Structural Analysis of
Residential Building

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the structural analysis and design of the proposed Residential
Building. The analysis and design have been based on the prevailing codes that are
in practice in Nepal, the National Building code of Nepal and the IS code where
applicable. This report consists of the design procedures adopted, the assumptions
made, the inputs made in the design and the design output. The basic aim of the
structural design is to build a structure, which is safe, fulfilling the intended purpose
during its estimated life span, economical in terms of initial and maintenance cost,
durable and also maintaining a good aesthetic appearance. A building is considered
to be structurally sound, if the individual elements and the building as a whole satisfy
the criteria for strength, stability and serviceability and in seismic areas additional
criteria for ductility and energy absorption capabilities. The overall building must be
strong enough to transfer all loads through the structure to the ground without
collapsing or losing structural integrity by rupture of the material at the critical sections,
by transformation of the whole or parts into mechanisms or by instability. Failure of
one structural element (e.g., due of explosions or collisions) should not cause
progressive collapse of the entire structure. Such a building will normally have
alternate load paths or mechanisms to transfer loads safely to the foundation.
Nepal is located in the boundary of two colliding tectonic plates, namely, the Indian
Plate (Indo Australian Plate) and the Tibetan Plate (Eurasian Plate). The Indian Plate
is constantly moving under the Tibetan Plate causing many minor and major
earthquakes in this region. As a result, Nepal has witnessed many major as well as
minor earthquakes during the past. Records show that around 19 major earthquakes
have shaken Nepal since then. The 1833 A.D. earthquake, 1934 A.D Bihar-Nepal
earthquake and 2015 Gorkha Earthquake were the most destructive ones in the
history of Nepal.
Dead Loads
Dead loads are assumed to be produced by slab, beams, columns, walls, parapet
walls, staircase, plasters and mortars, Floor finish. The weight of building materials are
taken as per IS 875(Part 1)-1987).

For the purpose of analysis, seismic forces are applied in the model of the building in
ETABS. Hence, the manual calculations of seismic weight, base shear and the
seismic forces have not been shown. However, the ETABS output for the Seismic
Weight, Base Shear and Seismic Forces in each storey diaphragm are as follows.

EQ-x Seismic X Story4 Base 0.14583 1.0404
Story Drift
Story Drift as per NBC105: 2020
NBC 105:2020 states that the ratio of the inter-storey deflection to the corresponding
story height shall not exceed: 0.025 at ultimate limit state and 0.006 at serviceability
limit state. The deflection shall be obtained by using the effective stiffness properties
of the components.
For Ultimate Limit State:
For Serviceability Limit State:
The graph shows that the building satisfies the codal requirement as per NBC105:
2020 and hence increase in stiffness is not necessary.
II. Analysis
The loads calculated are applied in the modeled building. Besides from the dead and
live loads, the probable seismic loads are also taken care of as Nepal is categorized
amongst seismically active zones. Moreover, the building itself carries high importance
and the seismic force consideration is of topmost [Link] consideration is
given in analysis of the building following standard theories of structures and relevant
codes of practice.
A three-dimensional linear static analysis has been carried out using the standard
software ETABS. The Structure is assumed to be fixed at the Plinth level. The brick
wall is considered as the filler wall only. The beams are modeled as rectangular
beams. The flange effect of the beams has been neglected. Center to center
dimension of the structure has been considered in the analysis. The rigid end effect
has also been considered n the analysis.
Following load cases and combinations were used for the analysis of the structural
components of the building.
Load Cases
Following loads have been considered in the analysis of the building as per IS
456-2000 and NBC105:2020
1. Dead Load (DL)
2. Live load (LL)
3. Earthquake load in +ve X-direction (EQPX)
4. Earthquake load in –ve X-direction (EQNX)
5. Earthquake load in +ve Y-direction (EQPY)
6. Earthquake load in –ve Y-direction (EQNY)
Load Combination

Following load combinations have been adopted as per NBC 105:2020
