CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 General
The proposed project is a G+4 STRUCTURE designed to accommodate 30 students
per department annually. It includes well-planned classrooms, staff rooms, laboratories,
seminar halls, and administrative areas. The building emphasizes functionality, durability,
and sustainability while ensuring proper lighting, ventilation, and accessibility. The design
aims to provide a modern, efficient, and comfortable learning environment that supports
academic growth and excellence.

1.2 Standards and Codes


The proposed project is a G+4 Commercial Building designed to accommodate five
shops on each floor. The design and planning are carried out in accordance with NBC 2016
(both volumes) and relevant IS codes to ensure compliance with structural safety,
accessibility, and fire protection standards. The structure is planned as a reinforced cement
concrete (RCC) framed system with isolated footings provided to safely transfer loads to the
soil, ensuring stability and durability. The building layout includes retail spaces, service areas,
staircases, and sanitary facilities, designed for smooth circulation and ease of access.
Emphasis is placed on structural integrity, energy efficiency, and sustainability, incorporating
provisions for natural lighting and cross ventilation to create a comfortable indoor
environment. Overall, the project aims to establish a modern, safe, and efficient commercial
complex that supports business growth while contributing to sustainable urban development.

1.3 Types of Building


A G+4 commercial building can be categorized based on its structural system and
function. Generally, such buildings are designed as reinforced cement concrete (RCC) framed
structures, where beams, columns, and slabs carry the loads, and the walls serve only as
partitions. This system provides high strength, durability, and flexibility in planning for
various commercial uses such as offices, shops, or showrooms. Load-bearing structures are
rarely used for G+4 buildings as they are not economical or structurally efficient for taller
frames. In some cases, composite or precast systems may be adopted to improve construction

1
speed and performance, but RCC framed structures remain the most common and suitable
choice for G+4 commercial buildings due to their structural stability and adaptability.

1.3 RCC Framed


Structure RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) framed structures are commonly used
in college buildings for their strength, durability, and design flexibility. Beams and columns
form a frame that supports the building, allowing larger spans and open spaces without load-
bearing walls. RCC frames also resist natural forces like earthquakes and wind, making them
ideal for multi-storey buildings while following national guidelines to ensure safety and
long-term performance.

1.1 Objectives

LITERATURE REVIEW

Liao W. (2024) — This review synthesizes recent advances in generative AI for building-
structure design, showing how generative models and optimization pipelines are increasingly
used to create materially efficient reinforced-concrete layouts and automate early-stage G+4
building geometry iterations while noting challenges in validation and code compliance.

Le Nguyen K. (2024) — Le Nguyen presents a combined generative-AI and multi-objective


optimisation framework applied to concrete mix design, demonstrating how AI can balance
strength, cost and embodied-CO₂ objectives—an approach relevant to selecting rainforest-
appropriate mixes for tropical G+4 commercial projects.

Pallapothu S. N. R. G. (2023) — This study focuses on predicting concrete compressive


strength u sing particle-packing theory and machine learning, offering practical mix-
design predictors that can feed into generative-design workflows for moderate-height
buildings where local aggregate and moisture conditions matter.

Barbhuiya S. & Sharif S. (2023) — Their conference paper reviews AI advances in concrete
mix design and highlights practical applications and challenges (data scarcity,
generalisability), arguing that AI-generated mixes must be experimentally validated before
being used in real-world G+4 commercial construction

Gamil Y. (2023) — This broader review of machine learning in concrete technology surveys
applications from fresh-state prediction to durability assessment, and recommends hybrid
physics-informed + data-driven models for dependable mix design in aggressive
tropical/rainforest environments.

Luo D. (2025) — Luo’s review maps AI across the entire concrete lifecycle (material
selection, mix optimisation, process control and quality assurance), showing strong predictive

4
performance from ensemble models and outlining how lifecycle-aware AI could reduce
embodied carbon in G+4 commercial concrete systems

Muhit I. B. (2025) — This article surveys computational models for concrete degradation
(carbonation, chloride ingress, freeze–thaw) and highlights integrating AI with mechanistic
durability models—critical for rainforest-adjacent G+4 designs where long-term exposure
and serviceability must be forecasted.

Sinha and Roy (2018) -- Studied the behaviour of one-way slabs under different live loads
and observed that maintaining an appropriate effective depth and correct placement of tensile
reinforcement is critical to avoid excessive deflection. Their experiments confirmed that slabs
designed using IS 456:2000 codes performed reliably under service loads and provided
sufficient safety margins for bending and shear stresses.

