The document provides calculations to determine preliminary sizes for structural members in an apartment building, including a slab panel, beam, and column. For the slab, a thickness of 150mm is selected. For the beam, a section of 300x750mm is chosen. For the column supporting 10 floors, a load of 2269.69kN is calculated and a rectangular section of 225x900mm is selected to support this load.

Nominal cover required is 30 mm Cover is Hence selected cover is 30 mm. 30 mm
IstructE For continuous beams,
Manual Span / Effective depth = 15 Table.4.0 Span of the beam = 9625 mm Hence, Effective depth = 9625 / 15 = 642 mm Assume T 25 bars are provided as main reinforcements and T 10 for shear links, Hence beam depth is = 642 + 30 + 10 + 25/2 mm = 694.5 mm Hence select a 750 mm deep beam.
Breadth of the beam is governing the practical consideration
of simply fitting all the reinforcement in to the section while avoiding the congestion.

COLUMNS Consider column type C3 as shown in Figure 3.1. This column is subjected to loaded from 10 Apartment floor levels, Pool, Garden floor level, MEP slab level(machine room) and Roof slab level.
Ultimate load on apartment floor slabs can be calculated as
follows.
Assume 150 mm thick slab,
Self weight of the slab = 0.15 x 24 = 3.6 kN/m2 Finishes = 2.0 kN/m2 Total dead load (gk) = 3.6+2+1 = 6.6 kN/m2 Imposed load (qk) = 2.0 kN/m2 Hence design load = 1.4 Gk+1.6Qk = 12.44 kN/m2
Ultimate load on pool and roof garden floor slab can be
found as follows.
Assume 150 mm thick slab,
Self weight of the slab = 0.15 x 24 = 3.6 kN/m2 Finishes = 2.5 kN/m2 Services = 0.5 kN/m2 Total dead load (Gk) = 6.6 kN/m2 Live load = 3.0 kN/m2 Total imposed load (Qk) = 3.0 kN/m2 Hence design load = 1.4 Gk+1.6Qk = 14.04 kN/m2

Ultimate load on MEP floor level (machine room) can be
calculated as follows.
Assume 250 mm thick slab,
Self weight of the slab = 0.25 x 24 = 6.0 kN/m2 Finishes = 1.5 kN/m2 Total dead load (Gk) = 6.0+1.5 = 7.5 kN/m2 Live load = 3.0 kN/m2 Total imposed load (Qk) = 3.0 kN/m2 Hence design load = 1.4 Gk+1.6Qk = 15.3 kN/m2
Ultimate load on roof slab floor level can be found as
follows.
Assume 175 mm thick slab,
Self weight of the slab = 0.175 x 24 = 4.2 kN/m2 Finishes = 2.5 kN/m2 Total dead load (Gk) = 4.2+2.5 = 6.7 kN/m2 Total imposed load (Qk) = 1.5 kN/m2 Hence design load = 1.4 Gk+1.6Qk = 11.78 kN/m2
Tributary area for loading on column C 3 = 3.956 x 2.772
= 10.97 m2 Hence Ultimate load on the column = [(10x12.44) + 14.04 + 15.03 + 11.78] x 10.97 kN = 1815.75 kN (Reduction in total distributed imposed floor loads with IstructE number of stories is not considered.) Manual To compensate the effects of eccentricity ultimate load is Clause 3.7.4 multiplied by 1.25 Hence design load on column = 1815.75 x1.25 = 2269.69kN.
