Introduction
In reinforced concrete construction, slabs are utilized to create flat, functional surfaces. They
can be supported by reinforced concrete beams and are typically cast together with the beams.
Slabs can have support on two opposite sides only, resulting in one-way structural action,
where the load is mainly carried perpendicular to the supporting beams. Alternatively, beams
can be present on all four sides, allowing for two-way slab action. In cases where the length-
to-width ratio of a slab panel exceeds 2, the load is primarily borne in the shorter direction
towards the supporting beams, resulting in an effective one-way action, despite the presence
of supports on all sides.
In certain situations, concrete slabs may be directly supported by columns without the need
for beams or girders. These slabs, known as flat plates, are commonly used when spans are
not large and loads are not particularly heavy. Flat plate construction lacks beams but
incorporates a thickened slab area near the column, often with flared column tops. These
design elements, known as drop panels and column capitals, respectively, help reduce stresses
caused by shear and negative bending around the columns. A closely related slab type is the
two-way joist, also referred to as a grid or waffle slab. It involves creating voids in a
rectilinear pattern using metal or fiberglass form inserts, resulting in a ribbed construction that
reduces the dead load compared to solid-slab construction. Typically, the inserts are omitted
near the columns, allowing for the formation of solid slabs in those areas to better resist
moments and shear forces. In general, various types of slabs are used in construction projects.
For this particular project, the floor system predominantly consists of solid slabs. However,
there are also instances where one-way slabs and cantilever slabs are incorporated.
Based on the following floor plan, we can classify the slabs as one way or two-way slab

        From all panels’ given on the above table typical floor panels depth the governing effective
        depth is d = 135mm, therefore, we consider this depth for all floor panels. Then the depth of

LOADING
The slab is loaded with both DL and LL. Dead load comes from self-weight of slab, floor
finish, cement screed, plastering and partition load. Live loads are either movable or moving
load without any acceleration or impact.
Dead and live loads are calculated depending on the service of the slabs and self- weight.
Ignoring any localized effects caused by concentrated load, the partition loads are distributed
over the area of the slab. The design loads are factored according to the following formula.
Pd=1.35Gk+1.5Qk
Where Pd - total factored design load
       Gk - total dead load on slab
       Qk- total live load on slabs

          condition.
       For each support over which the slab is continuous there will thus generally be two different
       support moments. The deference may be distributed between the panels on either side of the
       support to equalize there moments, as in the moment distribution method for frames. Two
       methods of differing accuracy are provided in EBCS 2, 1995-I,
       Method1: When the differences between initial support moments are less than 20% of the
       larger moment.

       M adj=         2
       Based on the %change of moment we can decide whether method 1 or method 2 to be used.
       In this case we use method 2 to adjust the moment.

     For a BMD for X-direction middle strips (section A-A) with constant moment
     over the unloaded part, the following maximum moments are achieved
    Cantilever moment = the absolute of the negative moment at a support plus the
     span moment
            For the design of each panel we use design procedures and design table prepared by ato
            Misgun. The design procedures are the following:

                     according to ES EN 1992-1-1 section 9.3.1.1
            The slabs are designed using a concrete grade and steel grade of C25/30 and S400
            respectively. For both secondary and primary reinforcements a ф10 diameter reinforcement is
            used. According to ES EN 1992-1-1:
                The maximum and minimum reinforcement area required are computed using the
                     following formulas

                 The maximum spacing is computed using the following formulas
                 For primary reinforcement Smax=max(3�, 400��)
           For secondary reinforcement Smax=max 3.5�, 450��

