INTRODUCTION:

This structure is considered as a 3D frame structure made up of steel built up sections. The size
of the structure is 105.8 m. x 46.2 m & Basement Height 9.0 m. The structure is analyzed &
designed by using STAAD Pro.-v8i select series-6. The design code is AISC-ASD.

Load Consideration:

Dead Load:
Self weight of the structure

Earth Pressure

Co-efficient of active earth pressure

ϕ
Ka= tan^2(45- ) …………..(Eq. 1)
2

It has been assumed that friction angle,ϕ= 35°

35
From Eq. 1, Ka = tan^2(45- ) = 0.271
2

Earth pressure, s = 0.8 γHKa [C=0.8 FOR LOSE SAND]

= 31.7 KN /m^2

It has been assumed that the unit weight of saturated soil ,γ=20 KN /m^2

From the profile and position of bracing, forces on the bracing are as follows:
31.7∗5.5∗5.5
Force on the top bracing, Ft = = 160 KN/ m
2∗3

31.7∗5.5∗5.5 31.7∗4.1∗4.1
Force on the bottom bracing Fb = (5.5* 31.7) - + (31.7* 4.1) -
2∗3 2∗4.1

= 80 KN /m

Live Load:
1 KN /m^2 as erection load
