3.1.1 PROJECT DETAILS :

3.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

PRESTIGE ESTATE PROJECTS PVT (LTD) is set up a Residential Apartment at the
site located at Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore, Inda integrating 2 bed room, 3 bed room,
apartments.

3.1.2 STRUCTURAL SYSTEM:

3.1.3 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY :

The basic structural material chosen for most of the structural elements in the building is
reinforced concrete. In recent years reinforced concrete structures developed personalities of
their own, reflecting inherent homogeneous characteristics including its strength, mouldability,
fire safety, handsome appearances and weather resistances. The building is proposed to be
designed as reinforced concrete framed construction with shear wall.

The function of a building has a considerable effect on the selection of structural type. Several
alternate framing systems have been studied in order to achieve a suitable structural pattern.
The variety of the types of the floor system that can be constructed with reinforced concrete
enable selection of the most economical design satisfying the functional requirements of the
building with all possible loads that can come on building during its life time.

Many services are usually carried through vertical shafts and distributed horizontally and the
slab beam system may be selected for structural efficiency and economy.

The slab beam system can efficiently handle all the gravity loads. To take care of the lateral
loads, column-beam framing with shear wall action is utilized to transfer lateral loads in
addition to gravity loads. After several discussions with Architects & Service Consultants &
Cost Effectiveness slab beam system is proposed & approved for the project.

3.1.4 STRUCTURAL SYSTEM OF THE MAIN BUILDING :

Project: PRESTIGE NOTTING HILL
Owner: PRESTIGE ESTATE PROJECTS PVT (LTD)

1 SUPER STRUCTURE: Super structure of the main building is a slab beam system. The
beams & columns are so arranged as to divide the area into regular rectangle & square
panels. The slabs are either one way or two way slabs.

The arrangement of the beams & columns is determined by economical & functional
considerations which are further dependent upon the use to which the building is put, the size
& shape of the floor & load.

The Ground floor slab has been designed for parking loadings with slab & beam system and
typical floor slab in tower portion has been designed for residential loadings and podium slab
has been designed for landscape loadings with hard surface finish and fire tender load with
slab beam system.

Since the slab, beams are cast monolithically the advantage is taken of rigidity of members &
continuity to distribute the loads in orthogonal directions.

1 SUB STRUCTURE:

The soil investigation report was submitted by F.S. Engineer Pvt. Ltd Chennai., and Chetana
Consultants had recommended to take second opinion for the SBC of the soil. Prof. B.R.
Srinivasa Murthy of IISc Bangalore has inspected the site and submitted their
recommendations. Based on this report SBC of 40 MT/Sqm is considered for Design of
Foundations.

Sub structure consists of isolated, combined footings & raft foundation which distribute gravity
loads & lateral loads from super structure to soil beneath.

the above design wind pressure to be considered with appropriate local pressure coefficient.

3.2.7 EARTH QUAKE LOAD: IS 1893 / IS 4326 / IS 13920

Earth quake loads are calculated as per seismic co-efficient method as suggested in IS 1893-
(Part 1) - 2002.

According to the IS Code 1893, the Indian Sub-Continent has been divided into five seismic
zone. Zone I and II are zones of “Low Seismic Risk”. IS 1983 which has been revised
recently had bought change in the seismic zone map. Zone I has been merged with Zone II.
Bangalore which was in zone I has been moved to Zone II.

Ductile detailing as given in IS 456 is followed.

Design Spectrum
The design horizontal seismic co-efficient for a structure shall be determined by the following
expressions. ( As per cl. 7.8.2 & 7.6 )
Ah = ZI Sa
2R g

Z – Zone factor for Zone II

– Low Seismic Intensity = 0.10

I – Importance factor = 1.0

R – Response reduction factor for ordinary

Shear Wall with Moment resisting frames = 3.0
Project: PRESTIGE NOTTING HILL
Owner: PRESTIGE ESTATE PROJECTS PVT (LTD)

Sa – Average response acceleration co-efficient which depends on soil

G types, natural period and damping values.

T – Fundamental Natural period = 0.075h 0.75

Where ‘h’ is the height of the building (App. 57 meter)
Assuming hard soil and damping 5%.

T = 1.56

(Sa / g ) = 1.05 / T = 0.675

Ah = 0.1 1 0.675 = 0.011

placing proceeds say in 300mm.

.10 When casting columns, walls or beams of depth 700mm or more, a layer of rich
cement mortar should be placed first. This is to avoid accumulation of gravel in the
bottom layer and to have a better bond.

.11 Compaction of concrete shall be done by mechanical vibrators. Proper care shall be
taken to avoid segregation and honeycombing.

.12 The secondary beam bars shall be placed over main beam bars when the depths of

.18 Splices if unavoidable must be located from face of the column at not closer than
twice the beam depth.

.19 Splices in beams shall be contained by additional 3 Nos. of stirrups.

.20 Stirrups shall be closed type with ends hooked.

as per specification.

.8 EXPANSION JOINTS / SEPARATION JOINTS

3.3 DESIGN CRITERIA

3.3.1 BASIC ASSUMPTION

1.1 The building is designed as one rigid monolithic structure in which joints in beams and
columns have been assumed to be fixed in position but free to rotate in direction.

1.2 Sizes of structural elements have been so fixed so as to produce full stresses.

1.3 Since load carrying capacity of compression members increase with richness of
concrete mix and for the sake of economy the higher grade of concrete is proposed for
columns.

1.4 Continuity of structural members is very much desirable since it will provide multiple
path of load resistance. Therefore as far as possible all parts of building are tied
together to act as one unit in resisting external forces.

1.5 The floor slabs are considered as horizontal diaphragms and are stiff enough in their
planes to produce equal lateral displacement at floor levels.

1.6 The entire structure is considered as “Gravity load framed construction” in which entire
lateral load is carried by frame action with shear wall actions.

1.7 Concrete behaves linearly elastic and therefore the structure is amenable to a linear
method of analysis involving super-position of actions and displacements.

1.8 The cladding and non-structural components do not influence the behavior of the
building.

1.9 The shear deformation of slender flexural members and torsional stiffness of slender
beams, columns, plane walls, are insignificant.
Project: PRESTIGE NOTTING HILL
Owner: PRESTIGE ESTATE PROJECTS PVT (LTD)

1.10 The out of plane action of slabs and out of plane action of walls of frame bents are to
be disregarded.

1.11 The axial deformation of vertical elements is disregarded.

3.3.2 LIMIT STATE METHOD OF DESIGN
Limit state method of design has become major design method in which in elastic
behavior is considered rather than considering only elastic behavior as per working
stress design theory. This method helps to close the gap that exists between the
strength computations and actual test result. In view of this, all the structural elements
in the building are proposed to be designed with “LIMIT STATE METHOD” as per
Indian standards.
