ABSTRACT
This project will mainly focus on building concepts with earthquake-resistant design and will be
entitled “SEISMIC ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF HOSPITAL RCC
BUILDING”. We will perform manual calculations for the design of critical members. The
analysis, design, and detailing of other structural members will be done using ETABS, and the
data will be included here. The Equivalent Static Method will be used for all serviceability limit
state (SLS) calculations regardless of the building characteristics. For ultimate limit state (ULS),
the Equivalent Static Method will be used when at least one of the following criteria is satisfied:
This report will include all the works related to the analysis, design, drawing, and structural
detailing of an earthquake-resistant hospital building. We will mainly focus on the structural
analysis and design of the building structure. Material properties will be assumed as per common
practice, and soil bearing capacity will also be suitably assumed. The design of elements will be
done using the limit state design philosophy, which is economical, safe, and reliable. The
structural analysis design software to be used in this project will be ETABS.

An Introductory chapter in this paper will describe brief information of the Project in terms of
the background of this study, Problem statement, objectives and project scope.
1.1 Background
A building is a structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place,
such as a house or factory. Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes and functions, and have
been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available,
to weather conditions, to land prices, ground conditions, specific uses and aesthetic reasons. At
the primitive age people use to live under dense trees or cave as shelter. Human have made
prominent development in this fundamental need at this time. Today human is in seek of shelter
that not only provides protection but also is safe comfortable and aesthetically beautiful.
With the increase in population, advance technologies, changing lifestyle and prominent scarcity
of land, the demand of multistory buildings with larger span and sizes is soaring day by day.
Nowadays due to different incident of earthquake and increasing knowledge of house owner, the
trend of building which is seismically safe is preferred
The concept of earthquake resistant design is that the building should be designed to resist the
forces which arise due to Design Basis Earthquake, with only minor damages and the forces,
which arises due to Maximum Considered Earthquake with some accepted structural damages
7
but no collapse. The project report possesses modeling output (ETABS 2020), analysis results,
load calculations, structural drawings and sample calculations of various structural elements and
their detailing.
This introduction serves as a gateway into understanding the multifaceted dimensions of seismic-
resilient hospital design in Nepal. It navigates through the intricate interplay of geological,
structural, and societal factors that shape the seismic vulnerability and resilience of hospital
infrastructure in the Nepalese context. Moreover, it sets the stage for delving into the
foundational principles, methodologies, and considerations underpinning the seismic analysis
and structural design processes tailored specifically for multistory hospitals in this seismic-prone
region.
Seismic Vulnerability: Multistory hospitals in Nepal face significant seismic risk due to the
country's location in a tectonically active region prone to earthquakes.
Structural Integrity: The structural design of these hospitals must withstand seismic
forces to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and critical medical equipment.
Community Impact: Hospital resilience is vital for community well-being, as these
facilities serve as essential lifelines during and after earthquakes.
Design Challenges: Designing multistory hospitals to meet seismic standards while
considering factors like local building materials, construction practices, and site conditions
8
poses unique challenges. The project is not concerned with the existing soil condition of the
locality however, an approximate assumption of 100KN/m2 safe bearing capacity is
considered.
Recovery Planning: Effective post-earthquake recovery planning is crucial to ensure rapid
restoration of medical services and minimize disruptions to patient care.
Resource Constraints: Limited resources, technical expertise, and regulatory enforcement
further complicate the implementation of seismic-resilient design measures.
Addressing these challenges requires a holistic approach that integrates seismic hazard
assessment, innovative structural design, community engagement, and comprehensive post-
earthquake recovery planning to enhance the earthquake resilience of multistory hospitals in
Nepal.
[Link] Review
Every engineering design is the outcome of the past experiences and observations. It is necessary
to justify the result of the analysis and design properly with reference to the preexisting standard
results or the past experiences. Structural design is the methodical investigation of the stability,
strength and rigidity of structures. The basic objective in structural analysis and design is to
produce a structure capable of resisting all applied loads without failure during its service life.
10
Safe design of structures can be achieved by applying the proper knowledge of structural
mechanics and past experiences. It is needed to provide authentic reference to the design made
i.e. the design should follow the provision made in codes of practices. Use of codes also keeps
the designer to the safe side in case the structure fails within its service life. For this design,
certain references and criteria are taken from the literatures described below: -
1. IS: 875- 1987 Code of Practice for Design Loads (Other than Earthquake) for Buildings and
Structures:
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, and compliance with
hygienic, sanitation, ventilation and daylight standards. The design of the building is dependent
11
upon the minimum requirements prescribed for each of the above functions. The minimum
requirements to the structural safety of the building are being covered in this code by way of
laying down minimum designed load which have to be assumed for dead loads, imposed load,
snow load and other external loads, the structure is required to bear. Strict conformity to loading
standard recommended in this code claims to ensure the safety of the buildings and thereby
reduced the hazards to life and property caused by unsafe structures as well as eliminates the
wastage caused by the assumption of unnecessary heavy loading.
2. IS 1893: 2016 Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures (General Provision and
Building):
This code deals with the assessment of seismic loads on various structures and earthquake
resistant design of buildings. Its basic provisions are applicable to buildings; elevated structures;
industrial and stack like structures; bridges; concrete masonry and earth dams; embankment and
retaining structures and other structures. Temporary supporting structures like scaffoldings etc.
need not be considered for the seismic loads. It is concerned with the methods of determining
seismic loads and the effects of various irregularities in a building can have upon its seismic
response. This standard does not deal with the construction features relating to earthquake
resistant design in building and other structure.
This standard covers the requirements for designing and detailing of monolithic reinforced
concrete buildings so as to give them adequate toughness and ductility to resist severs earthquake
shock without collapse. The provision for the reinforced concrete construction given in the code
is specifically to the monolithic reinforced concrete construction. For precast and pre stressed
concrete members, its use is limited only if they can provide the same level of ductility as that of
monolithic reinforced concrete construction during or after earthquake. The code includes the
detailing rules for flexural members, column and frame member subjected to bending and axial
loads and shear walls.
12
4. IS 456: 2000 Plain and Reinforced Concrete – Code of Practice
This Indian Standard code of practice deals with the general structural use of plain and
reinforced concrete based on Limit State Design Method. According to the code, plain concrete
structures referred to those structures where reinforcement if provided is ignored for
determination of the strength of the structure. This code does not cover special requirements for
the structures like bridges, chimneys, hydraulic structures, earthquake resistance buildings etc.
but allows the use of separate code for those structures in conjunction with this code.

