INTRODUCTION
Nepal lies in the seismic zone of the Tibetan and Indian Plateau and experiences
Earthquakes from time to time. The scale of these earthquakes varies from small
to massive. Approximately every 80 years Nepal experiences an earthquake of
magnitude 8 or more.“Records show that since 1255AD Nepal experienced 19
earthquakes with significantly large impacts.” M.B. Poudyal, Conference,
May,2019.
The history records show the massive quakes from 1255, 1260, 1344, 1505, 1681,
1767, 1833, 1869, 1916, 1934, 1966, 1980, 1988, 2011, 2015 A.D. ranged from 6 to 8.9
Richter Scale Magnitude. We cannot stop the earthquakes but we can drastically
reduce its damage and casualties by using engineering knowledge on buildings
and structures. So we are interested to pursue on project based of earthquake
resistance of buildings.

THEME OF THE PROJECT
The main aim of this project work under the title is to
acquire the knowledge and skill to apply in the
practical application.
The utilization of analytical methods and design
approaches.
Application of various available codes of practices are
other aims of the project work.
3
OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The specific objectives of the project work are:
1. Identification of structural arrangement of the plan.
2. Detail structural analysis using SAP2000.
3. Structural design of structural components.
4. Structural detailing of members and the system.

Architectural planning
Structural planning: identification of load
paths and arrangement of beams and columns.
Preliminary design: determination of size of beam and slab based
on deflection criteria and size of column based on axial load on
column
Calculation of center of mass and center of rigidity for each floor
Calculation of self weight from unit weight of materials and identification of live load
based on type of occupancy from IS codes.
Calculation of seismic weight of building as per IS 1893:2002 from dead load
and appropriate live load of the various members.
Modeling in SAP2000 ,analysis .
Design and detailing of members: Slab, Beam, Column,
Staircase, Foundation.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Team Members
The members working on this project are Jenish Badya
Shrestha, Jitu Maharjan, SijanMaharjan, Sujan
Maharjan.
Feasibility Study
The project is to be completed by the allotted time of
7th and 8th semester. In the 7th semester we will have
been assigned with a supervisor, select the building
based on project requirements, learn design software
like AutoCad, Sap2000.
6
Work break down Structure
As the project is to due by 8th semester, we have divided the
work for 7th and 8th semester accordingly. The project work
will be carried out simultaneously with our regular classes
during the project assigned classes. The final reports will be
completed within given timeframe.
The works that have been completed till now are:
Group formation
Project selection
Group interaction
Proposal writing
7
Works to be completed within 7th semester:
Project briefing
Drawing received and discussion
Load calculation
Preliminary design works
Future works for 8th semester:
Idealization of structure
Load assessment
Modeling and analysis of structure
Design
Drawing and detailing
Estimating and costing

Codes and books that will be referred for
the project
All the calculations for the design will be based on IS:456-
2000 (Plain and Reinforced Concrete- Code of Practice),
IS:4326-2003 (Earthquake Resistant Design and
Construction of Buildings- Code of Practice), IS:5525-1999
(Recommendations for Detailing of Reinforcement in
Reinforced Concrete Works) and IS:13920-1993. Beside these
codes design aids Indian Standard Special Publications (SP
16, SP 22, SP 24 and SP 34) along with the textbooks by Pillai
and Menon, SN Sinha, AK Jain etc. will be referred.

MOTIVATION
Despite of having a lot of options we chose this project
as this addresses the need of the designing buildings
which can resist earthquake damages. As mentioned
above, Nepal is regarded as highly earthquake prone
locations. Hence the knowledge from this project can
help us in the real field while designing buildings.
10
Expected Outcomes
The expected outcome of this project is to calculate and
determine the stability of a high rise multistoried
building. This project will also give us the knowledge of
building construction and designing. Also the project will
give us concept of real work environment which will be
beneficial for us in our career aspect. This project will
help us work in teams hence developing teamwork
capabilities as well.
