Design of Multi Story Residential Building

Abstract

The population explosion and industrial revolution led to the exodus of people from villages to urban areas. This urbanisation led to a new problem – less space for housing of the people. Because of the demand for land, the land costs got skyrocketed. So, under such conditions, the vertical growth of buildings i.e. constructions of multi-storeyed buildings has become inevitable for residential purpose. For multi-storeyed buildings, the conventional load bearing structures become uneconomical as they require larger sections to resist huge moments and loads. But in a framed structure, the building frame consists of a network of beams and columns which are built monolithically and rigidly with each other at their joints. Because of this rigidity at the joints, there will be reduction in moments and also the structure tends to distribute the loads more uniformly and eliminate the excessive effects of localised loads. Therefore in non-load bearing framed structures, the moments and forces become less which in turn reduces the sections of the members. As the walls don’t take any load, they are also of thinner dimensions. So, the lighter structural components and walls reduce the self weight of the whole structure which necessitates a cheaper foundation. Also, the lighter walls which can be easily shifted provide flexibility in space utilisation. In addition to the above mentioned advantages the framed structure is more effective in resisting wind loads and earth quake loads. It is proposed to construct six story residential building with underground parking at Solan (H.P). In our Project we have designed the architecture drawings with the Auto-cad and 3d sketches with chief architecture. Structure of the building is design by computer application Staad.pro for R.C.C frame including beams and columns , slabs and footing by manual calculation with the use of Latest codes. Other components of the project like elevated water tank, septic tank, Soak pit and rain water harvesting tank is designed as per the requirements of TCP (Town and country planning), Solan distric