and “slip.” Earthquakes occur most often along geologic faults, narrow zones where rock masses
move in relation to one another.
Earthquakes are among the many natural calamities that have caused devastation to properties
and claimed thousands of lives over the years. In fact, according to statistics, 50 to 80
earthquakes occur every single day and about 2000 each year. When an earthquake occurs, it’s
difficult to tell the amount of destruction it would cause in its wake. Apart from devastating
properties and buildings, earthquakes can trigger tsunami that can uproot populations or lead to
loss of lives. Earthquakes kill many people because they have no warning signs and find people
unprepared.
The earth’s crust is composed of solid core, mantle (consists of molten magma) and tectonic
plates. Tectonic plates are constantly moving due to convection currents triggered by molten lava
inside the earth crust. This constant movement leads to either the plates sliding against each other
or drifting away from each other. These interactions and drifting apart of tectonic plates
underneath the earth are perceived by living organisms, humans included.
The constant movements have even led to the formation of mountains and valleys. When these
plates move against each other, there is a point where they interact. In geological terminology,
this meeting point is known as fault line. This fault line is sometimes known as fracture in the
earth’s crust. At the, moment the plates begin to move, the potential energy, commonly known as
stored energy, is released from the meeting point, known as hypocenter. With the movement of
these tectonic plates, energy is formed and can be released once these plates meet in the so-called
fault line. The intensity of this released energy will also determine that of the earthquake. One
can feel the earth’s shaking once energy is released from earth’s crust. For earthquakes to occur,
energy is released from a focal point. This point is called the epicenter and usually found at
shallow depths from the earth’s surface. From the epicenter, seismic waves are produced and
sent out to all directions.

