“STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF COMMERCIAL BUILDING”

Abstract

Project I and II was put on the curriculum for the fulfilment of Degree of Bachelors in Civil Engineering, where we were given an opportunity to analyze and design a building by applying the theoretical knowledge that we obtained over the period of 4 years. In this project entitled “Structural Analysis and Design of Commercial Building”, we idealized, analyzed and designed a commercial building abiding by IS codes. The main aim of this project work was to be familiar with the analysis and design of buildings abiding by the codes given by Indian Standard and Nepal Building Codes. Despite the resource and time limitation, the project has been completed successfully on time. With the hope that the design and drawings will be enough as per ductile design consideration and codal provision, we have completed the report on building project. Due to the extravagancy of testing and analyzing the building with physical model, only the computational modal was prepared. The computer aided design was done not only for visualization and drawing, but also for analysis and design using FEA based modelling tool, ETABS. Potential alternatives for design and analysis were evaluated in order to obtain the most promising output.
