Abstract
Structural Analysis is a branch which involves determination of behavior of structures in order to predict the responses of real structures such as buildings, bridges, trusses etc. Structural engineers are facing the challenge of striving for the most efficient and economical design with accuracy in solution, ensuring that the final design of a building must be serviceable for its intended function over its design lifetime. This project attempts to understand the structural behavior of various components in the multi-storeyed building. Thus, the residential building consists of G+2 storeys with a build-up area of 1032 sq.ft. The structure is analyzed by non-linear static analysis using STAAD PRO Vi8 software and the plan is drafted by AUTOCAD 2010. Dead load, Live load, Wind load, Seismic load and Lateral load is manually designed as per the Indian Standard codes (IS 1893 Part-1: 2002). Footings are designed based on Safe Bearing Capacity of soil. Design of Columns, Beams, Slabs, Footings and Staircase is manually designed as per the Indian Standard codes (IS 456-2000) and SP16. From the slabs, the loads are transferred to the beams, thereafter, the loads from the beams are taken up by the columns and then to the footings. The section is checked for the components manually, using STAAD PRO software for the post analysis of structure; maximum shear force, bending moment and storey displacement are computed.