Nepal is dominated by the Himalaya – the highest, youngest and seismically very active
mountain range. Hence building construction in Nepal should consider the seismic loading. In
Nepal, design of buildings is mainly based upon the guidelines provided by the Nepal National
Building Codes: 000- 1994. But in most of the cases NBC refers to the Indian Standard Building
Codes and other foreign building codes and permit the use of such codes. The design based on
the foreign codes must fulfill the requirement that the finished structure must meet or exceed
both qualitatively and quantitatively the requirements of NBC:000- 1994. Hence for this project,
analysis and design of the given building is aimed to be done using Indian Standard Codes of
Practice and design aids (Special Publications of Bureau of Indian Standard) which follows the
limit state design method. Methodology is described as:

3.2.1 Slab
Preliminary design of slab was done as per the deflection criteria as directed by code Clause
23.2.1 of [IS 456:2000] and the behavior of floor slab as rigid diaphragm in earthquake resistant
design based on IS 1893:2016. 15 mm cover was provided and the grade of the concrete used in
design is [Link] preliminary design of the slab was done as follows:
From architectural drawing, find the slab with largest span (lx*ly),
Where,
lx= The smallest of the two dimensions of the slab
ly= The largest of the two dimensions of the slab

From Deflection Control criteria span(l)/(effective depth(d) )≤αβγδλ
α=26(For Fe500)
γ=1
Hence,
deff=(span(l_x))/αβγδλ
Critical span was selected which is the maximum shorter span among the entire slab element.
The amount of reinforcement will be varied slab to slab.

3.2.2 Beam
Preliminary design of beam was performed after the design of slab. It was done as per deflection
criteria as directed by code Clause 23.2.1 of [IS 456: 2000] and ductility criteria of ACI code. 25
mm cover was provided and the grade of concrete used in design is M20. Below mentioned
Figure 3 shows the Transfer loads from beams to column.

the building (l).
where,
20
β= span factor =1 for largest span less than 10m
γ= 1.4
δ= 1
deff =(span(l_x))/αβγδλ
A minimum clear cover of 25mm was taken for main bar of diameter of 12mm, then we get the
overall depth of beam as:
Overall depth of beam (D) = Effective depth+0.5*Diameter of main bar +Clear cover
Load calculations:
Overall Depth of Slab (D) = Effective Depth + 0.5* Diameter of main bar+ Clear Cover
(=25mm).
According to the Ductility code, Spacing of Stirrups in beam should not exceed d/4 or 8 times
the diameter of minimum size of bar adopted and should not be less than 100 mm. It is logical to
use d/4 as spacing as per the construction practice in Nepal.

3.2.3 Column
It was performed after the preliminary design of the flexural member because the loads are
transmitted to footing through the column, in which the load of beams and slab also counts. It
was done from the assessment of approximate factored gravity loads and live loads coming up to
22
the critical section. The cover provided is 25 mm and the grade of the concrete used in the
column design is [Link] transfer mechanism from column to footing.
The size was increased by 25% in design to compensate the possible eccentric loading and
earthquake loads. Live load was decreased according to the IS 975:1978 to figure out the load
acting in it. To provide the internal aesthetics from architecture point of view Squarer Column
was adopted but the size and shape would vary as per the requirement for the analysis, design
and aesthetic value.

After the probable loads has been estimated, preliminary design was carried out to determine the
approximate shape and size of structural members from deflection control criteria and also
moment criteria provided in codes for beams, slabs and taking load from tributary area in case of
column. And as a result size of beam, column, slab, and footing was also determined. Thus,
Modeling of the structure was done using the software ETAB 2020.
35
Analysis of the structure was also carried out using ETAB 2020 which analyses the structure
based on the Finite Element Method. The results of design obtained from ETAB 2020 will be
also verified by comparing with manual calculation. Analysis is containing of following three
phases:
1. Before Analysis: Before analysis to be carried out all the material section such as M25
concrete is set up. Also the frame section was also set up as beam of size 250*350mm and
column of size 300mm*300mm. Mass source was also entered as load with their respective
importance factors given. In this phase we have also entered the Load patterns, also load
combination is also set up. (Wall loads, live loads)
2. During Analysis: During analysis the structure was analyzed based on the equivalent static
method.
3. After Analysis: After the analysis was completed, the base shear was displayed and also other
results are also determined. Such as:
a) Story drift,
b) Story displacement,
c) Beam column Ratios

