OUTLINE

1. Introduction of High Rise Structures.
2. Introduction to the Structural design Project: Design for a 10 story building of dimension 30m X 30m [Suggested Dimension], 35 meter height, 10m X 10m column grid and with service core in the central bay. Calculation of building loads load calculation based on the IS 875 and seismic loads and wind loads and design of gravity and lateral systems.
3. Gravity loading: Dead and Live load calculation based on IS 875 (Part 1)and NBC.
4. Seismic loading: Seismic loading calculation based on IS 1893 Code; Static Analysis Procedure .
5. Wind loading: Wind loading calculation based on Indian Standard I.S. 875 (Part 3).
6. Introduction to Lateral Load Resisting System: The structural systems of buildings designed to withstand lateral loads caused by wind and seismic activity.
7. Moment resisting frame design: Design of Moment-resisting 2-dimensional frame assemblies of beams and columns, with the beams rigidly connected to the columns. General moment resisting framing arrangement and sizing and design of beams, columns and slabs for 30m X 30m [Suggested Dimension], 35 meter high building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
8. Shear Wall System: Design of Shear walls as lateral load resistance structural systems. Application of lateral loads along the height, transference to the wall by diaphragm slabs in concrete or masonry. General Shear wall framing arrangement and sizing and design of beams, columns/ shear wall and slabs for 30m X 30m [Suggested Dimension], 35 meter high building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
9. Dual System: Design of twin structural system typically shear walls (RCC) and beamcolumn moment frames as combined resistance system to lateral forces. General Dual framing arrangement and sizing and design of beams, columns/ shear wall and slabs for 30m X 30m [Suggested Dimension], 35 meter high building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
10. Braced frame: Design of lateral structural system to resist lateral loads (wind and seismic). Braced frames as vertical trusses with members designed to resist in tension and compression due to triangulation in steel or RCC. General Braced frame arrangement for 30m X 30m [Suggested Dimension], 35 meter high building, and basic load path and total structural weight calculation.
11. Introduction to underground structures: RCC retaining walls and water tanks, calculation of forces on vertical walls.

Note:

1. Minimum one plate on each loading calculation and vertical structural systems.
2. This course should desirably be conducted involving consulting engineers and architects.
