Design and Material Cost Comparison of RCC and Prestressed Concrete Multistorey Building

Abstract

Structural design is the primary aspect of civil engineering. The very basis of construction of any building, residential house or dams, bridges, culverts, canals etc. is designing. Structural engineering has existed since humans first started to construct their own structures. In these modern days the Buildings are made to fulfil our basic aspects and better serviceability. It is not an issue to construct a Building any how its, important to construct an efficient building which will serve for many years without showing any failure. The principle objective of this project is to design the RCC and prestressed concrete multi-storey building using Ms excel and then compare the cost estimation of RCC and prestressed concrete building and later the results will be compared by a software .The idea is to reach a definite conclusion regarding the superiority of the two design over one another. Overall, the concepts and procedures of designing the basic components of a multistorey building are described. Apart from that, the planning of the building with regard to appropriate directions for the respective rooms, choosing position of beams and columns are also properly explained.
