The building shown in the figures below, is a 3-bay multi-storeyed reinforced concrete framed
structure consisting of two external bays of 5.3m span and an internal bay of 2.3m span. The
frames are spaced at 4.5 m c/c. The length of the building is 22.5m. The height of the building
is 15.1m, comprising 4 storey with the 1st floor 4.0m high from the ground floor to the firstfloor level and the next 3 floors each 3.7m high. There is a provision for the basement. The
building also houses an elevator and also an emergency fire escape staircase at the back of the
building. The basic room size is 4.5m width and 5.3 length with 100mm partition walls.Design Data
The following design data are to be assumed in the analyses and design of structure:
Number of bays =3
Number of stories=4
Number of frames=6
Spacing of frames=4.5 m
Spacing of longitudinal beams=2.65 m
Span of 1st bay from left=5.3 m
Span of 2nd bay from left=2.3 m
Span of 3rd bay from left=5.3mHeight from ground floor to 1st floor=4.0 m
Height from 1st floor to 2nd floor=3.7 m
Height from 2nd floor to 3rd floor=3.7 m
Height from 3rd floor to roof=3.7 m
Bulk density of reinforced concrete, BS 8110: Part 1: 1997[1.1]=24
kN/m3
Bulk density of reinforced Eurocode 1, part 1-1[1.7]=25 kN/m3
Allowable bearing capacity of soil (non-cohesive) at 3 m depth (after
geotechnical investigation), BS 8004:1986[5]=300 kN/m2
Density of soil, Eurocode 1: Part 1-4[1.7]=20 kN/m3
Live loads on roof (with access), Eurocode 1: Part 1-4[1.7]=1.5 kN/m2
Live loads on floors (including ground floor), Eurocode 1: Part 1-4[1.7]=
5.0 kN/m2
Basic wind speed (velocity), BS 6399: Part 2: 1997[1.5]=30 m/s.
10 mm= ceiling finish 24kN/m3
50 mm insulating screed over slab at roof level and 20 mm over other slabs
20 mm asphalt over roof screed=22.6k/m2
100 mm partition walls (light weight aggregate concrete)=16.5kN/m3
20 mm plaster on both faces of walls 150 mm deep slab
a) Calculate the applied vertical loadings on all beams and frames. You must show
your structural framing in your solution.
b) Determine design bending moments and shear forces in one typical main frame
(A3-D3) and one typical one secondary beam on the 3rd floor. use eurocode 2 in this design
The building shown in the figures below, is a 3 -
