POWERHOUSE
Structure Design:
The superstructure of powerhouse is an open-air surface building of reinforced c
oncrete frame construction with infill of concrete hollow block masonry and ligh
tweight steel construction for roof system. The substructure is a massive concre
te structure built in open pit construction.
Structural analysis of powerhouse frame is done by structural design software SAP
-2000 .
Analysis of Superstructure Frame:
The analysis of the structure was carried out to check the stress in beams, colu
mns and slabs and to limit within the permissible stress.
The following conditions were taken in the analysis.

Earthquake Loading:
The horizontal earthquake loading was calculated for the following seismic coeff
icient
KH = 0.15*g
The loading combinations were applied as per ACI-318-95
Structure Modeling and Boundary Condition:
Analysis of Sub-structure:
In the analyses following parameters were considered:
?
Coefficient for active horizontal earth pressure component in normal con
dition: 0.50
?
Coefficient for active horizontal earth pressure component in earthquake
condition:0.60
Live loads in floors were taken as follows:
?
1. Erection area: 50.00 KN/ sq.m
?
2. Turbine floor: 15.00 KN/sq.m
?
3. Machine Hall: 15.00 KN/sq.m
?
4. Generator floor: 15.00 KN/sq.m
?
5. Store Room: 15.00 KN/sq.m
?
6. Live load for Staircase: 5.00 KN/sq.m
?
7. Self weight of floor finishes: 24.00KN/sq.m
?
8. Self weight of concrete hollow block Wall: 22.00 KN/sq.m
?
The computer program SAP 2000 was used for the analysis applying the Fin
ite Element Method.
