1. INTRODUCTION
The project consists of high-rise buildings By STATUS LUXE, of 69.94m (Approx.) high above the Ground Level (Stilt floor), having 3 ‐ Storey Basement + 1 Ground floor + 22
Residential Floors + Terrace.

The involvement of the structural design team has provided a challenge in accommodating the architectural form that has developed to an advanced stage with little structural
input. As a result, some elements of the architecture may need to be reviewed by architect to fit in the requirements.

From our understanding, the following schemes have been worked out considering the premium tower and the flexibility given to the end user. This flexibility is obtained by
proposed Beam-slab with shear wall structural system for super structure & flat slab with shear wall with periphery beam-column system for sub- structure or Beam-Slab
with Shear Wall System, as basements that will eliminate all internal beams& appropriate for the services too. Looking to the Client’s requirement/Demand Beam-Slab with
Conventional RC System has been considered for Sub-Structure.

The Structure is analysed with all the relevant code of practice as per Indian Standard codal provision & considering the appropriate safety parameters some of the
international code of practice will also be due marked where Indian codes are silent or step back.

2. FOREWORD

4. STRUCTURAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

A. GENERAL
The structural scheme of the building will be of cast in situ reinforced concrete (RC). The structure consists of cast in situ RCC shear walls, columns, beams and slabs.

B. VERTICAL LOAD PATH

The vertical gravity loads are carried by the RC slab ‐ beam system and transferred to the load bearing structural RCC walls and columns. The floor slabs are supported by the
beams and eventually by RC shear walls and columns in the tower areas.
The complete load bearing RC structure is going directly down to the ground floor level and further to the foundation and will bring all the vertical loads down to the
foundation. The load bearing structure is continuous from top to bottom and has no structural interruptions.

C. LATERAL LOAD PATH

The lateral load resisting system is formed by cast in ‐ situ RC shear walls, columns with perimeter & internal beams frames in x and y plan directions which are located inside
the building in required configuration. The shear walls & Columns shall be designed and detailed as per IS: 13920 - 2016 and are considered as ductile shear walls & Columns.

The RC slab - beams provides continuity and connection with the shear walls and columns which are able to transfer in-plane shear forces as well as overturning moments to
the lateral load resisting system. The slab behaves as a rigid floor diaphragm as the in plane stiffness is much high, however to address the actual in plane distortion the
diaphragms are model as semi-rigid configuration using Membrane or Shell-Thin formulation.

Due to the large stiffness of the shear walls they are resisting almost all the lateral forces in addition of gravity loads and therefore the total system as such shall be classified
as a building with ductile shear walls. As per IS: 1893 - 2016 (PART-I) the Response Reduction factor of the lateral load resisting system of this building shall be taken as R =
4.0 (Ductile Shear Walls).

9. GEOTECHNICAL PARAMETERS
The Geotechnical Investigation has been carried out by K.C.T. Consultancy Services, Report No. ST/23/03/17739 and the report has been submitted to us. Based on this report:
-
• We are considering the Allowable Bearing Capacity for the Foundation as Avg.510kN/m2 for Avg.50mm settlement.
• The ground water table has been not encountered up to 20m. Depth below ground level.
• The modulus of sub-grade reaction is considered from geo-technical report mentioned on Pg No.52 considering Zoned Spring Approach.
• Differential Settlement between the Tower and Non-Tower shall be limited to the H/500 as per IS: 1904-1986. I case of the value exceeding the permissible one as
prescribed by Code the relevant structural members will be design for the Additional Moments & Shear Forces caused by the Sinking of Support with respect to each-
other.
The Foundation System for the Towers have been proposed as Raft Foundation with Uniform Thickness and Localized thickening where required. For Non-Tower
Area/Columns/Walls, Isolated Slopes/Pad Footings have been proposed.
Soil Retention System has been considered as Diaphragm Walls (As Permanent Structure) at all Sides which have been design by specialized Consultant (By Other).

10. MODELLING/ANALYTICAL/DESIGN APPROACH

[Link] MODEL
The Purpose of Modelling of building follow a simple approach, which reflects the distribution of mass and stiffness properties to properly account for all significant inertial
forces under seismic actions and deformation shapes. Analytical model of a building reflect the true behaviour of its members as well of the whole structure. Modelling
adopt lumped modelling that is frame element modelling, distributed modelling that is finite element modelling or a combination of the two.

• A comprehensive 3‐dimensional finite element analysis of the superstructure shall be carried out with ETABS software tool using ultimate version 2019 or latest edition.

• For foundation depending upon geotechnical criteria, a series of combined footing and raft foundation shall be proposed below tower columns/walls and isolated footing
for the columns in non‐tower area. Finite Element Analysis for same shall be carried out in SAFE 2016 or latest edition software tool.

