1.1 General
The main purpose and the objective is to formulate and finalize technical data,
design assumptions, codes of practice, methods and procedures to be
adopted in the structural design of Building at 10-C Liberty Market Lahore.
The structural design of the above mentioned building will be carried out in
accordance with the requirements of the codes and standards issued by the
following:
1.3 Materials
1.3.1 Concrete
a) Blinding
d) Columns
1.4 Durability
The minimum cover from the surface of concrete to the nearest reinforcement
will be provided as below:
1.4.2 Blinding
3 inch thick concrete blinding layer will be placed under all foundations.
1.4.3 Water Proofing
1.5 Loads
The unit weight of building materials as given below as per PBC (1986) will be
considered for the calculation of dead load.
Live Loads are the loads imposed due to the use of occupancy of the building
or structure. These cover all the various situations of loading that may occur
during the life of the structure, and include maintenance loads, exceptional
loads and additional equipment etc.
Live loads to be considered will not be less than the minimum specified in
Table 4-1 of ASCE 7- 05
- Retail Stores
Ground and 1st Floors = 100 lbs/ft2
2nd to 5th Floors = 75 lbs/ft2
- Roof = 30 lbs/ft2
b) Reduction in Live Loads
Members having an influence area of 400 sq. feet or more will be designed for
a reduced live load computed using the following equation, if applicable.
L = Lo (0.25 + 15/√A1)
Where,
L = Reduced design live load per square foot of area supported by the
member.
Lo = Un-reduced design live load per square foot.
A1 = Influence area in square feet.
V = (ZIC/Rw) W
Where,
V = Maximum Base Shear
Z = 0.15 (Zone: 2A of UBC)
I = 1.00
W = Total self weight of structure
Rw = 5.5
S = 3
i) U = 1.4 D + 1.7 L
ii) U = (1.4 D +1.7 L + 1.0 E) x 0.75
iii) U = 0.9 D + 1.0 E
i) ASD = D+L
ii) ASD = (D + L + 0.714 E) x 0.75
The design will be carried out using the Ultimate Strength Design Method
(USD) of American Concrete Institute Code ACI 318.
