STRUCTURAL DESIGN
OF
RCC BUILDING
COMPONENTS
The procedure for anal ysis and design of a given building will depend
on the t ype of building, its complexit y, the number of stories etc. First
the architectural drawings of the building are studied, structural sys tem
is finalized sizes of structural members are decided and brought to the
knowledge of the concerned architect. The procedure for structural
design will involve some steps which will depend on the t ype of
building and also its complexity and the time ava ilable for structural
design. Often, the work is required to start soon, so the steps in design
are to be arranged in such a way the foundation drawings can be taken
up in hand within a reasonable period of time.

Structural system
Purpose of Codes
National building codes have been formulated in different
countries to lay down guidelines for the design and construction of
structure. The codes have evolved from the collective wisdom of expert
structural engineers, gained over the years. These codes are
periodicall y revised to bring them in line with current rese arch, and
often, current trends.
Design Handbooks
The Bureau of Indian standards has also published the following
handbooks, which serve as useful supplement to the 1978 version of the
codes. Although the handbooks need to be updated to bring them in
line with the recently revised (2000 version) of the Code, many of the
provisions continue to be valid (especiall y with regard to structural
design provisions).
AIM OF DESIGN
METHOD OF DESIGN –
Structure and structural elements shall normally be designed by Limit State
Method.
Where the Limit State Method cannot be conveniently adopted, Working
Stress Method may be used
NOTES
26.4.2.1 However for a longitudinal reinforcing bar in a column nominal cover shall
in any case not be less than 40 mm, or less than the diameter of such bar. In
the case of columns of minimum dimension of 200 mm or under, whose
reinforcing bars do not exceed 12 mm, a nominal cover of 25 mm may be
used.
DESIGN LOAD
LOAD COMBINATIONS
As per IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Clause no. 6.3.1.2, the following load cases have to be
considered for analysis:
1.5 (DL + IL)
1.2 (DL + IL ± EL)
1.5 (DL ± EL)
0.9 DL ± 1.5 EL
Earthquake load must be considered for +X, -X, +Z and –Z directions.
Moreover, accidental eccentricity during earthquake can be such that it causes
clockwise or anticlockwise moments. So both clockwise & anticlockwise
torsion is to be considered.
Thus, ±EL above implies 8 cases, and in all, 25 cases must be considered.
It is possible to reduce the load combinations to 13 instead of 25 by not using negative
torsion considering the symmetry of the building.
STIFFNESS
The assumptions made shall be consistent for all the numbers of the
structure throughout any analysis.
STRUCTURAL FRAMES
22.4.1 b) When design live load does not exceed three-fourths of the design dead
load, the load arrangement may be design dead load and design live load
on all the spans.
Note: For beams continuous over support 22.4.1 (a) may be assumed.
22.4.2 Substitute Frame: For determining the moments and shears at any floor
or roof level due to gravity loads, the beams at that level together with
columns above and below with their far ends fixed may be considered to
constitute the frame.
22.4.3 For lateral loads, simplified methods may be used to obtain the moments
and shears for structures that are symmetrical. For unsymmetrical or very
tall structures, more rigorous methods should be used.
For moments at supports where two unequal spans meet or in case where
the spans are not equally loaded, the average of the two values for the
negative moment at the support may be taken for design.
Where a member is built into a masonry wall which develops only partial
restraint, the member shall be designed to resist a negative moment at the
face of the support of W1/24 where W is the total design load and 1 is the
effective span, or such other restraining moment as may be shown to be
applicable. For such a condition shear coefficient given in Table below at
the end support may be increased by 0.05.

SHEAR FORCE COFFICIENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: For obtaining the shear force, the coefficient shall be multiplied by the
total design load.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22.6.1 For monolithic construction, the moments computed at the face of the
supports shall be used in the design of the members at those sections. For
non-monolithic construction the design of the member shall be done
keeping in view 22.2.
The shears computed at the face of the Support shall be used in the design
of the member at that section except as in 22.6.2.1
22.6.2.1 When the reaction in the direction of the applied shear introduces
compression into the end region of the member, sections located at a
distance less than d from the face of the support may be designed for the
same shear as that computed at distance d.
REDISTRIBUTION OF MOMENTS
EFFECTIVE DEPTH
23.0 Effective depth of a beam is the distance between the centroid of the area
of tension reinforcement and the maximum compression fibre, excluding
the thickness of finishing material not placed monolithically with the
member and the thickness of any concrete provided to allow for wear.
This will not apply to deep beams.
CONTROL OF DEFLECTION
a) The final deflection due to all loads including the effects of temperature,
creep and shrinkage and measured from the as-cast level of the supports of
floors, roofs and all other horizontal members, should not normally exceed

23.2.1 For beams, the vertical deflection limits may generally be assumed to be
satisfied provided that the span to depth ratio are not greater than the value
obtained as below:
Cantilever 7
Simply supported 20
Continuous 26
b) For spans above 10m, the values in (a) may be multiplied by 10/span in
metres, except for cantilever in which case deflection calculations should
be made.
c) Depending on the area and the type of steel for tension reinforcement, the
value in (a) or (b) shall be modified as per Fig. 4
e) For flanged beams, the value of (a) or (b) be modified as per Fig. 6 and the
reinforcement percentage for use in fig. 4 and 5 should be based on area of
section equal to bf d.
23.4 Slabs Monolithic with Supports Bending moments in slabs (except flat slabs)
constructed monolithically with the supports shall be calculated by taking such
slabs either as continuous over supports and capable of free, or as members of a
continuous frame work with the supports, taking into account the stiffness of such
support. If such supports are formed due to beams which justify fixity at the
support of slabs, then the effects on the supporting beam, such as, the bending of
the web in the transverse direction of the beam, wherever applicable, shall also be
considered in the design of the beams.