• Buildings shall be assessed for a combination of gravity and lateral loads, and detailed appropriately

• For the design of various structural elements like foundations, columns, beams, slab etc. in ‐ house developed spreadsheets & Programs will be used wherever applicable.

B. APPROACH FOR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

After preliminary sizing of various structural members, a computer model of the structure is generated for carrying out computer analysis to analyse the effects of vertical
and lateral loads that are likely to be imposed on the structure.

FEM computer software ETABS will be used for the structural analysis of the building. Geometrical dimensions, member properties and member-node connectivity are
modelled in the FEM computer program to generate the simplified analytical model and the following structural analysis will be performed:

• Equivalent Linear Static Analysis (ELF Procedure)

• Second-Order-Delta Analysis (Elastic Softening Analysis)
• Modal Analysis (Inherent Dynamic Configuration of Structure)
• Linear Dynamic Analysis (Response Spectrum Analysis)

The seismic analysis shall account for torsion effects, including accidental torsion. The accidental torsion has been taken into account by applying eccentricity to all the floor
diaphragms in x-direction and y-direction with eccentricity ratio of 0.05. As the diaphragm have been considered as Semi-rigid, the eccentricity ratio will be considered at
every nodes on the analytical model itself.

Page 12 of 30
C. APPROACH FOR FLOOR &BEAM ANALYSIS& MODELLING
Several configurations like flat plate, flat slab, slabs supported by beams etc. have been investigated and a brief synopsis of the results were presented. The best option is
considered to be the option that is closest to delivering the architectural intent whilst enabling a rational structural solution. Conventional Floor system, i.e.: slab supported
by beams have been considered.

To considered In-plane stiffness of floor slabs, the Slabs will be Modelled as Shell-Thin Definition with Semi-Rigid Diaphragm to Considered the Poisson Expansion and Floor
Distortion to address Interaction between Wall Elements and Slab Elements. For Simplified Approach, the Stair Slab will be modelled using Membrane Definition with One-
way Load Distribution. Automated General Mesh/Rectangular Mesh Will be used for load distribution over the supporting elements.

The Beams will be modelled as 1-D frame element where the depth of beam is limited to 600mm. As and where required to control the dynamic behaviour of structure (mode
shapes/modal behaviour) the beam will be modelled as 2-D element to capture the realistic solid element. The beams those having the depth equal to or more than 750mm
shall be modelled as Line element or Area element depending to achieve the Structural Performance. The beam Elements those are modelled as area elements will be detailed
as a column with all face reinforcement considering the Axial force & Bi-axial Moments along with both two direction of shear force. Point locations where, The 1-D Line
Elements meets to the 2-D Wall Elements, the beam will be embedded into the wall elements by 2xDepth of Beam or 1000mm Which-ever is More to generate the Moment
Continuity.

D. APPROACH FOR FOUNDATION ANALYSIS& MODELLING

Conventional building design is most often performed based on the assumptions that the building is fixed to the ground at its base and the ground itself is rigid. These
assumptions are not strictly true but are often considered to be acceptable and conservative. The flexibility of the foundation system, including both the foundation’s
structural components and the supporting soil, can have a significant effect on the building’s dynamic properties and its overall response. For the Modelling of Foundation
on Grade/Soil, Vertical Soil Spring will be modelled based of Modulus of Subgrade Reaction recommended by Geo-Tech Consultant. Passive Resistance from the Basement

Page 13 of 30
Walls will be neglected in Analytical Model. As the Foundation Base having much in-plane stiffness because of its geometry it will not deform in its own plane, also there is
high frictional resistance between soil surface and foundation base thus foundation will be restrain against the lateral translation & Rotation about Vertical Axis. Foundation
will be analyzed considering the degree of freedom of Vertical Traslation & Rotation abount two planner axis.

To meet with design demands, if needed the foundation will be modelled as Shell-Thin or Shell-Thick formulation with Vertical Soil Springs (represent flexibility of soil) as well
as translational Soil Springs (represents the frictional resistance between soil & base) along with the edge restrain against lateral translations (represent passive soil resistance
from basement walls at base) to capture the more in depth realistic half-space soil-structure interaction.

E. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Design of the RCC residential structure shall be carried out by limit state method conforming to IS: 456‐2000. Design of all the structural elements of the residential complex
shall be based on its three dimensional (3D) analysis results. Individual member section of this space (3D) frame structure shall be designed for the section forces generated
under various load combinations.

Main Reinforcement provided in design of member will be of grade Fe500D or Fe550 (with minimum yield strength=500 N/mm2) and Shear Reinforcement will be of grade
Fe415 for Shear Walls Design Only (with minimum yield strength = 415N/mm2) as per IS: 1786‐2008.

