As built Architectural drawings should be checked according to Alliance Standard 8.20.5.1
Scaled and dimensioned Architectural Documents (with proper signature and seal), including:
1. Scaled site plan showing:
-

General layout of all buildings in the complex with labels

Location and names of adjacent streets
Location and size of utilities, if known

2. Scaled architectural floor plan for each level of each building showing:
-

Architectural detail dimension

Location and size of stairs
Location and size of elevators
Location of fixed walls
Location of corridors
Labeled usage areas on each floor, e.g. sewing, storage, dining, rooftop, office, etc.
Location of major machinery and equipment
General layout of factory activities
Roof Plan showing any construction, equipment, water tanks, or tower added atop roof
level.

3. Scaled elevations of each side/faade of the building showing:

-

General configuration of the building including door and window schedule

Location and type of faade materials
Accurate number of levels and any intended future vertical or horizontal expansion
areas.

4. Scaled cross-section of the building showing:

-

Must cover stair location

Location and type of materials
Dimensions between floors
Accurate number of levels and any intended future vertical or horizontal expansion
areas

2. As- built Structural Drawings

As built Structural drawings should be checked according to Alliance Standard 8.20.5.2
Scaled and dimensioned Structural Documents as follows:
Floor Plan for each level showing:
-

Foundation layout plan

Foundation details including rebar detail
Measured locations of columns and walls
Column reinforcement details (tie and rebar schedule)
General size and layout of beams and section detail including stirrup detail

All floor slab details (rebar detail in both direction with extra top detail and Thickness of
slabs )
General size and location of major floor openings
All stair detail including stair beam detail
Shear wall detail (if available)
Signature and seal of responsible engineer (with IEB membership number and date) in
structural drawings

3. Material Test and Properties:

Soil test report (if not valid report available)

Foundation Exploration (if no foundation drawing available)

- Spot check of foundation at least three location (central, corner & edge).
- Foundation exploration plan
- Pictorial evidence
Core Test (if no concrete strength report is available)
- At least 4 Nos. of core taken from column
- Core sample collection plan
- Pictorial evidence
Rebar Scanning:
- Rebar Scanning at all possible areas- all type of column, beam & slab.
- Detail Image Scan report for all type of structural members
- Pictorial evidence in report
Rebar grade testing: (if not available)
- Rebar taken from grade beam or ground floor slab extra top rebar or other possible
area or obtain reliable data for verifying the rebar grade/strength
- If not possible, consideration reliable data, otherwise consider 40 grade
- Pictorial evidence

4. Structural Analysis Report (Computer Model Analysis File)

Input Data:
Geometric references as per existing structural & architectural conditions.
-

Size & properties of all type of structural member.

No of Storey & its height
Column definition as per drawing
Beam & slab layout plan as per drawing.
Stair case as per drawing including inclined slab
Shear wall as per drawing
Cantilever as per drawing

- Support condition with proper engineering judgment.

Concrete & Steel Strength
- Concrete strength as per ACI 562
- Steel strength as per test result or obtained data
Dead & Live Load
-

Self-weight of structural member

Floor finish as per existing structure
Partition & periphery wall
Parapet wall
Special loading such as Stair load, dining area, prayer area.
OHWT (RCC & plastic water tank load)
Mobile tower related load
Boiler load
Minimum live load 42 psf. (It should be mentioned that as per Alliance Standard)

Lateral Load
- Wind Load as per BNBC 2006
(It should be properly assigned as per BNBC)
Load Combination
Minimum load combination should be as per ALLIANCE GUIDELINE but if anyone use more
than these load combinations, that report is obviously accepted and highly appreciated. But at
the time of preparing design documents (if anyone use Alliance load combination) it should be
clearly mentioned in the report that Load combination is used as per Alliance Standard (This
is only for design report not for DEA)

- For RCC structure

Five load combinations should be followed as per Alliance Guideline:
1) 1.2DL +1.6 LL
2) 1.05 DL + 1.25 LL + 1 Wx
3) 1.05 DL + 1.25 LL - 1 Wx
4) 1.05 DL + 1.25 LL + 1 Wy
5) 1.05 DL + 1.25 LL - 1 Wy

- For Steel Structure

 Final Report/Results
Serviceability Check/compliance report:
- Deflection check/compliance report
- Drift/Horizontal displacement check/compliance report
