1. Problem Statement
A One storey steel framed building for commercial use has plan dimensions as shown in Figure 1. The building is located in
seismic zone V on a site with medium soil. It is required to design the steel structure building for wind load which is more
effective than seismic loads as per Indian Standard Code (IS875:1987) and regulations. Steel structural elements and their
connections are to be designed so that the whole building is within the strength and serviceability limits as per IS 800:2007.
CGI sheets are to be used for roofing and walls.

2. Scope
Almost materials and their sizes are so chosen that these are easily available in the market. To make economical design and
safe design computer software and design templates are used for the analysis and design of this structure in addition to manual
calculations. Load calculation is done using IS-875:1987(2003) IS 1893:1984 (although this standard is improved in India for
IS-1893:2002) and NBC105: 1994 (based on IS-1893:1984) as code of standards. For analysis, different software is available
during these days. Concerning to the project “CSI-ETABS V-16” integrated building software is used for analysis and design
of steel structural elements choosing IS-CODE options so available within the software. Foundation analysis/design and Steel
connections designs are completed manually with Excel spread sheet confirming IS-800:2007 and IS-456:2000. Manual
analysis and design using IS-800:2007 and IS-456:2000 carried out with the help of me created excel-templates made
accordingly.
Limit state method is used for design. It uses the concept of probability and based on the application of method of statistics to
the variation that occurs in practice in the loads acting on the structures or in the strength of material. The structures may reach
a condition at which it becomes unfit for use for one of many reasons e.g. collapse, excessive deflection, cracking, etc. and each
of this condition is referred to a limit state condition. The aim of limit state design is to achieve an acceptable probability that a
structure will not become unserviceable in its lifetime for the use for which it has been intended i.e. it will not reach a limit
state. It means structures should be able to withstand safely all loads that are liable to act on it throughout its life and it would
satisfy the limitations of deflection and cracking.

Loading Systems
Dead Load: A constant load in a building structure that is due to the weight of the members, the supported structure, and
permanent attachments or accessories. This analysis deals with dead loads to be assumed in the design of buildings and same is
given in the-form of unit weight of materials. The unit weight of other materials that are likely to be stored in a building should
be also included for the purpose of load calculations due to stored materials. These loads are calculated as specified in IS-
875:1987(part I)
Live Load : The load assumed to be produced by the intended use or occupancy of a building, including the weight of
movable partitions, distributed, concentrated loads, load due to impact and vibration, and dust load but excluding wind,
seismic, snow and other loads due to temperature changes, creep, shrinkage, differential settlement, etc. This analysis covers
imposed loads*(live loads) to be assumed in the design of buildings. The imposed loads, used in this building analysis, are
minimum loads which should be taken into consideration for the purpose of structural safety of buildings. These loads are
calculated as specified in IS-875:1987 (part II)
Fig: 2- Dead Load and Live Load transfer from Area to support
Seismic Load: The force on a structure caused by acceleration induced on its mass by an earthquake. This load is included in
design to determine the extent of seismic reinforcing. The seismic loads on the structure during an earthquake result from
inertia forces which were created by ground accelerations. The magnitude of these loads is a function of the following factors:
mass of the building, the dynamic properties of the building, the intensity, duration, and frequency content of the ground
motion, and soil-structure interaction. The analysis method and earthquake loads are calculated as specified in IS1893:1984 in
conjunction with NBC-105:1994.
Wind Load: Wind is air in motion relative to the surface of the earth. The primary cause of wind is traced to earth’s rotation
and differences in terrestrial radiation. The radiation effects are primarily responsible for convection either upwards or
downwards. The wind generally blows horizontal to the ground at high wind speeds. Since vertical components of atmospheric
motion are relatively small, the term ‘wind’ denotes almost exclusively the horizontal wind, vertical winds are always
identified as such. Wind load on the building would be usually uplift force perpendicular to the roof due to suction effect of the
wind blowing over the roof. The positive or negative force of the wind acting on the structure; wind applies a positive pressure
on the windward side of the building and a negative suction to the leeward side. This analysis ignored the wind loads as the
building is located in seismic zone V and hence the earthquake loads predominant it and the height of the building is less.
Fig: 3- Nature of Wind Pressure
The wind loads are calculated using IS: 875(part3) as