Kumar et al. (2020)-- analyzed two-way slabs in multi-storey buildings and reported that load
distribution along the longer span often governs the reinforcement requirement. They
highlighted that neglecting this factor could lead to under-reinforced zones and early cracking.
Their findings emphasized the importance of proper calculation of bending moments in both
directions and spacing of main and secondary bars.

Rao and Sharma (2019) -- conducted experimental tests on short and slender reinforced
concrete columns subjected to axial and eccentric loads. They concluded that columns
designed with minimum longitudinal steel as per IS 456 exhibited ductile behaviour, whereas
columns with insufficient ties experienced sudden failure. The study reinforced the importance
of tie spacing and cover for durability and stability.

Patel and Desai (2021) -- investigated the impact of dead loads, live loads, and floor finishes
on slabs and beams. Their study found that using proper factored loads (1.5 times service
loads) during design ensures that both bending moments and shear forces remain within safe
limits

CHAPTER 7
ANALYSIS

7.1 Structural Design


Structural analysis for G+4 building involves assessing the structural integrity and
stability of the building. The below mentioned key steps are followed to do structural analysis
process
7.1.1 Load Calculation
Determine and calculate all relevant loads, including dead loads (self-weight of
concrete members like slabs, beams, and columns), live loads (occupancy, furniture, and
equipment), and Seismic loads (as per the site conditions and IS standards). Ensure
appropriate load combinations are applied for design safety.
7.1.2. Material Selection
Choose appropriate materials for the structural components, considering factors
such as strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Common materials include steel for
reinforcement and concrete for foundations.
7.1.3. Element Analysis
Select suitable materials for the reinforced concrete structure, considering strength,
durability, and environmental conditions. Use high-quality concrete of appropriate grade
(e.g., M25 or above) and reinforcement steel (e.g., Fe 500) to ensure safety and long-term
performance. Proper cover and curing should be provided to prevent corrosion and cracks.

7.1.4. Foundation Design


Design the foundation based on soil bearing capacity and type of substructure
required. Common types include isolated, combined, raft, or pile foundations. Ensure the
foundation transfers loads safely to the ground without excessive or differential settlement.
7.1.8 Analysis of Structural Components
Carry out detailed analysis for each structural component—beams, slabs, columns,
and footings—to determine bending moments, shear forces, and axial forces.
7.1.9 Serviceability Check
Verify deflection, cracking, and vibration limits to ensure comfort and long-term
performance of the building under service load

15
7.2 ANALYSIS OF RCC STRUCTURE USING [Link]

7.2.1. Geometry Input


Create the geometric model of the RCC structure in [Link]. Input nodes, members,
and supports. Ensure accuracy in terms of dimensions, member orientations, and connections.
7.2.2. Material Properties
Define material properties for all structural members. Typically, RCC structures use
concrete, so input the appropriate material properties such as modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio,
and density.
7.2.3. Support Conditions:
Specify support conditions at the foundation level. Common supports include fixed supports
or Pinned supports depending on the foundation type.

7.2.4. Load Application:


Apply various loads to the structure, including dead loads, live loads, seismic loads, and any
other relevant loads based on the structure's intended use and location. Ensure proper load
combinations as per the Indian design code .
7.2.5. Load Combinations:
Define load combinations as per the Indian design code specifications. [Link] allows
you to create combinations considering various load scenarios, such as different combinations of
dead load, live load, seismic load, etc.
7.2.6 Perform Structural Analysis:
Run the analysis in [Link]. The software will calculate the member forces, reactions,
and deformations based on the applied loads and structural configuration.
7.2.7 Review Analysis Results:
Review and interpret the analysis results, which include member forces, support reactions,
and displacements. Ensure that the structure satisfies the required safety and serviceability criteria.
7.2.8 Design Code Check:
Perform a design code check to verify whether the structural members meet the code
requirements for strength, deflection limits, and other design criteria.
7.2.9 Generating Reports:
Generate analysis and design reports from [Link]. These reports provide a detailed
overview of the structure's behaviour and member design checks.

