Analysis of Two-Storey RCC Frame and Design of its Foundation by I.S. Code Method

Abstract

Our project that is “Designing of two storey building with its foundation” 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 we created soil profiles along three different sections. We then created an idealized soil profile by combining and averaging the values such as depth of various sections, the densities of each section etc. For the idealized soil profile we found out different soil properties like c, ø etc. After that we progressed to modeling of the building on STAAD PRO and analyzing it so that we can get the reactions at the base. This way we can get the actual load that would be coming on the foundation. Thereafter different components of the building like beam, column, slab and foundation were designed. The designing was 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 and we are doing so by firstly looking into all the conditions and picking the worst case scenario. We are designing for that scenario and that section would be provided for all other parts too and this will ensure that our structure is safe on all parts.