Wind Pressure = 0.6*(Vz) ²
Where
Vz = Design wind speed
Vz= k1*k2*k3*Vb
k1= probability factor
k2= terrain and height factor
k3= topography factor

#Load paths: - Loads are applied to surfaces, along members and to points along members. Surfaces that is roof and floor slabs and
walls, transfer loads to members in skeletal structures. Transfer of load from surface to member and member to member, such as slab
to beam, wall to column, beam to beam and beam to column to foundation, are the load paths through ugh the structure. Each
Individual slab, member or frame must be strong enough to carry its loads. Members and frames must be spaced and arranged to carry
their loads in the most efficient manner. Standard framing arrangements have been developed for all types of buildings.

Welding/Bolting
Arc welding uses an electrical arc to melt the work materials as well as filler material (sometimes called the welding rod) for
welding joints. Arc welding involves attaching a grounding wire to the welding material or other metal surface. Another wire
known as an electrode lead is placed on the material to be welded. Once that lead is pulled away from the material, an electric
arc is generated. It's a little like the sparks. The arc then melts the work pieces along with the filler material that helps to join
the pieces. The electrode rod is made of a material that is compatible with the base material being welded and is covered with a
flux that gives off vapours that serve as a shielding gas and provide a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area from
atmospheric contamination. Welding shall be in accordance with the standards IS 816-1989: Code of practice for use of metal
arc welding for general construction in mild steel and shall be conducted by appropriately qualified welders.

5. Loading Data Assignments

Consideration
The following considerations are made for the assignment of loads on the structural model:
 The loads distributed over the area are imposed on area element and that distributed over length are imposed on line
element whenever possible.
 Where such loading is not applicable, equivalent conversion to different loading distribution is carried to load the model
near the real case as far as possible.
 The imposed loading of infill walls are considered(as per architectural drwg.) as equivalent UDL with 25% to 30%
deductions for openings, but the actual modelling of infill walls as equivalent Struts are not performed. Hence the stiffness of
infill walls is not considered.
Loading Data and Calculations

The weight of the structural elements is calculated by program itself as it is chosen self-weight multiplier as 1. Loads due to
external elements such as walls/floors, imposed loads, wind loads and earthquake loads are calculated as shown in tables below
and applied to the corresponding structural elements.

6. Frames Analysis and Design

General Building Systems
A building is subjected to gravity loads such as dead loads & live loads and lateral loads such as wind and earthquake
loads. These loads are transferred to ground through a system of interconnected structural members. Connections between
beam and column may be moment resistant.
A structural system may be of the following system
1. Load bearing wall system: Walls provide support for all gravity and lateral loads. Indian standard of code practice restrict
the use of such building to 3 storeys in seismic zone V.
2. Shear wall system: It is wall designed to resist lateral forces acting in its own plane. It also referred as vertical diaphragm
or structural wall. Shear walls in buildings must be symmetrically placed along exterior perimeter of the building to reduce ill-
effects of twist in buildings.
3. Moment resisting Frame System: It is a system in which members and joints are capable of resisting vertical and lateral
loads primarily by flexure. Frames may be designed using concept of strong column-weak girder proportions. There are two
types of MRF
4. Dual Frame System: MRF with shear wall also termed as Dual System. The interaction between the frame and the shear
wall reduces the lateral deflection of the structural wall at the top, while the wall helps support the frame near the base. The
MRFs are designed to independently resist at least 25% of design base shear, even if shear walls share more than 75% of the
total lateral force. This is to take care of effect of displacement during
earthquake.
5. Tube System: A structural system consisting of closely spaced exterior columns tied at each floor level with relatively deep
spandrel beams. Such a building has very high moment of inertia about the two orthogonal axes in plan and very high torsional
stiffness about vertical axis and used for tall buildings to limit the storey lateral displacement.
Among these a structural system SMRF is adopted here while designing the building.
The strength and stiffness of the infill walls are ignored but their equivalent loads/masses are considered while designing bare
frames for earthquake load.
It is desirable to provide a 10-20 mm clear gap between the masonry panel and the adjoining beams and columns.
The data and other building features are thoroughly adopted while analysing the SMRF building by software CSI-ETABS.
Analysis of Building Systems

