ing upon the support cond itio n & bending moment calcu lated & reinforcement stee l ma y be calculated from the charts of SP-16. The s lab design for particular f loor may be done in tabular form as shown below.

Method of calculation of steel from Tables of SP-16 for slab design

Determine the main reinforcement required for a slab with the following data:

Factored moment Mu 9.60 kN.mper Metre width

Depth of slab 10 cm

Concrete mix M 20

Characteristic strength a) 415 N/mm2

METHOD OF REFERRING TO TABLES FOR SLABS Referring to table 35 (for fck=20 & fy = 415 N/mm

2), directly we get the following

reinforcement for a moment of resistance of 9.60 kN.m per Metre width:

8 mm dia at 13 cm spacing or 10 mm dia at 210 cm spacing Reinforcement given in the table is based on a cover of 15 mm or bar diameter which-

ever is greater.

Check for Deflection:-Slab is also checked for control of Deflection as per clause

23.2.1, 24.1 & Fig 4. of the IS:456-2000.

D. Design of floor Beams:-. The beams are designed as continuous beams,

monolithic with reinforced concrete columns with their far ends assumed fixed. The

variation in the live load position is taken into account by following the two-cycle

moment distribution. the moments are applied a face correction to reduce them to the

face of the members. The moments due to horizontal loads are added to the above

moments. Each section of the beam is designed for load factor of 1.5 for vertical load

effect and with a load factor of 1.2 for the combined effects of the vertical and the

horizontal loads.

The effect of the shear due to vertical and horizontal loads is also similarly

taken care of. It may be noted that the shear component due to wind or earthquake

may be significant and it may affect the size and the range of shear stirrups. Bent- up

bars are not effective for earthquake shear due to its alternating nature. The beam

design can be easily done by a computer program which will give reinforcement at

various critical sections along the length of the beam and also shear stirrups required

it saves considerable time and labour of a designer.

In manual method span of a beam is generally designed at three sections i.e

at two supports & at Mid span. The each section is designed for factored Moment,

Shear & equivalent shear for Torsion if any at a section.

Two examples of beam design are given below illustrating calculation of

steel reinforcement with help of SP-16.

Example1.Singly Reinforced Beam

Determine the main tension reinforcement required for a

rectangular beam sect ion with the following data:

Size o f beam 30 X 60 cm

Concrete mix M 20

Character ist ic strength 415 N/mm2 o f reinfo rcement

Facto red moment 170 kN.m

Assuming 20 mm dia bars with 25 mm clear cover, Effect ive depth= 600 – 25 – 20 /2 = 565 mm From Tab le D for fy = 415 N/ mm

2 and f c k = 20 N/mm

2

Mu, l im/bd2 = 2.76 N/ mm2

= 2.76/1000 X (1000)2

= 2.76 X 103 kN/m2

Mu, l im = 2.76 X 103 bd 2

= 2.76 X 103 X 0.300 X0.565X0.565

= 264.32 kN.m

Actual moment of 170 kN.m is less than Mu, l im. The sect ion is therefo re

to be designed as a s ingly reinfo rced (under-reinforced) rectangu lar

sect ion.

Referring to table 2 of SP-16 we have to ca lculate Mu/bd2 Mu/bd2 = 170 x106 /(300x 565 x565) = 1.78 From Tab le 2. p t =0.556 A st=0.556 x 300x 565/100 =942.42mm

2=9.42 cm2

Example2 .Doubly Reinforced Beam (i)Determine the main reinforcements required for a rectangular

with the following data :

Size o f beam 30×60cm

Concrete mix M 20

Character ist ic strength of 415/Nmm2

Reinforcement

Facto red moment 320Kn.m

Assuming 20 mm dia bars with 25 mm clear cover,



D=600-25 – 20/ 2 =565 mm From tab le D, fo r fy= 415 N/mm

2 and fc k = 20N/mm2

Mu2 lim/bd

2= 2.76 N/mm2 = 2.76 × 103 KN/m2 Mu2 lim= 2.76 × 10

3×0.300×0.565×0.565 = 264.32 KN-M Actual moment of 320 Kn.M is greater than Mu2 lim hence the sect ion

is to be designed as a doubly reinforced section .

Reinforcement from Table 50 Mu/bd2= 320 × 106 / (300×5652 ) = 3.34 N/mm2

d’/d = (25+10)/565 = 0.062

Next higher value of d1 /d = 0.1 , will be used for referr ing to Table 50 For Mu/bd2 = 3.34 and d ’ /d = 0.10, p t

= 1.152, p c = 0.207 Ast = 1.152 x 300x 565 /100 =1952.64 mm

2 =19.52 cm2 And Asc = 0.207 x 300x 565/100 =350.86 mm

2 =3.51 cm2 (ii) Determine the Shear reinforcement (vertical stirrups ) required for the same beam section if factored shear force is Vu =250 KN. Shear stress τ v = Vu/bd = 250 × 10

3 /(300× 565) =1.47 N/mm2

τv < τma x( 2.8 N /mm2) hence sect ion is adequate regarding shear

stress. From table 61 for p t=1.15 τc=0.65 N/mm

2

Shear capac it y of co ncrete sect ion = τc × b× d = 0.65 × 300 ×565/1000=110 .18 kN Shear to be carried b y st irrups Vu s=Vu - τc × b× d = 250 - 110.18 =139.82 kN Vus/d = 139.82/56.5 = 2.47 kN/cm Referr ing to tab le 62 for steel fy = 415 N/mm

2 Provide 8 mm diameter two legged vert ical st irrups at 140 mm spacing.
