STRUCTURAL DESIGN PARAMETERS:

1.1 Geotechnical Report:
Allowable Bearing Capacity of Soil:
As per Geo-Technical Report

1.2 Seismic Load & Applicable UBC Code:

The structure is analyzed and designed by using ETAB 9.7.0
automatically generated seismic Zone 2A classified by UBC 1997.

1.3 Structural Planning System:

The building under consideration is designed as per Ordinary Moment
Resisting Frame (OMRF) according to ACI-318-08 and UBC-97. The floor
system adopted for the building is Edge supported flat slab without
intermediate Beams carrying the gravity and lateral loads additionally.
Columns are supported on Strip foundation.

2. Material Strengths:
Reinforcing: Reinforcement Grade 60 Deformed Bars with minimum Yield
Steel Strength of 60 ksi & minimum ultimate strength of 90 ksi as
per ASTM A-615

Concrete: For all R.C.C works

fc’ = 3000 psi (28 days Cylinder Crushing Strength)

3. Loadings:
Typical Floor Loadings
Dead Loads:
As per architectural finishes
Partition Wall Load
Dead Load = according to size and numbers of wall
Slab self Weight = (Automatically generated by ETABS)
Live Load
Live Load = 50 psf
Typical Roof Loadings
Dead Loads:
As per architectural finishes
Slab self Weight = (Automatically generated by ETABS)
 Live Load
Live Load on Roof Floor = 40 psf
