STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF KHWOPA HOSPITAL

Abstract

This report entitled as “Structural Analysis and Design of Khwopa Hospital” is completely based on final year project work to fulfill the requirement of course syllabus prescribed to Bachelors’ Degree in Civil Engineering by Institute of Engineering (IOE). The main objective of the project work is to achieve the level of knowledge and practical understanding required to analyze and design structures. The project is intended for the structural analysis and design of commercial buildings. The project incorporates all the stages of structural analysis and design through determination of loading parameters, preliminary design of the structural members, structural analysis and detailed design. Loads on the building have been determined using respective IS Codes and they have been distributed accordingly. Preliminary design consists of assessment of the dimensions of structural members such as beams, slabs, shear wall and columns. Preliminary dimensions have been determined using basic building dimensions and provisions in the IS Codes. Structural Analysis deals with analyzing the internal forces developed in the structural members as a result of different kinds of loading such as dead loads, live loads, earthquake load. It also deals with sizing various members of the structures to resist the internal forces to which they are subjected during their effective life span.