For RC slab, IS: 456 - 2000 (limit state method) would be used for the long term deflection check and design.

Ductile detailing norms will be adopted to make the building earthquake resistant in accordance with the relevant Indian Standard Codes. Since the building is in Zone III, the
recommendations of IS: 13920–2016 shall be applicable.

For Linear Dynamic Wind Analysis, as per clause 7.1 of IS: 875 (Part‐III) ‐2015,Building and closed structures with a height to minimum lateral dimension ratio of more than
about 5.0Building and closed structures whose natural frequency in the first mode is less than 1.0Hz. Any building or structure which does not satisfy either of the above two
criteria shall be examined for dynamic effects of wind.

14. TEMPERATURE LOADS (THERMAL LOADS)

Temperature variation produces stresses in the structure, as it expands and contracts with the gain and loss of thermal energy. In the structures, with large geometrical
dimensions, the effect of temperature may be important in the behaviour and final design of particular slabs & beams for local thermal effect. Due to cyclic deformation–
between day time and nights, and between winter and summer the effect on the durability of structure and the supported finishes may be significant to produce fatigue.

Page 19 of 30
The structure will be analysed for the following temperature variation condition. Podium, roof and other similar exposed slabs to the sunlight shall be checked for the uniform
seasonal temperature variation +/‐20.0 degrees, based on a maximum temperature of 45.0 degrees and a minimum temperature of 25.0 degrees in summer and maximum
temperature of 30.0 degrees and a minimum temperature of 10.0 degrees in Winter, in accordance with as per clause 2.0 of IS: 875 - 1987 (Part 5). The ambient temperature
will be maintain during the concreting will be approx. around 25.0 degrees to 30.0 degrees have been recommended.

15. CRACK WIDTH (FOR WATER RETAINING STRUCTURES)

Whenever live load (LL*) is combined with seismic load, the appropriate part of live load as specified in IS: 1893 ‐ 2016 shall be used both for evaluating earthquake effect
and for combined load effects used in such combination.
Wind load and Seismic load shall not be considered to act simultaneously. The effect of both the forces shall be considered separately.
Load combination is necessary to ensure the required safety and economy in the design of structure. It considers the probability of individual loads acting together, the
disposition in relation to other loads and severity of stresses or deformations caused by combinations of various loads. Whichever combination produces worst effect in
building, foundation and structural member shall be adopted in analysis and design.

*Live loads for Designing of columns, shear walls and foundations will be reduced as allowed by IS: 875 Part 2.
*Dynamic wind load for Along and Across responses will be considered simultaneously in Design.
*Preset P-Delta Option Will be used with 1.2DL+0.5LL in ETABS Definition and the same will be used as DL+LL±EQ/±WL for Load Combination

17. SERVICABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Vertical Deflection:
As per Clause 23.2 of IS: 456 - 2000,
The deflection due to all loads including effects of temperature, creep, shrinkage and measured from as‐cast level of the supports of floors, roofs and all other horizontal
members shall not normally exceed SPAN/250.

The deflection including effects of temperature, creep and shrinkage occurring after erection of partitions and the application of finishes shall not normally exceed SPAN/350or
20mm whichever is less.
Lateral Deflection:
As per Clause 5.4.1 of IS: 16700 - 2017, the lateral deflection or Diaphragm Drift of the structure under the lateral forces shall be limited as follows,
• For Wind Loads ‐‐ H/500 (For 20 year Return Period of Serviceability State)
• For Earthquake Loads ‐‐ Storey Drift <= H/250 (For 50 year Return Period of Design State)

The Serviceability criteria will be check using the ULS model, if found exceeding the codified values then only the SLS model will be generated to check the relevant parameters.
Structural stability under gravity load is equally important as placing of structural elements having different axial stiffness causes the differential elastic shortening in high-rise
building. To ensure the flexibility of structure the stability co-efficient shall be limited to 0.2. This check becomes more important if the lateral sway of building under gravity
load exceeds H/1000.

Stability of Structure:
The minimum Factor of Safety against overturning, sliding and hydrostatic uplift shall be as per relevant Indian Standard Codes.

As per Clause 20.1 of IS: 456 - 2000, the stability of a structure as a whole against overturning shall be ensured so that the restoring moment shall be not less than the sum of
1.2 times the maximum overturning moment due to the characteristic dead load and 1.4 times the maximum overturning moment due to the characteristic imposed loads. In
cases where dead load provides the restoring moment, only 0.9 times the characteristic dead load shall be considered. Restoring moment due to imposed loads shall be
ignored.

As per Clause 20.2 of IS: 456 - 2000, the structure shall have a factor against sliding of not less than 1.4 under the most adverse combination of the applied characteristic
forces. In this case only 0.9 times the characteristic dead load shall be taken into account.