DESIGN

8.1 COLUMN DESIGN

Column size 450 × 450 mm

Leff = 5 m
Effective span / length
= 5000 mm

w = 40 kN/m

Service load (DL+LL) → total factored axial load Pu

= 1.5 × (40 × 5) = 300 kN

λ = Leff / least lateral dimension


Slenderness ratio (λ)
= 5000 / 450 = 11.11 → short column

lmin = L / 500 + D / 30

= 5000 / 500 + 450 / 30


Minimum eccentricity (lmin)
= 10 + 15

= 25 mm

Minimum eccentricity (emin) emin = 0.05 × D

23
= 0.05 × 450

= 22.5 mm

Ag = b × h

Gross sectional area (Ag) = 450 × 450

= 202500 mm²

Axial load formula Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc

300 × 10³

Solve for steel area (Asc) = 0.4 × 25 × (202500 - Asc) + 500 × Asc

→ Asc = 2074 mm²

p = (Asc / Ag) × 100

Percentage of steel (p) = 2074 / 202500 × 100

≈ 1.02% → OK

ast = π / 4 × 25²
Area of single 25 mm bar
= 490.87 mm²

n = Ast /ast

Number of bars (n)


= 2074 / 490.87 ≈ 4.22

24
→ provide 4 bars of 25 mm

Diaties = 1/4 main bar

= 25 / 4
Lateral tie diameter
= 6.25 mm

→ provide 8 mm ties

As per IS 456: max 16 × bar dia or 300 mm


Spacing of lateral ties
→ use 8 mm @ 200 mm c/c

Concrete cover 40 mm

M = 40 × 5² / 8

M = wL²/8 = 125 kN·m

= 125 × 10⁶ N·mm

0.138 × 25 × 300 × 400²

Mu,lim = 0.138 fck b d² = 165.60 × 10⁶ N·mm

= 165.60 kN·m

Comparison: M vs Mu,lim 125 kN·m < 165.60 kN·m

xu,lim = 0.46 d 0.46 × 400 = 184 mm

0.36 × 25 × 300 × 184 / (0.87 × 415)


A_st1 = 0.36 fck b xu,lim / (0.87 fy)
= 1375.99 mm²

0.9 × 400
z ≈ 0.9 d
= 360 mm

125 × 10⁶ / (0.87 × 415 × 360)


Ast = M × 10⁶ / (0.87 fy z)
= 961.70 mm²

961.70 / 201 ≈ 4.78


n_16 = Ast / A_16 (A_16 = 201 mm²)
→ provide 5 × Ø16 mm (total 1005 mm²)

26
Formula Calculation & Answer

1.5 × 40
wu = 1.5 w
= 60 kN/m

60 × 5 / 2
Vu = wu L / 2
= 150 kN

150 × 10³ / (300 × 400)


τv = Vu / (b d)
= 1.25 N/mm²

0.85 × 300 × 400 / 415


Ast,min = 0.85 b d / fy
= 245.78 mm²

0.04 × 300 × 450


Ast,max = 0.04 b D
= 5400 mm²

8.3 DESIGN OF ONE WAY SLAB

Step / Formula Calculation & Answer

Slab size 5×2m

Width of wall 230 mm

Assumed B 1m

fy 500 N/mm²

fck 25 N/mm²

Ly / Lx

Lateral span ratio =5/2

= 2.5 → One-way slab

l/d

= 25 → d

Step 1: Thickness of slab = L / 25

= 2000 / 25

= 80 mm

d’ = 20 mm;

Effective cover
π = 10 mm

28
Step / Formula Calculation & Answer

→ cover = 20 + (10/2)

= 25 mm

D = d + d’

Overall depth = 80 + 25

= 105 mm

i) Clear span + effective depth

Step 2: Effective span = 2 + 0.08

= 2.08 m

ii) c/c of supports

= 0.23/2 + 2 + 0.23/2

= 2.23 m

→ L_eff = 2.16 m (least value)

Self-weight

= b × D × unit wt of concrete
Step 3: Load calculation
= 1 × 0.105 × 25

= 2.625 kN/m

29
Step / Formula Calculation & Answer

L.L = 4 kN/m;

Floor finish

= 1.5 kN/m

Total load

= 2.625 + 4 + 1.5

= 8.125 kN/m

Wu = 8.125 × 1.5
Ultimate load

= 11.99 kN·m

SF = Wu × L / 2

= 12.1875 × 2.8 / 2

= 17.06 kN

Mu_lim = 0.138 × fck × b × d²

30
Step / Formula Calculation & Answer

Step 5: Check for Mu_lim = 0.138 × 25 × 1000 × 80²

= 22.08 × 10⁶ N·mm

Mu < Mu_lim

→ Under-reinforced section

Step 6: Reinforcement (Area of Mu = 0.87 × fy × Ast × d (1 – (Ast × fy)/(b × d ×

Steel) fck))

