Structural Analysis and Design Report
This report comprises the summary of the structural design of Residential Building. The report
consists of design procedures adopted, assumptions made, and the input assign in the design. During design
it is assumed that the client will completely followed the architectural as well as the structural design. It is
also assumed that the construction will be supervised by a professional engineer.
The designer will not be responsible if any alteration or change to the structural system is made
by the client or contractor without the prior permission from the designer, or the alteration to the non-
structural system is made such that the weight of each individual floor or the weight of the whole building
is altered by more than 10% of the design weight of the floor and the total weight.
The design calculations and derivations are limited to only to let the concerned people know the
methodology adopted. However, the calculation may be provided to the client or the concerned authorities
when needed, upon request.

7. Load Combination (For Parallel System)
The load combinations are based on NBC:105: 2020. The following load combinations are specified
For seismic loading, mass equivalent to the load that is composed of 100% of Dead Load and
30% of Live Load is taken into consideration.
8. Structural Analysis:
8.1 Method:
Type: All the Structural elements of reinforced concrete are designed to Limit State Theory.
Program Used: ETABS version 2016.2.1 is used for the analysis and design of three-dimensional structures,
in which the spatial distribution of the mass and stiffness of the structure is adequate for the calculation of
the significant features of structures.
8.2 Conditions:
Since, all the columns are rigidly connected to the foundation; we can assume that there would
be no any deflection or rotation of these columns at the base. Hence, the supporting conditions for column
are fixed.
Similarly, at the level where the RC slab panels are rigidly connected to the beams, we assume
that there would be equal displacement i.e. the concrete floor acts as a rigid floor diaphragm.
9. Input Data
Generally, the design of structure in ETABS starts with the modeling of structure and then
defining all the parameters required for the analysis and design (such as materials, conditions as mentioned
above, loading information, codes and standards, etc.)
The input data for the design of structure generally includes the dead load (except the self-weight
of structure presented in the model), the imposed load, the lateral loads, the wind load and other special
loads (for example, loads due to thermal effects)

9.3 Lateral Loads:
ETABS automatically incorporates all the required calculations for lateral loads based on the
input data we provide. The required parameters for lateral load calculation have already been mentioned
above in 6.3.
Based on seismic coefficient method, ETABS utilizes the following procedure to generate the lateral
seismic loads.
User provides seismic zone co-efficient and desired seismic load command mentioned in 6.3 and ETABS
automatically calculates the base shear and distributed the lateral force in each storey.
10. Output:
After all the loading information is provided in the structural model, ETABS analyses the
structure and gives the required output (i.e. exact stress, support reactions, displacement, bending moment,
shear force, etc.)
Some of the output information as obtained from ETABS after analyzing the structure is shown as below.

n
Dimensions of the slab (c/c distance bet supports),
Length of short span, lx = 3.353 m
Length of long span, ly = 4.039 m
Width of the supporting beam, = 230 mm
Clear cover to main reinforcement = 15 mm
Assume dia. of reinforcement steel = 8 mm
Calculations
Assume the thickness of slab as 127 mm ;
Effective depth, deff = 108 mm
Effective span, lx = 3.3528 m (or) 3.231 m whichever is less; = 3.231 m
ly = 4.0386 m (or) 3.917 m whichever is less; = 3.917 m
(ly / lx ) = 1.21 < 2 ; Here, (ly / lx ) is less than 2
Hence design the slab as two way slab

Dead Load of slab = 0.127 x 25 = 3.18 KN/m

Footing area required = 6.38 m
Let L1 and L2 be the lengths of footings under column 1 and 2 respectively
and B be the width of footing
Then B(L1+L2) = 6.38
Assuming B = 2.00 m
L1 + L2 = 3.19 m
The distance from the resultant of the column forces to the center of Column C2
X = 1.47 m
Center of gravity of the two footings should coincide with the resultant of the two
column load to ensure uniform soil pressure below the two footings.

0.5L1 - 3.91L1 + 4.38 = 0 -----Eq 1
Solving Eq 1 we get
L1 = 1.72
L2 = 1.47
a1 = 0.15 m
b = 3.50 m
Now, X = 2.04 m
Provide L1 = 1.50 m

d = 176.50
provide effective depth d = 250.00
