3.2 Columns
3.2.1 Columns shall follow a specific labeling
Example label shall be
1C1
1 - below 2nd floor
C - (C) for main columns, (PC) for plntd
1 - in succeding order but shall not
differ per level
3.2.2 Material shall be C28
3.2.3 Conc cover shall be 0.065 meters
3.2.4 Property Modifiers
All shall be default to 1 except
Moment of Inertia abt 2 axis 0.7
Moment of Inertia abt 3 axis 0.7
3.2.5 Minimum width dimensions
b + 75 where b = beam width supported by col
3.2.6 Minimum Depth
Cy = floor((2*(b*d^3))^(0.25),25)
where Cy = column depth (along beam length)
b = supported beam width
d = supported beam depth
3.2.7 As much as possible, try using square column. If antici-
pated to be uniaxial(one biaxial moment is very much
larger than the other), use rectangular column.
3.2.8 Coordinate with arki if column size will be greater than
500x500mm.
3.2.9 Minimum vert bar size is 16mm
3.2.10 Use template for column sizing. Preferred rebar ratio
is 2.5%.
3.3 Slabs
3.3.1 Slabs shall be labelled per thickness
Example label shall be
S125
S - (CS) for cantilever, (S) for others
125 - thickness in mm
3.3.2 Material shall be C21
3.3.3 Type shall be SHELL
3.3.4 Property Modifiers
All shall be default to 1 except
bending m11 0.25
bending m22 0.25
3.3.5 slabs shall be 2way if S/L is equal or greater than 0.5
3.3.6 Do not use special 1-way load distribution of ETABS
3.3.7 Minimum thickness shall be
for 2 way = as per calculated refer to (NSCP 409.6.3)
for 1 way (see below table)
if 10 no other slabs at sides S/25
for 2 adjacent slabs S/30
main interior slabs(sandwich b/w 2 slabs) S/35
bars Cantilever S/12
no other slabs at sides S/20
if 12 2 adjacent slabs S/24
or
interior slabs(sandwich b/w 2 slabs) S/28
larger
Cantilever S/10
3.3.8 Assign mesh on slabs such that there will be atleast
3 points per beam, preferred mesh intersects. Manual
mesh if default mesh is not applicable.
3.4 Diaphragms shall be rigid and assigned per level
11. Load SDL and Live loads as per design criteria. Apply Reactions
from roof model as joint loads, wall loads as line loads on beams,
area loads on shell elements, stair loads on stair beams, etc.
Assign Reducible live loads to RELIVE load case and unreducible
live loads to LIVE load case.
15. Check Torsional Irregularity using load cases EQEX and EQEY
Apply Torsional Amplification factor, Ax to eccentricity
Override Eccentricities for Step 5 and 7 with below value per
diaphragm (Refer to NSCP 208.5.7)
Ecc = Ax (0.05B)
16. Scale up/down scale factor for dynamic load cases based on static
load cases to 100%
scale factor = Vs/Vd
18. Calculate for building (refer to NSCP 208.5.1.1) use EQEX, EQEY
r = 2 - 6.1/rmax/√Ab
for SMRF 1 ≤ ≤ 1.25
for dual Systems 1 ≤ ≤ 1.5 but shall be taken as 80% that
calculated by above equation
If exceeds that of maximum limits specified above, contact