11.99 × 10⁶

= 34800 Ast – 8.7 Ast²

→ Ast = 380 mm²

Use 10 mm rod → Ast_single

= π × 10² / 4

= 78.5 mm²

Number of bars

= 100 × (Ast_single / Ast)

= 100 × (78.5 / 380) ≈ 20.65

→ 130 mm spacing (say)

31
Step / Formula Calculation & Answer

Pt = 100 × Ast / (b × d)

Step 7: Check for reinforcement = 100 × 380 / (100 × 80)

= 0.475%

Minimum steel

= 0.12% of section

= 0.12 / 100 × b × d

= 96 mm²

Shear stress: Zc = 0.4 N/mm²;

Zv = Vu / (b × d)

= 0.213 N/mm²

→ Zc > Zv

Sv = 100 × (Ast_single / Ast)

= 100 × (π / 4 × 8² / 96)

= 53.35 mm

τc × k

32
Step / Formula Calculation & Answer

= 0.4 × 1.24

= 0.496

→ τc(k) > Zc → OK

(L/d)max = (L/d)basic × Kc × Kt × Kf; Kc

= Kt = Kf = 1

Step 8: Deflection check → (L/d)max

= 2080 / 80

= 26

Fs = 0.58 × fy × (Ast_req / Ast_pro)

= 0.58 × 500 × 380 / 480

(L/d)actual

= 2800 / 80 = 25;

(L/d)max = (L/d)basic × Kc × Kt × Kf = 20 × 1.4

×1×1

= 29

(L/d)actual

≈ 73 mm

d’ = 20 mm;

assumed bar dia = 10 mm


Effective cover
→ cover = 20 + 10/2

= 25 mm

D = d + d’

Overall depth = 73 + 25

= 98 mm

Clear span + effective depth

Step 3: Effective span = 1.828 + 0.073

≈ 1.901 m

c/c of supports

= 1 + 0.1/2 + 0.1/2

= 1.1 m (least value)

→ L_eff = 1.901 m

35
Step / Formula Calculation & Answer

Self-weight = b × D × unit wt

Step 4: Load Calculation = 1 × 0.098 × 25

= 2.45 kN/m

Live load = 4 kN/m;

Floor finish = 1.5 kN/m

Total load = 2.45 + 4 + 1.5

= 7.95 kN/m

Wu = 1.5 × 7.95
Ultimate load

≈ 10.90 kN

Mu_lim = 0.138 × fck × b × d²


Step 6: Check for Mu_lim

36
Step / Formula Calculation & Answer

= 0.138 × 25 × 1000 × 73²

≈ 14.59 × 10^6 N·mm

Mu < Mu_lim → Under-reinforced section

Mu = 0.87 × fy × Ast × d (1 – (Ast × fy) / (b × d ×


Step 7: Area of Steel (Ast)
fck))

4.99 × 10^6 = 0.87 × 500 × Ast × 73 (1 – (500 ×

Ast)/(1000 × 73 × 25))

→ Ast ≈ 145 mm²

Bar dia = 10 mm

Step 8: Bar selection → A_bar = π / 4 × 10²

= 78.5 mm²

Number of bars = Ast / A_bar

= 145 / 78.5 ≈ 1.85

→ Provide 2 bars of 10 mm

Minimum shear = τc = 0.4 N/mm²;

Step 9: Lateral ties / min

CONCLUSION

The project “Planning, Analysis, and Design of a G+4 Arts College Building” provided an
opportunity to apply engineering concepts to a real-world scenario. The main objective was to
design a functional, safe, and sustainable structure in compliance with NBC 2016 and AICTE
guidelines. The process included architectural planning with well-lit, ventilated, and accessible
classrooms, labs, seminar halls, and administrative spaces, visualized using AutoCAD and Revit.
Structural analysis was performed using [Link] under dead, live, wind, and seismic loads,
confirming safety and serviceability. RCC was chosen for its strength and durability, and each
element—beams, columns, slabs, and footings—was designed for efficiency. Real site conditions
like soil type and foundation depth were considered, and manual verification complemented
software results. Overall, the project bridged theory and practice, enhancing technical skills and
confidence in handling real-life civil engineering challenges.