Step3: Load Calculation and analysis. For each floor or roof, the loading
intensity of slab is calculated taking into account the dead load of the slab, finish
plaster, etc. including partitions and the live load expected on the floor, depending on
the usage of the floor or roof. The linear loading of beams, columns, walls, parapets,
etc. also calculated.
Step(i): First, the load from slab (including Live load & Dead Load) is transferred on
to the adjoining beams using formulas given below|:-
For computation of shear force on beams & reactions on columns, an
equivalent
uniformly distributed load per linear meter of beam may be taken as :
Where w is the total load on the slab panel in Kn/Sqm & L & B are long span &
short spans of slab panel respectively.
Step(ii): Over this load, the weight of wall (if any), self weight of beam etc. are added
to get the load on beam (in running metre).
Step(iii):The load (in running metre) on each beam is calculated as in Step 1 & Step 2.
Step(iv):Then the loads from the beams are transferred to the columns.
Step(vi):These loads at various floors on each column are then added to get the total
loads on each column, footing and the whole building.
The Horizontal Load Calculation or the Load Calculations for Seismic case is carried
out as per the Indian Standard Code IS:1893-2002.
The loads calculated in Para-II above at various floor levels are modified as per the

structure is made up of a system of columns, beams and slabs. It is
presumed that the reinforcements are always so arranged that all
joints of the frame are monolithic.

The maximum axial load & moments acting along the length of
the column are considered for the design of the column section
either by the working stress method or limit state method.
The transverse reinforcement is provided to impart effective
lateral support against buckling to every longitudinal bar. It is either
in the form of circular rings of pol ygonal links (late ral ties).

Depth of foundation below ground level may be obtained by using
Rankine's formula

i) To determine the area required for proper transfer of total load on the soil,
the total load (the combination of dead, live and any other load without
multiplying it with any load factor) need be considered.

(vii)Development Length
(Reference Clause 34.2.4.3)
The critical section for checking the development length in a footing
shall be assumed at the same planes as those described for bending moment
in clause 34.2.3 of code (as discussed 4.5 of the handout) and also at all
other vertical planes where abrupt changes of section occur.

with in the footing and having for its upper base, the area
actually loaded and having side slope of one vertical to two
horizontal.
A2 = Loaded area at the column base.
For limit state method of design, the permissible bearing stress shall be = 45 fek
4.91 If the permissible bearing stress is exceeded either in column concrete or in
footing concrete, reinforcement must be provided for developing the excess
force. The reinforcement may be provided either by extending the longitudinal
bars into the footing or by providing dowels in accordance with the code as
give in the following:-
1) Minimum area of extended longitudinal bars or dowels must be 0.5% of
cross sectional area of the supported column or pedestal.
2) A minimum of four bars must be provided.
3) If dowels are used their diameter should not exceed the diameter of the
column bars by more than 3 mm.
4) Enough development length should be provided to transfer the
compression or tension to the supporting member.
5) Column bars of diameter larger than 36 mm, in compression only can
be dowelled at the footing with bars of smaller diameters. Te dowel
must extend into the column a distance equal to the development length
of the column bar. At the same time, the dowel must extend vertically
into the footing a distance equal to the development length of the
dowel.
The design of floor slab is carried out as per clause 24.4 & 37.1.2 & Annexure D of IS: 456-2000. The
Bending moment coefficients are to be taken from table- 26 of the code depending upon the support condition &
bending moment calculated & reinforcement steel may be calculated from the charts of SP-16. The slab design for
particular floor may be done in tabular form as shown below.
Determine the main reinforcement required for a slab with the following data:
Factored moment Mu 9.60 kN.mper Metre width
Depth of slab 10 cm
Concrete mix M 20
Characteristic strength a) 415 N/mm2
Referring to table 35 (for fck=20 & fy = 415 N/mm2), directly we get the following
reinforcement for a moment of resistance of 9.60 kN.m per Metre width:
8 mm dia at 13 cm spacing
or 10 mm dia at 210 cm spacing
Check for Deflection:-Slab is also checked for control of Deflection as per clause
23.2.1, 24.1 & Fig 4. of the IS:456-2000.
M u , l i m/ b d 2 = 2.76 N/ mm 2
= 2.76/1000 X (1000) 2
= 2.76 X 10 3 kN/m 2
Mu,lim = 2.76 X 10 3 bd 2
= 2.76 X 10 3 X 0.300 X0.565X0.565
= 264.32 kN.m
Actual moment of 170 kN.m is less than M u , l i m. The section is therefore
to be designed as a singl y reinforced (under -reinforced) rectangular
section.
Actual moment of 320 Kn.M is greater than Mu 2 lim hence the section
is to be designed as a doubly reinforced section .
