SC 342 Project 2021
In Figure 1 shown is a floor plan of an office building 60.0m high. The building is a
framed-shear wall structure in which the walls play the role of bracing the structure and
loads distribution . The storey height from the floor finishing level to the next floor level
is 4.00 m. Make any correction or additions if necessary to the architectural drawing in
order to suit for engineering design. Use BS 8110, Part 1,2 and 3, BS 6399, Reynold
Manual
Tasks:
(i) Usage of Manual, Loading codes, or Handbook for structural designer (10%)
(ii) Prepare the structural layout drawing showing all structural elements. (5%)
(iii) Estimate suitable element dimensions. (5%)
(iv) Carryout the load analysis assuming that the structure is to be subjected to
vertical and lateral loads (10%)
(v) Describe the methodology on how you will design the said building
considering the locally available materials (5%)
(vi) Design the first-floor slab (typical floor slab) assuming that the size of beams
b/h = 300/500 mm. (5%)
(vii) Design the Shear wall marked A, assuming that the vertical floor loads are
uniformly distributed along the wall axis. For lateral loads refer CP 3 or BS
6399 Part 2. (10%)
(viii) Identify maximum loaded column, at the ground floor, What are proposed
detailing technique to prevent cracks? What are crack widths when the
diameter used is 32mm? (5%)
(ix) Identify and list all beams that are experiencing Torsion forces in the first floor
and in the 10th Floor (5%)
(x) Design foundation at the stair well and shear walls (10%)
(xi) Propose the type of slab to be used, thickness and design the slab with
maximum span in both ways structural drawings showing reinforcement details
as well as bar bending schedules for the slab. (10%)
(xii) Prepare a structural drawing for just one storey showing the reinforcement
sectional plan and elevation details for the Shear Wall marked A. (10%)
(xiii) Prepare Structural Design Report for submission to the Municipal comprising
all components listed above (10%)
Total points equal 100% (carrying a weight of 20% of the whole course assessment).
