The Bachelors Pad / Apartment is located at Mubarraz, AL-Hofuf, Saudi

Arabia.
II. Geometry
The building utilizes a reinforced concrete structures. The floors are made
of precast hollow core and insitu slab. The building is supported by
isolated footing. The dimension of the lot is 12meters by 20meters. This
has Ground Floor+FirstFloor+Second Floor+ThirdFloor+Roof
Deck+Upper Roof Deck.
III. Geotechnical Data
Since there is no geotechnical or soil investigation done, the assume
soil bearing capacity is 150Kn/m and the modulus of subgrade reaction is
7500Kn/m.
IV. Material Properties
For reinforced concrete: 28N/mm
For reinforcement: Grade 60 with the minimum yield stress of 410N/mm

Wind Load
Wind load corresponding to basic wind speed of 25 m/s is considered as per
BS: 6399 - Part II
Data available
Height of building = 20m
Location = Dubai
Basic wind speed = 25 m/s
Longest side = 110.3m
Shortest side = 39.15m
5 Prepared by: JML dated June 25, 2016

Site Altitude = 0m
The dynamic pressure is given by
qs = 0.613Ve
Ve = Effective wind speed (Clause 2.2.3, BS: 6399- Part II)
Ve =VsSb
Vs = Site speed from (Clause 2.2.2, BS: 6399- Part II)
Sb = Terrain and building factor (Clause 2.2.3.3, BS: 6399- Part II)
Vs= VbSaSdSsSp
Where
Vb=Basic wind speed = 25m/s (Clause 2.2.1, BS: 6399- Part II)
Sa=Altitude factor = 1+0.001s (Clause 2.2.2.2, BS: 6399- Part II)
Sa =1 Sd=Directional factor =1
Ss=Seasonal factor =1(Clause 2.2.2.4, BS: 6399- Part II)
Sp=Probability factor =1(Clause 2.2.2.5, BS: 6399- Part II)
Then
Vs= VbSaSdSsSp
= 251111
= 25m/s
Ve = Vs Sb
Where Sb =1.77(Table 4 BS: 6399- Part II) with respect to He = 20m
Ve = 251.77
= 44.25 m/s
Therefore qs = 0.613 Ve
=0.61344.25
= 1.2 KN/m

Earthquake load
The earthquake forces are considered as per UBC 1997. The loads are
applied in two
horizontal directions.
CRITERIA FOR SELECTION:
1) 1629.2 Occupancy Criteria:
The structure shall be placed in one of the standard occupancy category and
an
importance factor of 1.0 shall be assigned I=1.0
6 Prepared by: JML dated June 25, 2016

2) 1629.4 Site Seismic Hazard Characteristics

Seismic hazards characteristics for the site shall be established based on the
seismic zone
and proximity of the site to active seismic source site soil profile
characteristics and the
structure is importance factor. The site shall be assigned a seismic zone and
each
structure shall be assigned a seismic zone of factor Z
Z=2A
3) 1629.5 Configuration Requirement
The structure has no significant physical discontinuities in plan or vertical
configuration
or in their lateral force resisting system. Therefore the structure has regular
and simple
with clear and direct path for transmission of seismic forces.
4) 1629.6 Moment Resisting Frame System:
Structural system with an essential complete space frame providing support
for gravity
loads. Moment resisting frames provide resistance to lateral load primarily by
flexural
action of members.

The structure is in seismic zone 2A, there is no limit.

out in
accordance with Uniform Building Code 1997, volume 2, Chapter 16 division
IV
Building Criteria:
As per table 16 k, UBC 1997 we have chosen standard occupancy for the
building.
Seismic Importance Factor I =1.0
Wind Importance Factor Iw = 1.0
Seismic Importance Factor (for panel connections) Ip =1.0
Soil Profile Type = SC
Dubai is situated in a low seismic zone region. However seismic zone 2A is
taken for
design.
TABLE 16-I, Seismic zone Factor = 0.15
TABLE 16-Q, Seismic Factor Ca = 0.18

TABLE 16-R, Seismic Factor Cv = 0.25

Structural Configuration:
The structure has no significant physical discontinuities in plan or vertical
configuration
or in their lateral force resisting system. Therefore the structure is regular
and simple
with clear and direct paths for transmission of seismic forces.
R (numerical coefficient representative of the inherent over strength and
global ductility
capacity of lateral force resisting systems as per 16-N or 16-P) =5.5
Lateral Force Procedure
Simplified static approach is applicable

Temperature load (As per UBC 1997)

With reference to the size of the building it is necessary to consider the
thermal
effect of the environment on the whole structure. In order to avoid additional
selfstraining (creep and shrinkage and additional curvature in the members
under thermal
gradient) after the design of the structure we have checked the whole
structure under the
thermal effect. All of the members have pass safely the additional stress due
to new load
combinations employed the thermal effect as a new load case except some
perimeter
columns and beams which needed to be modified in terms of No. of
reinforcements.

Load Combinations
The following load combinations are considered for the analysis and the
critical
load combination is taken for the design of the structure.
1. 1.4Dead load + 1.6Live load
2. 1.4Dead load 1.4Wind load(X)
3. 1.4Dead load 1.4Wind load(Y)
4. 1.2Dead load + 1.2Live load 1.2Wind load(X)
5. 1.2Dead load + 1.2Live load 1.2Wind load(Y)
6. 1.32Dead load + 0.55Live load 1.11EQ(X)
7. 1.32Dead load + 0.55Live load 1.11EQ(Y)
8. Dead load 1/4EQ(X)
9. Dead load 1/4EQ(Y)
10. 1.4Dead load + 1.6Live load 1.2Temperature Load
11. 1.4Dead load 1.4Wind load(X) 1.2Temperature Load
12. 1.4Dead load 1.4Wind load(Y) 1.2Temperature Load
13. 1.2Dead load + 1.2Live load 1.2Wind load(X) 1.2Temperature Load

VII. Modeling
The proposed building is modeled as a three dimensional structure using a
standard finite element software Etabs as shown in the Fig.1. The beams
and columns
are modeled as frame elements and the slabs & walls were modeled as shell
elements. At
the bottom of the columns isolated footing were modeled and soil spring
value was given
as per the assume soil parameters. Now the appropriate loadings were given
and a static
earth quake analysis was carried out to obtain the design forces.
