6. SOIL & EARTHWORKS

Soil investigation carried out in the proposed site recommends adopting SBC and other design
criteria’s as follows:
SBC of Soil (for all the buildings) : 2.50 kg/cm²
SBC of Soil for Boiler house area : 3.00 kg/cm²
Water Table : NA, as was not encountered as per soil report
Depth of Foundation : 1.5 m below finished ground level
Type of Foundation : Isolated / combined foundation
Settlement criteria : Within Permissible Limits, as per soil report

7. BUILDING STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS

Primarily, the building structural components have been subdivided as per the following.
 PEB Roofing System
 Cladding / Solid block masonry wall
 Concrete Flooring
 RCC framed structure

By considering the functionality of the buildings, various combinations of roofing systems have
been evaluated as per the following.

7.1 PLANT BUILDING

In the Plant Building, the grid of 7.5m x 13.75m has been considered as per the internal machinery
layout of the ground floor. The Plant Building shall have mezzanine slab at +10.60 m level which
will act as a machine floor. The machinery loading on this floor has been considered as 750 Kg/m²
based on the requirement for the floors of plant building as per the codal provisions.
It is envisaged that there will be vibrations from the machinery which needs to be isolated from
the rest of the structure. It is planned to isolate the supporting of the machinery from the main
building which requires a separate structural support for mounting of the machines. By doing this,
vibrations will not be transferred to the main building. However the machines in particular, the
vibratory conveyors will give rise to vibration levels that will cause some level of discomfort to
human beings and may adversely affect the functioning of sensitive electronic gadgets attached to
these machinery. To address these problems, these machines have to be designed and fabricated
such that proper load balancing is done. Further these machines have to be provided with suitable
spring supports which will act as energy dissipating devices.
The first floor of the plant building will have sloping roof with the pitch of 1 in 10 with bare
galvalume sheet roofing and it is designed for a load intensity of 75 kg/m² and service load of
35kg/m² with stainless steel gutters on either side.

Following structural systems have been considered for evaluation:

Ground Floor Structural System:
 RCC Beam Slab Structure:

7.2 WAREHOUSES
The grid for the warehouses has been adopted based on the type of roof supporting system that
will be adopted for evaluation purpose. The eaves height of the warehouse has been considered
as 6.00m based on the Fire and Line Safety norms so that no extra treatment for the structure will
be required to meet these standards. The ware house roofing has been envisaged as sloping roof
with a design load intensity of 75 kg/m² together with a service load of 25kg/m² with the pitch of
the roofing as 1 in 10.
RCC Columns are being planned up to the eaves height for all the systems, RCC Gutters/MS
Gutters have been considered depending upon the type of roofing system.

Following structural systems have been considered for evaluation:

 PEB rafters with sheet roofing

 RCC Beam at Gable end
 RCC framed structure supporting PEB rafters with PEB stool.

By evaluating the above systems, the roofing system for the warehouses has been adopted as Pre
Engineered Building Roofing system with bare Galvalume sheet roofing. Salient features of the
same are presented below.
 Column Grid: 7.5m x 27.5m
 PEB - MS Gutters at the ends. RCC gutters intermediate gutters in the case of two span building
 PEB rafter with PEB stool of 0.75m height and Purlins
 Bare galvalume sheet roofing with self tapping screws fixing
 Flashings at the eaves and at the gables with foam fillers to fill the corrugation gaps
 All the fabrication is factory made.
 Speed in execution
 Quality maintenance is easy as entire fabrication will be done in the factories in a controlled
environment
 Flexibility in supporting the services from the roof
 Relatively economical