5.1 Introduction
The building structure has following important components like footing, column, beam and slab.
Each of the components can be designed by using various methods:
Working Stress Method is the traditional method of design not only for Reinforced Concrete but
also for structural steel and timber design. The conceptual basis of the WSM assumes that the
structural material behaves in a linear elastic manner and that appropriate safety can be ensured
by suitably limiting the stresses in the material due to the presumed working loads (service
loads) on the structure. The stresses under the working loads are obtained by applying the
methods of ‘strength of materials’ like the simple bending theory. The limitations due to non-
linearity and buckling are neglected. The factor of safety in stress of steel and concrete is high.
In limit stress method, a structure is designed to withstand all load likely to act on it in the
duration of its life span so the working stress method is not safe than the limit state method.
Limit state design (LSD), also known as load and resistance factor design (LRFD), refers to a
design method used in structural engineering. A limit state is a condition of a structure beyond
which it no longer fulfills the relevant design criteria. The condition may refer to a degree of
loading or other actions on the structure, while the criteria refer to structural integrity, fitness for
use, durability or other design requirements.
48
The object of design based on limit state concept is to achieve an acceptable probability that a
structure will not become unserviceable in each life time for the use for which it is intended i.e. it
will not reach a limit state. Thus this method is designed as a method which limits the structure
usefulness of the material of the structure up to a certain load at which acceptable limit of safety
and serviceability are applied so that the failure of structure does not occur. The most important
of these limit state which must be examined in design are as below:
a) Limit state of collapse
b) Limit state of serviceability
The structure is designed for limit state of collapse: flexure, limit state of collapse: shear, limit
state of collapse: torsion, limit state of collapse: compression. The structure shall be designed to
resist all these forces. The resistance offered by the structure shall not be less than designed
value and that designed value shall be based on load combinations (IS 456:2000). This state
corresponds to the maximum load carrying capacity. Violation of collapse limits state implies
failure in the sense that a clearly defined limit state of usefulness has been exceeded. However, it
does not mean complete collapse. Limit state of collapse deals with the safety of structure.
Limit state of serviceability deals with control on deflection, cracking, vibration and corrosion.
This method corresponds to a development of excessive deformation and is used for checking
members in whom magnitude of deformation may limit the use of structure or its components.
Limit state of serviceability deals with the durability of structure.
To satisfy this limit state deflection, cracking and vibration must not be excessive. The limit state
of collapse can be expressed by inequality
The left hand side of above equation relates to the resistance or capacity of structure whereas the
right hand side characterizes the load acting on it. The summation sign in above equation denotes
49
the combination of load effects from different load sources for example dead load, live load,
wind load or earthquake load etc. the sufficex i” denotes types of load. In limit state design
concept of design of reinforce concrete structures, the factors µ and ƛ are called partial safety
factors.

5.2.4 Design of slab
Slabs are to be designed under limit state method by reference of IS 456:2000.
When the slab is supported in two-way direction it acts as two way supported slab.
A two-way slab is economical compared to one-way slab.
3. Calculate factored moment and shear force by considering the one-meter width of the slab

b=1000mm
Where,
55
Spacing should be more than 3d or 300mm whichever is less
8. Slab is checked for deflection shear and development length. In case of slabs (thin members),
no need of even minimum shear reinforcement. Shear due to loads always must be less than the
shear strength of concrete.
Leff = lo+t
Then αx and αy are the bending moment coefficient from table 26 (IS 456:2000) Mux and Muy
are the moments on the strips of the unit width spanning lx and ly respectively.
So lx and ly are the length of shorter span and longer span respectively.