3.1 Introduction
In the design of roof, the major loads which are applied on roof are wind load and live
load. Normal maintenance, repair, painting and minor repairs are the live loads acting
on the roof structure. The action of wind can be of the type of suction or pressure to
our structures both externally or internally. However, these effects are more
magnified for structures with more openings and large surface areas. Some of the
major factors that wind pressure depends on;
• Velocity of air
• Shape of the structure
• Density of air
• Stiffness of structure
• Angle of the induced wind
• Topography
To achieve the proper design (according to EBCS - 1 1995), the following conditions
have to be taken into account
• Turbulent wind acting over part or all of the structure
• Fluctuating pressures induced by the wake behind the structure
• Fluctuating forces induced by the motion of the structure
There are two methods for wind load analysis; simple procedures applied to the
structural properties that do not make them susceptible to dynamic excitation. The
other method is detailed dynamic analysis. This is applied to structures which are
likely to be susceptible to dynamic excitation. The choice of analysis from the above
two methods depend on the value of the structure‟s dynamic coefficient.The dynamic
coefficient depends on the type of structure, the height of the structure and its breadth.
The quasi-static method is used for structures whose Cd value is less or equal to 1.2.
In our case, the building variables are:
 Height of building =25.22 m
 Width of building = 14.55 m
 Length of the building=15.52 m
Wind load on the vertical wall
 Basic wind velocity (Vb)
where:
vb is the basic wind velocity, defined as a function of wind direction and time of year
at 10 m above ground of terrain category II vb,0 is the fundamental value of the basic
wind velocity = 22m/s. We assumed 22 m/s base velocity occurred in the region
where the building found.
 C-dir is the directional factor =1
 C-season is the season factor =1
The mean wind velocity Vm (z) at a height z above the terrain depends on the terrain
roughness and orography and on the basic wind velocity, Vb, and should be
determined using the following expression.
Where
 Cr(z) is the roughness factor
 Co(z) is the orography factor
Terrain roughness
The roughness factor, cr(z), accounts for the variability of the mean wind velocity at
the site of the structure due to:
 The height above ground level.
 The ground roughness of the terrain upwind of the structure in the wind direction
    considered.
Where
 Zo is the roughness length
 kr terrain factor depending on the roughness length Zo calculated using
Kr = 0.19*(zo/zo, II)0.07
Where
 ZO,II = 0.05m (terrain category II)
 Zmin is the minimum height =10m < 25.22m < Zmax is to be taken as 200 m
Note: for the table above the highlighted row shows this case is selected for this
project Therefore, Kr is calculated as
Kr = 0.19*(1/0.05) 0.07 = 0.2343
Cr(z)= kr*ln(z/zo) = 0.2343ln(25.22/1) = 0.756
Terrain orography
The effects of orography may be neglected when the average slope of the upwind
terrain is less than 3° in our case the roof type is flat.
Vm(z)= 0.756*1*22= 16.64m/s
The turbulence intensity Iv(z) at height z is defined as the standard deviation of the
turbulence divided by the mean wind velocity.
The recommended rules for the determination of Iv(z) are given as follow
Where:
 kI is the turbulence factor. The value of kI may be given in the National Annex.
    The recommended value is kI = 1.0.
 co is the orography factor Co=1
 z0 is the roughness length (Z, given in table above) Accordingly
lv(z)= 1/(1*ln(25.22/1)) = 0.31
Qp(z)= (1+7*0.31)*1/2*1.25*16.642 = 549 pa or = 0.549Kpa

The lack of correlation of wind pressures between the windward(region D) and
leeward side(region E) may be considered as follows. For buildings with h/d ≥ 5 the
resulting force is multiplied by 1. For buildings with h/d ≤ 1, the resulting force is
multiplied by 0,85. For intermediate values of h/d, linear interpolation may be applied.

An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden
release of energy in the
Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. So, we have to know that how much is
the intensity of this seismic wave. In order to insure that Human lives are protected;
Damage is limited; and Structures important for civil protection remain operational.

Therefore, We can use Lateral force method of analysis, also the building has regular

Design spectrum for elastic analysis
Where;
TB- is the lower limit of the period of the constant spectral acceleration branch;
TC- is the upper limit of the period of the constant spectral acceleration branch;
TD- is the value defining the beginning of the constant displacement response range
of the spectrum;
S- is the soil factor;
  - is the damping correction factor with a reference value of η= 1 for 5% viscous
damping,
ag- is the design ground acceleration (ag = γI agR)
Sd(T)- is the design spectrum;
q is the behavior factor; The adoption of values for q greater than 1.5 in the vertical
direction should be justified through an appropriate analysis.
β is the lower bound factor for the horizontal design spectrum, The recommended
value for β is 0,2
In our case TC ≤ T ≤ TD which is 0.4 ≤ 0.936 ≤ 2.0 (in Second). Therefore, We use
the following formula to determine the design spectrum.

                            Geometric Imperfections
The unfavorable effects of possible deviations in the geometry of the structure and the
position of loads shall be taken into account in the analysis of members and structures.
i.e. Geometrical Imperfection
Imperfections shall be taken into account in ultimate limit states in persistent and
accidental design situations.
The following provisions apply for members with axial compression and structures
with vertical load, mainly in buildings. Numerical values are related to normal
execution deviations. prEN 1992-1-1
ɑh= 2 /√25.22=0.398 but ɑh should be equal or between 2/3 and 1, therefor ɑh=2/3
ɑm= √0.5(1 + ( 1/22))) =0.72         Ө0 = 1/200 = 0.005
Therefore, Өi=0.005 ∗ 2/3 ∗ 0.72 = 0.0024
The definition of l and m depends on the effect considered, on bracing system: l =
height of building, m = number of vertical members contributing to the horizontal
force on the bracing system.
Then Lateral Load H is calculated using the formula, H= Θi*N where N is the Axial
force. And Өi is an inclination made by imperfection.