Finite-element modelling: - A three-dimensional finite-element model of the purposed building was generated in ETABS.V.16,
which included the Prefab Calcium silicate walls & flooring and CGI sheet roofing. It was assumed loads would be transferred
to the ground through the isolated footings. Finite element analysis will give more accurate results. Structures support loads and
enclose space and are of three-dimensional construction.
ETABS is a stand-alone finite-element-based structural analysis program with special purpose features for structural design and
analysis of building systems. The numerical methods used to analyse the building allow modelling of steel deck floors systems
that can automatically transfer their loads to main girders. The automated finite element meshing of complex floor systems with
automated displacement interpolation at mismatched mesh transitions, coupled with Eigen analysis for dynamics, makes
inclusion of diaphragm flexibility effects in the analysis very practical.

b) Base Reactions (envelope)

The foundation reactions e.g. Moments and forces are taken from factored dead loads and imposed load which is shown in fig
below. Since the reaction is no more and seems similar all footings are grouped as one. The design of is group of foundation is
included in foundation design heads in this report.
Table: 10- Base Reactions and Allocation of Foundation Groups
Here maximum reaction is 96 KN in z-direction moments on the base in any direction is less than 1. Hence isolated footings for
100KN ultimate reaction is designed and applied to all footings. An isolated footing of 3’X3’ (9 sq. ft.=0.836m2) is considered

Design
The specific aim of structural design is, for a given framing arrangement, to determine the member sizes to support the
structure’s loads.
Limit state theory of Design

It includes principles from the elastic and plastic theories and incorporates other relevant factors to give as realistic a basis for
design as possible. The following concepts are central to limit state theory.
1. Account is taken in design of all separate conditions that could cause failure or make the structure unfit for its intended
use. These are the various limit states and are listed in the next section.
2. The design is based on the actual behaviour of materials in structures and performance of real structures established by
tests and long-term observations. Good practice embodied in clauses in codes and specifications must be followed in
order that some limit states cannot be reached.
3. The overall intention is that design is to be based on statistical methods and probability theory. It is recognized that no
design can be made completely safe; only a low probability that the structure will not reach a limit state can be achieved.
However, full probabilistic design is not possible at present and the basis is mainly deterministic.
Design of Frames
These include the choice of materials, type of foundations used, methods of jointing, the fabrication process and erection
methods, Other design considerations such as fatigue, brittle fracture, fire resistance and corrosion protection are also noted.
Hot rolled steel sections joined using bolting and welding is used for framing elements. Frame members are classified as their
responses to loadings. A member in upright (vertical) position which supports a roof or floor system and predominantly
subjected to compression is said to column. A member subjected predominantly to bending is called beam. All the structural
steel used in this report shall before fabrication conform to IS 2062. Physical properties of structural steel irrespective of its
grade may be taken as:
Unit mass of steel, ρ = 7850 kg/m3
Modulus of elasticity, E = 2.0 x 10s N/mm2 (MPa)
Poisson ratio, μ = 0.3
Modulus of rigidity, G = 0.769 x 10ˆ 5N/mm2 (MPa)
Co-efficient of thermal expansion α. = 12 x10ˆ-6 /◦c
Bolts, nuts and washers conforming to IS 1363 (Parts 1 to 3), IS 1364 (Parts 1 to 5), IS 1367 (Parts 1 to 20), IS 3640, IS 3757,
IS 4000, IS 5369, IS 5370, IS 5372, IS 5374, IS 5624, IS 6610, IS 6623, IS 6639, and IS 6649. The recommendations in IS
4000 shall be followed.
Structure and its elements are designed by the limit state method. Where the limit states method cannot be conveniently
adopted; the working stress design may be used. In the limit state design method, the structure shall be designed to withstand
safely all loads likely to act on it throughout its life. It shall not suffer total collapse under accidental loads such as from
explosions or impact or due to consequences of human error to an extent beyond the local damages. The objective of the design
is to achieve a structure that will remain fit for use during its life with acceptable target reliability.
Preliminary designed sections are provided and the structure is checked for different load combinations by powerful steel
structure analysis software CSI-ETABS_V.16.