Ductile detailing of reinforced concrete structure is done based on IS 13920:2002 for the
provision of compliance with earthquake resistant design philosophy. Detailing provisions of IS
13920:2002and IS 456:2000 are used extensively for these members to comply with the relevant
codes of practice.
The project report has been prepared in complete conformity with various stipulations in Indian
Standards, Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete IS 456:2000, Design Aids for
Reinforced Concrete to IS 456:2000(SP-16), Criteria Earthquake Resistant Design Structures
NBC 105:2020, Ductile Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Seismic
Forces- Code of Practice IS 13920:2002, Handbook on Concrete Reinforcement and. Use of
these codes have emphasized on providing sufficient safety, economy, strength and ductility
besides satisfactory serviceability requirements of cracking and deflection in concrete structures.
These codes are based on principles of Limit State of Design.
Reinforcement detailing of most of the important components has been shown in drawings. They
conformed to the relevant section of the IS codes viz. IS 456 – 2000, SP – 34 (S&T) – 1987, SP-
16 & other codes.
[Link] Slab
While using design of two-way slabs with the help of coefficients, restrained slabs are
considered to be divided in each direction into middle and edge strips. The moments apply only
to the middle strips and no further redistribution is allowed for these moments. The edge strips
have to be reinforced only with nominal minimum steel for crack control. In addition, corner
steel to resist the torsion stresses produced in these slabs are provided at discontinuous edges.
58
Thickness of the slab is decided based on span to depth ratio specified in IS456-2000. Minimum
reinforcement is 0.12% for HYSD bars and 0.15% for mild steel bars. The diameter of bar
generally used in slabs are: 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12mm and 16mm.
The maximum diameter of bar used in slab should not exceed 1/8 of the total thickness of slab.
Maximum spacing of main bar is restricted to 3 times effective depth or 300 mm whichever is
less. For distribution bars the maximum spacing is specified as 5 times the effective depth or 450
mm whichever is less.
Minimum clear cover to reinforcements in slab depends on the durability criteria and this is
specified in IS 456-2000. Generally, 15mm to 20mm cover is provided for the main
reinforcements. Alternate main bars can be cranked near support or could be bent at 1800 at the
edge and then extended at the top inside the slab. Curtailment and cranking of bars.
[Link] Beam
Beams in reinforced concrete building have two sets of steel reinforcement, viz. a) Long straight
bars (called longitudinal bars) placed along its length, and b) closed loops of small diameter steel
bars (called stirrups) placed vertically at regular intervals along its full length.
Longitudinal bars are provided to resist flexural cracking on the side of the beam that stretches.
Since both top and bottom faces stretched during strong earthquake shaking, longitudinal steel
bar are required on both faces at the ends and on the bottom face at mid-length.
59
he spacing of vertical stirrups in any portion of the beam should be determined from
calculations.
he maximum spacing of stirrups is less than half the depth of the beam. For a length of
twice the depth of the beam from the face of the column, an even more stringent spacing of
stirrups is specified, namely half the spacing mentioned in (c) above.
The laps of longitudinal bars i) should be placed away from the face the column, and ii)
should not be placed at locations where they are likely to stretch by large amounts and
yield.
At the laps, vertical stirrups should be provided at a closer spacing.
[Link] Column
Columns, the vertical members in reinforced concrete buildings, contain two types of steel
reinforcement, viz. a) long straight bars (called longitudinal bars) placed vertically along the
length, and b) closed loops of smaller diameter steel bars (called transverse ties) placed
horizontally at regular intervals along its full length.
60
he laps length should be provided only in the middle half of column and not near its top or
bottom ends. Also, only half the vertical bars in the column are to be lapped at a time in
any storey. When laps are provided, ties must be provided along the length of the lap.
[Link] Staircase
The principles generally followed in placing steel in longitudinally spanning stairs are as
follows:
The maximum positive bending moment in the span for a simply supported case is taken
as. One half of the tension steel is taken over the supports as negative steel according to
the usual practice in slabs.
Distribution steel as in the case of slabs (0.12 per cent for Fe 415 steel) is also placed on
top of the main steel in the transverse direction.
Care should be taken while detailing of corners such that the steel when pulled in tension
does not tend to pull out the concrete over the reinforcement.
[Link] Foundation
The minimum and maximum spacing should be as in slabs: 0.12 per cent for Fe 415. If the
column bars are bent and properly extended into the footing such bars can also be considered to
act with the footing. The maximum spacing is 3d or 300mm whichever is less.
The sizes of the bars selected should be small enough to develop the full development length in
the available dimension of the footing. Thus, the anchorage length Ld required, for the sizes of
the bars selected for the long and short direction, should be less than one-half of the lengths for
the footing in the respective directions.

