Structural Analysis and Design of Multistoreyed Commercial Building

Abstract

The main aim of the project is to structurally analyze and design a seismic resistant multistoreyed building. A building has to perform many functions satisfactorily. Amongst these functions are the utility of the building for the intended use and occupancy, structural safety, fire safety; and compliance with hygienic sanitation and ventilation and daylight standards. The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirement prescribed for each of the above functions. As per the recent following of the Gorkha Earthquake that occurred in 25th April, 2015, the construction of multistoreyed building has been of major concern. So, proper selection of the building site is required. The analysis and design of our building is based on increasing the seismic capacity through proper configuration of the structure as well as proper designing and ductile detailing of structural elements. The project is commenced within the above-mentioned criteria. Also, the strength and serviceability criteria are fulfilled. The final output of the project is object in the form of detailed drawings.