18. DESIGN LIFE OF STRUCTURE
As it has been mentioned in the main body of the DBR report, if the code requirements are followed automatically the requirements of 50-year design life is incorporated in
the design. For the wind and seismic load cases, for more years of design life loading can be accommodated but other issues still has to be considered. These include the
following:

• Durability requirements: this could be in the form of: Enhance Concrete Performance by using especially designed concrete mix to improve the concrete quality and durability
to protect reinforcement in the concrete. Implement other measures to improve durability of concrete to protect reinforcement from corrosion. These measures included
concrete admixtures and coatings etc. Extended testing would be required to come up with a proper mix and understand the environmental conditions on site and within the
ground.
• Installation a Cathodic Protection system during the construction to significantly reduce the corrosion of the reinforcement in the concrete.
• Structural Design with Repair & Strengthening: The structural design to be carried out and detailed in such a way that there are redundancies in the structural system and
all the elements including major elements can be maintained, repaired, strengthened, or replaced if necessary (but not necessarily for the major elements). Those elements
which cannot be replaced should be design with a higher factor of safety that potential reductions in capacity could still not impair their structural functionality to support the
intended service loads. This could have cost implication, but such a decision would be made by assessing time and cost for the replacement of such elements as compared to
the increased cost due to over sizing of that element at the start.
• Preparation of Method Statements Repair and Strengthening: it can be developed as part of the tender documents that the contractors should follow.
• Implementation of an inspection regime to implement necessary repairs and maintenance requirements such as mentioned below:
• Visual inspection: Yearly to identify the overall performance of the structure.
• Principal Inspection: Every 6 years to be conducted within touching distance to identify cracks, deformation, corrosion etc. where non-destructive or semi-destructive testing
might be needed. The above is related to Structural Engineering work. Please also note that the above procedure is not. A similar approach should also be considered for
Architectural (finishes), MEP equipment or Façade of the Temple by having a regime of inspection and maintenance would be required. The design of the MEP system should
be carried out in such a way to allow for future replace of the components which have a specific service life. There should be access chambers, shafts and services walkways
provided as part of the architectural design (or making sure access to such elements are without hindrance) which can be opened for inspection and potentially large enough
for people able to walk inside them both for inspection and repair/replacement work. MEP systems should be designed in a loop system that each point can be reached from
two sides, or redundancies put in place as part of the design. Please also note that provisions and space should be allowed for monitoring stations and operations rooms
where all the information received from the instrumentation are gathered. The system should be such designed that remotely the MEP system can be controlled and switched
off.
• Specialists to get the necessary input and associated cost for some of points in the introduction, Structural Consultants needs the following specialists to be appointed
by the client:
Page 25 of 30
 • Specialist concrete material and testing
• Cathodic Protection Specialist
• As mentioned earlier for Architectural, MEP/Façade systems, other specialists are needed.

19. ADDRESSING NON-STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

NSEs in tall buildings shall be protected against the effects of Acceleration-sensitive NSEs, Deformation-sensitive NSEs, and Acceleration-and-deformation-sensitive NSEs.
Major NSEs shall be protected based on engineered calculations as per relevant clauses of IS-16700:2017. Mechanical equipment those having located at top height of the
structure and having certain operating frequency will be check for the Acceleration – sensitivity as per IS:16700.
The Non-Structural Walls like masonry walls/partition walls will be check for the Displacement – sensitivity as per relevant codal provision. Stiffness Contributions of Non-
Structural Elements will not be considered for Analysis and Design of Principal Lateral Load Resisting System. In general, Acceleration sensitivity is performed to measure the
additional seismic demand imposed on the equipment and accordingly its connections and supporting system have been designed, whereas for Displacement sensitivity is
performed to measure the relative displacement between Structural members and Non-Structural Elements. GSDMA Guidelines on Non-Structural Elements explicitly explain
the design principal and execution approach. The same will be considered wherever applicable to address the Non-Structural Elements.

20. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MONITORING DEFORMATIONS IN BUILDINGS

All tall buildings in Seismic Zone V and tall buildings exceeding 150 m in Seismic Zones III and IV shall be instrumented with tri-axial accelerometers to capture translational
and twisting behaviour of buildings during strong earthquake shaking. Buildings over 150 m in height may be instrumented with anemometers and accelerometers to measure
wind speed, acceleration and direction on top of the buildings. Permanent settlement markers (at corners and centre) should be provided at raft top level and referenced to
a permanent benchmark. Records of settlement should be maintained till completion of the building and preferably even after [Link] or Piled-raft shall be
instrumented for monitoring long-term pressure imposed by soil on the raft, at appropriate number (at least 5) of pressure pads below the raft. Alternatively, piles can be
instrumented with strain gauges at their top to measure the load on them.