Truss Design:-Steel trusses, supported on columns, are one of the structural systems commonly used in industrial buildings.
The steel trusses have been designed as simply supported on columns and subjected to loads (dead, live, crane, wind and
earthquake loads) applied through the purlins, girts and gantry girders. The columns have been designed as cantilevers tied
together resisting wind load and other loads acting perpendicular to the ridge, in addition to axial load. The analysis and design
results are given for purlins, steel roof trusses made of angles or tubes, columns and base plates.
The typified designs have been done considering economy associated with minimum weight and mass production of repetitive
fabrication. The analysis and designs have been done on the basis of relevant Indian Standards.
The hot-rolled steel members and fasteners conforming to IS: 226-1975, IS: 2062-1984 and steel tubes conforming to grade Yst 25 of
IS: 1161-1979 have been used in the elements of the structure.
Truss Configuration - Before the choice of a final configuration of truss for the typified design, several commonly used truss
configurations have been studied. From among these, Howe type configuration is selected.
Is: 806 • 1968 (reaffirmed 2008) code of practice for use of steel tubes in general building construction. If not galvanized, all
tubes shall, unless otherwise specified, be painted or oiled or otherwise protectively coated before exposure to the weather. If they are to
be painted in accordance with any special requirements, this shall be arranged between the purchaser and the manufacturer. In tubular
construction, the ends of tubes may be flattened or otherwise for me d to provide for welded, riveted or bolted connections provided
that the methods adopted for such flattening do not injure the material. The change of section shall be gradual.
6.4.2 Design of Connections

Connections are so designed capable of transmitting the calculated design actions. Connection elements consist of components
such as cleats, gusset plates, brackets, connecting plates and connectors such as rivets, bolts, pins, and welds. The partial safety
factor in the evaluation of design strength of connections is taken as 1.25 for bolts and shop welds. The distance between
centres of fasteners shall not be less than 2.5 times the nominal diameter of the fastener. The distance between the centres of
any two adjacent fasteners is maintained not exceeding 32t or 300 mm whichever is less, where t is the thickness of the thinner
plate. Requirements of welds and welding shall conform to IS 816.

(b) Direct contact overlaps connection with eccentricity;
(c) Direct contact gap connection with/without eccentricity (with chord face reinforcing plate shown—without reinforcing plate is very common);
(d) T-joint with chord face reinforcing plate (for very heavy loads—otherwise no reinforcing plate is also popular);
(e) Connection detail at support (note vertical stub portion with flange splice for lifting onto support);
(f) Concentric reducer where chord section is stepped down (alternatively, if the overall section is not stepped down then the wall thickness is reduced—the
latter applies for RHS/SHS);
(g) slotted-gusset connections;
(h) Flattened end connections, and;
(i) Slit tube connections
Fabrication Details
Fabrication covers the process of making the individual elements of the steel-framed building from rolled steel sections and
plates. The general process is set out briefly as follows:
1. The fabricator prepares the materials lists and drawings showing the shop details.
2. Rolled members are cut to length and drilled by numerically controlled plant.
3. Shapes of gussets, cleats, endplates, stiffeners etc. are marked out and flame or plasma-arc cut and edges are ground.
Hole locations are marked and holes drilled.
4. For built-up members, plates are flame or plasma-arc cut, followed by machining for edges and weld preparation.
5. Main components and fittings are assembled and positioned and final welding is carried out by automatic submerged-arc
or gas-shielded process. Appropriate measures are taken to control distortion and cracking.
6. Members are cleaned by grit blasting, primed and given their mark number.
Careful design can reduce fabrication costs. Some points to be considered are as follows.
1. Rationalize the design so that as many similar members as possible are used. This will result in extra material being
required but will reduce costs.
2. The simplest detail should be used so that welding is reduced to a minimum, sound welds can be assured and inspection
and testing carried out easily.
3. Standard bolted connections should be used throughout.
Purlin Rafter Connection Details – The sheeting and the fasteners connecting sheeting to supporting members should be
capable of resisting local high pressure recommended by IS: 875-1964. The connection detail between truss rafter and
channel/tube purlin is shown in above. The purlins are to be located at or as close as possible to the nodes of the roof trusses.
Angle Truss Connection Details –The members at a joint should be connected such that their C.G. lines intersect at a point
without any eccentricity. All the shop connections are welded and field connections may be bolted or welded. The 9 to 12 m
span trusses are to be completely fabricated as one unit in the shop. The 18 to 24 m span trusses are to be fabricated in two
units and assembled in field to form the desired truss whereas the 30 m span trusses are to be fabricated in shop and transported
in three units and are to be assembled in field to form the 30 m span.
Tube Truss Connection Details Typical details of connections between tubular members of the truss are shown in fig above.
All shop and field connections are welded. The 9 to 12 m trusses are to be fabricated in shop as whole unit and transported to
site. The 18 to 24 m trusses are fabricated in shop as two units and 30 m trusses as 3 units for ease of transportation and finally
joined together at site by welding.