Etabs model
The layout and size of members are very often controlled by architectural details
and clearances for machinery and equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to either
check that beam sizes are adequate to carry the loading, or alternatively, decide on
the sizes that are adequate. The preliminary analysis need only provide the
maximum moments and shears in order to ascertain reasonable dimensions. Beam
dimensions required are: -
Cover to the reinforcement
Breadth (b)
Effective depth (d)
Overall depth (h)
Design for cover
The recommended procedure for the determination of the nominal concrete cover is
the same as the procedure used for slab. The only difference is that, nominal concrete
cover for beam sections is designed for both the longitudinal reinforcement and the
shear reinforcement (stirrup). Then the governing nominal concrete cover is the
minimum nominal concrete cover found by comparing the longitudinal and shear
reinforcement (stirrup) nominal concrete cover.
the nominal concrete cover is designed to meet requirements of durability, bond and
fire resistance according to ES EN 1992- 1.1:2015 section 4.4.1 and ES EN 1992-
1.2:2015 section 5.6, therefore the nominal concrete cover for the beam is designed for
a design service life of 50 years, normal quality control, maximum aggregate size of
20mm, 1HR fire resistance and exposure class of XC3.

���� = 15��, allowing for in design deviation, ∆c,dev=10mm
The nominal concrete cover, ���� = ���� + ∆���� = 15�� + 10�� = 25��
It can be seen from the above calculation that the nominal concrete cover
for the shear reinforcement governs. Therefor the provided nominal cover

COLUMN DESIGN
Columns are upright members which carry the loads from beams and slabs dawn to the
foundation and therefore they are primary compression members, although they may also
have to resist bending forces due to some eccentricity or due to the continuity of the structure.
For the purpose of design calculations, structural members may be classified as Sway or
Nonsway depending on their sensitivity to second order effect due to lateral displacements.
According to EBCS 2 1995 section 4.4.4.2
1. A frame may be classified as non-sway if its response to in-plane horizontal forces is
sufficiently stiff for it to be acceptably accurate to neglect any additional internal forces or
moments arising from horizontal displacements of its nodes.
2. Any other frame shall be classified as a sway frame and the effects of horizontal
displacements of it nodes shall be taken in to account in its design
3. A frame may be classified as non-way for a given load case if the critical load ratio
 Nsd/Ncr for that load case satisfies the criterion:
Nsd/Ncr ≤0.1
Where Nsd is design value of the total vertical load Ncr is its critical value for failure in a
sway mode
4. Beam and column type plane frames in building structures with beams connecting each
column at each story level may be classified as non-sway for a given load case, when first-
order theory is used, the horizontal displacements in each story due to the design loads (both
horizontal and vertical), plus the initial sway imperfection satisfy the criterion of the
following equation.
Where: is the horizontal displacement at the top of story, relative to the bottom of the story L
is the story height H is the total horizontal reaction at the bottom of the story N is the total
vertical reaction at the bottom of the story
DESINGPROCEDURE
1. To design a column in a particular frame first the frame is classified weather it is sway or
non-sway.
2. To determine the nature of the frame we substitute the beams and columns by one
substitute frame.
3. The value of the axial force on each substitute frame column is obtained by adding the
axial load each column for the story including self-weight.
4. The value of the stiffness coefficients of the substitute frame is given by
For beam = 2* Kbi
For column = Kci
Where: Kbi = stiffness coefficient of beam and Kci = stiffness coefficient of column
5. The effective length of the substitute frame is computed for each story assuming as sway
frame as shown below. The effective length buckling Le of a column in a given plane is
obtained from the following approximate equation provided that certain restriction is
compiled with.
a. Non-sway mode
Le/L = (αm + 0.4) / (αm + 0.8) ≥ 0.7
b. Sway mode
Slender
   = Le/i
Where Le = effective buckling length
i = radius of gyration of the gross concrete section in the plane of buckling.
i = I/A
LIMITS OF SLENDERNESS
According to EBCS 2 1995 section 4.4.6
1. the slenderness ratio of concrete column shall not exceed 140
2. the second order effects in compressive members need not be taken in to account in the
following cases:
a. for sway frames, the greater of
