BFC32802 / BFC 3172 : REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN 2Project instruction:This project must be carried out by group of maximum four or five (4 or 5) members.This project will contribute 20 of coursework mark.1.0IntroductionYour consultant company wins bid to build a multi-story commercial building in Batu Pahat

City Center. An area of 30 m x 20 m has been allocated for the development purpose. As a

team of designer and structural engineer, your group have been appointed to prepare the

design and detail of the building, including a complete report of the following scopes:

a) Description of proposed building and details of project.b) Layout of building for each floor, side and elevation views complete with

location of columns, beams and footings.

c) Analysis of design actions subjected to all probable combinations of loads.d) Design of staircase, frame analysis, columns and foundations.e) Detailingf) Discussion and a clear recommendation of the design.

2.0Details of the projecta) Site

The proposed building will be constructed in Batu Pahat City Center. The

location can be considered as urban area with flat topography, slope < 0.05 and

dense terrain. Other information is shown in the figure below.

b) Design consideration:i. All variable and permanent actions must follow the recommendation of

Eurocode. However, any relevant assumptions can be made to calculate the

wind action.

ii. The number of story is 5 with height of floor is 3.6 m.iii. The dimension of beam and thickness of slab must be designed based on

relevant requirement for the multi-story building.

iv. The distance between two columns must not more than 4m, or 7m ifsupported by secondary beam.

v. Foundation to ground floor has height of 2 m.vi. Any relevant assumptions can be employed, whatever necessary.

3.0Reporta) Report should include the information/parameters, analysis, design and drawing

of structure and structure plan arrangement.

b) Computer drawings using a CAD system are highly encouraged.c) Analysis and design of specific structure should be conducted as scheduled,

which is at 8.0 Schedule.d) A compile report must be submitted upon completing the course.