7. Foundation Analysis and Design

General
Foundation are the structural element that transfer the loads from the building or individual columns to the earth. The
scope of foundation design is to consider the excessive settlement, rotation, differential settlement and safety against
sliding /overturning of foundation.
Types of Footings
a) Isolated Footing: used for single column and may have square rectangular or circular shapes
b) Strip Footing: Wall footing
c) Combined footing: supports two or more columns
d) Raft/Mat foundation: Support all columns. Used when soil bearing capacity is low and sum of individual footing area is
more than 50% of plinth area.
e) Pile/Well foundations: minimum three piles are capped to support the structures. Well foundations are used in bridge
foundations.
Selection of footings is made from experience but for economical foundations following factors governs the major.
- Bearing capacity of soil and N-values of SPT
- Permissible differential settlement
- Soil strata
- Type of structures and loadings on them
Here the type of footing adopted is an isolated footing of size shown in Table: 10
7.3 Bearing Capacity of soil
The total load per unit area under the footing must be less than permissible bearing capacity of the soil.
Foundations must be designed to resist vertical loads, horizontal loads and moments.
Typical net bearing capacity of different soil types are described below.
Rock: 3300KN/m2 to 450 KN/m2
Non-cohesive soil: 450 KN/m2 to 100 KN/m2
Cohesive soil: 450 KN/m2 to 50 KN/m2.

Here the safe bearing capacity adopted is a minimum 130 KN/m2 for the proposed site.
Depth of Foundation
Factors
-Seasonal weather change e.g. erosion and movement of upper soil
-Lateral earth pressure required to resist horizontal loads.
-safe bearing capacity
Minimum depth of foundation = p/γ [(1-sinΦ)/ (1+sinΦ)] ²
Φ=angle of repose of soil, p= gross bearing capacity, γ = density of soil
However minimum depth of 500mm is mandatory.
Here the depth of foundation adopted is a minimum of 1 m from the existing ground level.
7.5 Analysis and Design of Foundation
The reaction forces are obtained from ETABS analysis and the corresponding designs are made manually with the help
of EXCEL template following the criterion of IS: 456-2000. Here the safe bearing capacity is taken on the basis of
categorization of site soil and peripheral geographical/hydrological features. Experiences with similar soil type and
location as the determination of proper value is out of the scope of this report. The design parameters are shown in
below and corresponding drawing are also attached in structural drawing section of the architectural report.

8. Conclusion
The purpose of this building is commercial. Hence due to high cost of soil investigation actual borehole site exploration
and the determination of bearing capacity of soil is omitted and adopted with the experience and visual inspection of site
and local possibilities. The frame system analysis is made with an well powered software CSI-ETABS V16.Attempts are
made to economise and simplified the construction ensuring earthquake safety and adopting common materials, common
sections, and schedules. Design process is interactive process of selecting frames and checking for loads considered. Final
safe checked and passed model with possible minimum sizes of frame members and minimum reinforcement is adopted.
This design is safe against earthquake no doubly, however more iteration are avoided in selection of members which make
a little costly but not more than 10%. Foundations and Joint Designs are designed manually with the help of excel- design
templates made on the basis of IS 800:2007 and IS 456:2000.Client is suggested to employ supervisor in the construction
periods to ensure the quality control of works/materials within a limit. All necessary calculations; analysis results; design
outputs and structural drawings are presented in annexes. Steel Joints are so designed that the prescribed Nut/Bolt
connection or welding is capable for extreme loadings. All joint forces are under the ultimate strength of purposed
connection strength. More cost in over strength design of connections is supplementary to imperfection in welding due to
lack of good fabricators in local markets. It was assumed to skilled engineer will finishes the structural drawings and
connections.
