Structural Analysis Report
Nepal lies in seismically vulnerable zone. It is located in the boundary of the two colliding
tectonic plates- the Indian plate (Indo-Australian Plate) and the Tibetan plate (Eurasian Plate)
which is known as “Subduction Zone”. Records of earthquakes are available in Nepal since
1255 A.D. Those records reveal that Nepal was hit by 18 major earthquakes since then,
resulting in huge loss of life and property. Out of these earthquakes, the 1833 and 1934
earthquakes were the most destructive ones.
Designing building against earthquake forces does not mean that we are making the building
proof against it. Although we can design such robust structure, it would be too expensive to
build, it would be far cheaper to rebuild the building again instead of making it completely
earthquake proof. The structures are generally designed for much lower seismic forces than
what it may actually experience during its life time. Since the structure is expected to undergo
damage in the event of a severe shaking, reliance is placed on the inelastic response of the
structure beyond yield.

Therefore, structures have to be ductile and capable of dissipating energy through inelastic
actions. Ductility can be achieved by avoiding brittle modes of failures. Brittle modes of
failures include, shear and bond failure. Thus, structures should be designed on Weak Beam-
Strong column philosophy.
The structural design alone is not enough to ensure the safety of the building, equally
the one to execute the construction work at the site. He is required to execute the work
according to the drawings supplied by the consultant to him and detailing has to be
carefully followed. A large percentage of failure of the building is attributed to poor quality
of construction. Past experiences from damages have shown that quality of material and
workmanship plays an important role in good seismic behaviour of the buildings. Hence,

b. STAAD RCDC
The tentative sizes of the Structural elements are determined through preliminary design so
that after analysis, the presumed dimensions may not deviate considerably, thus making the
final design both safe and economical. The tentative sizes have been determined as follows:
Slab: From Deflection Criteria [Effective Depth = Effective Shorter Span / (26 * MF)]
Beam: For Practical rule as 25mm Depth for 300mm of Span covering deflection criteria
Column: From evaluation of approximate gravity loading coming up to the critical Column.
To compensate for the possible eccentric Loading and earthquake loads the size is
increased by about 25 % in design.

a. Working Stress Method based on the Working loads in conjunction with permissible stresses
in the materials.
b. Limit State Method based on safety and serviceability requirements associated with the design
loads and design strengths of the materials. These design loads and design strengths are
obtained by applying partial safety factors for characteristic loads and strengths of the
materials concrete and steel.
We have followed the limit state method which is incorporated in IS: 456-2000. It is consistent with
the new philosophy of design termed limit state approach which was incorporated in the Russian
Code – 1954, the British code BS 8110 – 1985 and the American Code ACI 318 – 1989.
Analysis
The analysis has been carried out using a standard software package ETABS v18 based on finite
element method. The software is capable of carrying out a Three-Dimensional analysis. It is
windows-based software. It has a user-friendly graphical input and output interface. It can
account for the rigid zones at the beam - column junction. It has a capability to create a special
joint at any grid intersection. The program has a facility to create shell elements also. Shell
elements can be used for the analysis of Slabs and Shear walls. A full 3D finite element model
using frame and shell elements can also be created using ETABS.
A Three-Dimensional Linear elastic analysis has been carried out. Structure is assumed to be
fixed at the Plinth level. The masonry wall load is distributed in the beams as uniformly
distributed loads. The beams are modelled as rectangular beams. A model based on Rigid
Diaphragm Concept has been considered. This is done by creating a special joint at the centre of
mass of each floor level and constraining all the joints at this level by a diaphragm constraint.

Load Cases
Following loads have been considered in the analysis of the building as per NBC 102,
NBC 103, IS 875 and NBC 105:2020.
Load Combination
The load combination has been taken as given in NBC 105:2020. The said code has recommended
the following load combinations:
• 1.2DL + 1.5LL
• DL + λLL ± (Ex ± 0.3Ey)
• DL + λLL ± (0.3Ex ± Ey)
Where, λ = 0.6 for storage facilities
= 0.3 for other usage

Dead Loads
Dead loads are assumed to be produced by slab, beams, columns, walls, parapet walls,
staircase, plasters and mortars, Floor finish and water tank. The weight of building material
is taken as per IS 875(Part 1)-2015.
Live Loads
Live loads are applied on floor slabs on the basis of usage of rooms, as specified in IS 875 part II.
Rooms 2 KN/m2
Toilet/Bathrooms/Kitchens 2 KN/m2
Balcony/Stairs 3 KN/m2
Terrace/Roof 1.5 KN/m2
Floor Finish
Floor Finishing for toilet = 3.0 KN/m²
Floor Finishing for Landing, passages, balcony, etc.= 1.5 kN/m
Floor Finishing for Staircase (with steps) = 2.0 kN/m²

Design
The design of reinforced concrete structural members includes selection of material properties
(grade of steel and concrete), shape and size of cross section, factor of safety and amount of steel
required. The design of reinforced concrete members is carried out using limit state method as
per IS 456: 2000 and NBC 110. The limit state method is the modern and latest design

methodology. This method evolved around 1970’s. Limit state method is based on the concept
of multiple safety factors and attempts to provide adequate safety at the ultimate loads and
adequate serviceability at service loads.
For the design of the members IS 456:2000, design aid SP 16 and NBC 110 have been used.
Footings have been checked for vertical loads and moments developed at the base due to dead
load and live load only. Square footings have been adopted from seismic point of view that
reversal stress may occur. And footing beams are provided for column at foundation for more
rigidity of building and also need for the column located at boundary. Longitudinal
reinforcement in beams and columns has been calculated based on critical load combination
among the thirteen load combinations. Spacing of the shear reinforcement has been calculated
as per the ductility criteria as defined in IS 13920 -2016. Some sample designs are shown later on
in this report.

Design of Foundation
The purpose of the foundation is to effectively support the superstructure by
transmitting the applied load effects to the soil below, without exceeding the safe
bearing capacity of the superstructure by ensuring settlement of the structure is within
tolerable limits, and as nearly uniform as possible.
The choice of the type of the foundation depends not only on the type of the
superstructure and the magnitude and types of reactions induced at the base of the
superstructure, but also on the nature of the soil strata on top of which the substructure

Structural Analysis Report
Conclusion
Ductility and strength required to resist major earthquake can be achieved by
following the recommendations made in the standard codes of practice for
earthquake resistant design. After the analysis of the building components, the
building is found to be safe against the loads considered above. All the sections are
found to be stressed within the permissible limits due to axial, shear, flexural and
torsional forces produced due to above forces. The slab and foundations were
checked manually. Shear stirrups is sufficiently provided so that none of the
elements are Vulnerable to shear failure and failure mode will be flexural, which is
more ductile. Bearing capacity of the soil is assumed to be 130 KN/m2. It is strongly
recommended to check the bearing capacity before construction so as to ensure the
assumed value is within safe limits. The structural safety would further depend upon
the effectiveness of construction procedures as well as collapse and serviceability
criteria followed during the construction phases.
Design and construction of the structure are interrelated jobs. A building behaves in
a manner how it has been built rather than what the intensions is during designing.
A large percentage of structural failures are attributed due to poor quality of
construction. Therefore, quality assurance is needed in both design and construction.
Durable M20 concrete has been used in the foundation which is in contact with the
soil. M20 grade of concrete is used during analysis and design of slabs, beams and
columns. Ductile detailing has been extensively adopted while detailing.
