Analysis of Two-Storey RCC Frame and Design of its Foundation by Skempton’s Method

Abstract

This project that is “Analysis of two-storey RCC frame and Design of its foundation by using Skempton‟s method” basically deals with the designing of a two storey building along with the design of its foundation. To carry out the project, we were given with different data like: Plan of boring Boring logs Laboratory test data In situ test data Firstly considering the test data soil profiles along three different sections are created. Then an idealized soil profile is created by combining and averaging the values such as depth of various sections, the densities of each section etc. For the idealized soil profile we find out different soil properties like c, ø etc. Then we make the model of the building on STAAD PRO and analyze it to get the reactions at the base. This way the actual load that would be coming on the foundation can be determined. Thereafter different components of the building like beam, column, slab and foundation are designed. The designing is done according to design procedures given in IS 456: 2000 taking the loads as specified in IS 875. The designing would be done inclining more towards safety rather than economy. Firstly look into all the conditions and pick the worst case scenario and design of that. The final design for that worst scenario would be provided for all other parts too and this will ensure that our structure is safe on all parts.
