OUTLINE:

1. Introduction: Horizontal or Long Span Structures
2. Introduction to the Structural design Project: Design for an Airport terminal building of dimension 75M X 300M using horizontal system. Selection of Horizontal structural systems including load calculation based on Building Codes and Standards(indicative).
3. Structural Analysis and Design to satisfy Building Codes and Standards: Determine the general loads to be considered in the design of the structure, based on the type of occupancy specified for each area.
   1. Gravity loading: Dead and Live load calculation based on IS 875 (Part 1&2)
   2. Seismic loading: Seismic loading calculation based on IS 1893 Code Static Analysis Procedure
   3. Wind loading: Wind loading calculation based on Indian Standard I.S. 875 (Part3).
4. Design of Portal frame Structure System: Design of two-dimensional rigid frames that have a rigid joint between column and beam. General framing arrangement of Portal frame for 75M X 300M building, basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
5. Design of Arch and Vault Structures: Design of curved structural member spanning two points, of masonry, concrete or steel and used as the roofing systems of large span buildings. Design of Arch and Vault arrangement for spanning 75M X 300M building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
6. Design of Dome Structures: Domes as polar arrays of curved structural systems in masonry, concrete, steel with glass cladding, their structural strength and properties as roofing systems of large column-free spans. Design of domes for spanning 75M X 300M building, basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
7. Long Span Planar Truss Design: Triangular structural system; assembly of simple triangular planar trusses. Planar trusses in roofs and bridges. General framing arrangement of Long Span Truss for 75M X 300M building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
8. Vierendeel truss design: Truss design with rectangular or square assembly of members with rigid joints capable of resisting bending moments. General framing arrangement of Vierendeel truss for 75M X 300M building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
9. Cable and Suspension Structures: Design for long-span systems using Cable and suspension systems. Design cable suspended roof to span 75M X 300M building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
10. Space Truss: Design of three dimensional trusses, their structural properties and strength due to three dimensional triangulation. Design of Space Truss roof for spanning 75M X 300M building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
11. Concrete Shell structure design: Design of double curved surfaces formed from warped surface (e.g. hyperbolic parabolic); their properties and strength as light-weight construction for column free large spans. Design of Concrete shell roof to spanning 75M X 300M building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
12. Fabric Structure: Design of membrane structures of thin flexible fabric covers that provide light-weight free-form roofing system. Design of Fabric roof to span 75M X 300M building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.

Note:

1. Minimum one plate on each loading calculation and vertical structural system.
