It has become the agenda to use the bottom storey as the parking area in the multi-storey buildings and it has been quite a disturbance caused by RCC columns occupying more while projecting down to the ground. To get rid of this disturbance and for the aesthetic appearance, the number of columns in the bottom storey has to be reduced so that number of the footing will also get reduced. To achieve this, the five-storey RCC framed structure of plan area 30m X 33m which is assumed to be situated in Chennai with each storey height of 4m is modelled in STAAD Pro software in the way that the loads from the four columns present in the ends of each room will be transferring to the single-column placed in the centre of each room at the bottom storey. Then the necessary loads such as Gravity loads, Seismic loads, Wind loads, and software-generated automatic load combinations were applied to the generated model and the analysis was carried out. Similarly, the conventional model of the same plan was also analyzed by STAAD Pro software with the same set of load cases, and a comparative study of structural parameters such as bending moment, shear force, and deflection was done. Finally, both the models were designed as per IS code and Cost analysis between the two models was carried out.
Analysis and design of the structure are the most critical steps in the pre-construction steps involved. Nowadays, as technology is well developed, there is plenty of software available to carry over the analysis and design of any structures in a short period. In every software, the building model with all storey will be modelled, and loads are applied to the modelled structure on respective members, and their responses will be studied for the whole structure. But in reality, the building will be constructed in sequence as a step-by-step process, i.e., storey after storey with their respective loads, which may produce different responses. This analysis with sequential loading at each step is called Construction Sequence Analysis (CSA). In the present project work, the ten-storey setback building with a built-up area of 25m x 30m placed on the slope of 10°, assumed to be situated in Darjeeling, is modelled in ETABS software. The loads, namely gravity and lateral loads are applied to the developed model. Then the model is analyzed for different loads and their combinations as prescribed by IS codes. The combinations that produce high response are selected and dead load in those combinations are replaced with three modes: CSA without P-Delta effect, CSA with P-Delta effect, and CSA with P-Delta and Time-dependent effects combined. Thus the model is analyzed with these three additional combinations along with selected conventional load combinations. The various comparisons such as storey displacement, and storey drift between these four combinations of analysis were studied, and results were discussed. The building design is also done based on the analysis performed.
