1) Structural Design Introduction:
In this brief report we are presenting the data and assumptions related to the
project, which has lead to the conceptual design at this preliminary stage.
The document attempts to record all inputs assumed in design and will form the
basis for all future detailed structural work.
The report most importantly clarifies the load criteria assumed in the design and
it is therefore expected that all related consultants, including the architects, would
go through the document and refer to it at every stage of detailed design.
Recommendations or revisions on assumed parameters are requested at this
stage.
Besides this the report will also form the outline of the design criteria and
methods of both analysis and design to be adopted in this project with the aim of
achieving a design that satisfies all sorts of seismic, and serviceability
requirements.
2) Project Features:
3) Foundation system:
Geotechnical Investigation for the site has been carried out by “M/s.
Global Geotechnics” and the foundation system is decided based on this
report.
1) The area explored has got top soil of 0.5 to 1.5M is fill.The
underlying layer is Brownish clayey sand with rock fragments upto
7M.After 7m to 14M layer of Brownish grey weathered basalt is found.
After that a layer of Greyish amygdaloidal basalt is found. Pile is
terminated at 16.5M when it hits Grey compact basalt.Water table was
met with in the boreholes at the time of exploration at 2.5M.
2) Open foundation is suggested by soil investigation consultant at 6-
7M with SBC of 150t/m2
3) A regular pile foundation is therefore recommended with length of
pile of 9M, seating the pile in the Brownish grey weathered basalt
layer,utilizing the full structural capacity of 50Tons for M - 25 concrete.
4) Settlement of the pile foundation would be within 12mm

Dead Loads
The dead loads are calculated on the basis of unit weights of materials
given in IS 875 (Part 1). The data provided by MEP consultant and other
service consultants will be used for the specific materials/equipments.
Unless otherwise specified the unit weight of materials will be used as
follows.
Structural Geometry:
The structure consists of 1 Sloping roof varying in height from 3.3M to
7.9M.

7 Conclusions.
7.1 Other loads: Any other loads like those of services; storage etc will be
obtained from time to time from the relevant consultants and incorporated.
7.2 Column locations: The location of the columns has been retained as per
conceptual drawings received. Although additional columns are added wherever
required.
This DBR attempts to briefly cover all design related methods and assumptions
at this stage of the project. As the project progresses certain revisions to the
DBR might be warranted and such timely revisions of this report will be promptly
provided by us.