5.4 Design of Member
5.4.1 Slab
Slab are plate elements forming floors and roof of a building and carrying distributed load
primarily by flexure. A slab may be supported by beams or wall and may be used as the flange of
a T or L beam. Moreover, a slab may be simply supported or continuous over one or more
supports and classified accordingly.
(a) One-way slab spanning in one direction – Length is more than twice the breadth. (b) Two-
way slab spanning on both directions.
Reinforcement provided is least in slab among three structural members: slab, beam and column.
A slab can be distinguished from a beam as follows:
(b) Slab are analyzed and designed as having unit width i.e. 1 m.
(d) Shear stress is very low in slab hence shear reinforcement is not provided. If needed, depth is
increased rather than providing shear reinforcement.
The slab selected to show detailed design of slab with maximum live load intensity (i.e. 3
KN/m2) and longest short span. Details of the slab and supporting beams are given below:

Effective span of the slab is taken as maximum of C/C distance of the slab or clear span +
effective depth of the slab for x- and y- direction separately.

The mild steel reinforcement in either direction in slabs shall not be less than 0.15% of the total

5.4.2 Beam
A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the beam's axis. Its
mode of deflection is primarily by bending. The loads applied to the beam result in reaction
forces at the beam's support points. The total effect of all the forces acting on the beam is to
produce shear forces and bending moments within the beam, that in turn induce internal stresses,
strains and deflections of the beam. Beams are characterized by their manner of support, profile
(shape of cross-section), length, and their material.
A) Working Stress Method: The Stresses in an element is obtained from the working loads and
compared with permissible stresses. The method follows linear stress-strain behavior of both the
materials. Modular ratio can be used to determine allowable stresses. Material capabilities are
under estimated to large extent. Factor of safety are used in working stress method. The member
69
is considered as working stress. Ultimate load carrying capacity cannot be predicted accurately.
The main drawback of this method is that it results in an uneconomical section.
B) Limit state method: The stresses are obtained from design loads and compared with design
strength. In this method, it follows linear strain relationship but not linear stress relationship
(one of the major difference between the two methods of design). The ultimate stresses of
materials itself are used as allowable stresses. The material capabilities are not under estimated
as much as they are in working stress method. Partial safety factors are used in limit state
method.
70
All the required internal forces as obtained from sap analysis was compared and analyzed. A
critical beam is taken for the analysis.

6.3 Story Drift
story drift is the lateral displacement of one level relative to the level above or below
Drift is a very complex topic in structural engineering. It involves too many factors to arrive at a
suitable decision. It involves engineering judgment; the phenomenon fresh engineers might not
feel. It explains what is building drift, allowable limits, and ways and means to check in ETABS
models and to control the excessive drift. Please keep in mind, this article is not about the
building drift as far as structural science is concerned; rather this topic of drift is related to
ETABS software. Story drift ratio is the story drift divided by the story [Link] to the
NBC 105:2020, CLAUSE 5.6.3 Inter-Story [Link] ratio of the inter-story deflection to
the corresponding story height shall not exceed:
The design horizontal deflections shall be determined by multiplying the horizontal deflection
found from Equivalent Static Method by the Ductility factor (Rμ) for ultimate limit state only.

Modal participation factors are scalars that measure the interaction between the modes and the
directional excitation in a given reference frame. Cumulative mass – the cumulative mass for
mode “n” is the sum of the effective mass factors for modes 1 through “n”. The number of
modes to be used in the analysis should be such that the sum total of modal masses of all modes
consider is at least 90% of the total seismic. UX, UY and RZ in the table shows translation in x,
y and z.
Since the Modal 5 has 90% Mass Participation, it shows that 90% of the building weight is
involved in mass participation during earthquake.

7. Conclusion
The purpose of this project, through purely academic oriented, we have every effort to make it
feasible for the real construction.
The project work is mainly focused on the structural analysis by using professional computer
software and the sample design structure element manually.
From this project work, we got the opportunity to get the knowledge of using professional
software called ETABS for the analysis of the structure and design of structure element manually
using the analyzed computer output. This project work also enables us to use the different design
codes whenever required in the design procedure.
The project work is completed through the collective efforts of our project group. Due attention
is given to maintain the accuracy while analysis the data in computer and designing the structural
elements. We have faced many problems during the work but hard working, knee interest and
devotion of team member and valuable suggestion of our project advisor made it possible to
complete.
After completion of this project work, our team member individually could design the similar
types of structural.
