EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
                                                                 iv
This report focuses on structural design of commercial truss building located at Dhangadhi. It
summarizes design assumption, methodology and follows up of codes and standards for the
building with proper consideration of the earthquake resistant design criteria following the
Nepal National Building Code and Indian Standard Code 2016.
The primary objective of the project is to analyze and design the structural elements of the
buildings based on NBC and Indian standards. The seismic coefficient method is adopted to
analyze the earthquake response of the building.
Finite element analysis showed that the anticipated performance of the buildings subjected to
the design earthquake meets NBC code seismic hazard level requirement for building. The
building response for drift, displacement are also calculated.
The building is designed to complying the guidelines and the Nepali standards.
Story drifts are within the acceptable limits under DBE level earthquakes.
** The structural design is carried on the architectural drawing provided. This report solely emphases and
confines itself to technical aspects of the building and does not comment on other aspects of the building.

                                      1    Introduction
The design of the structure is a sequential and iterative process. It has been gone through the
provided architectural drawing so as the basic structural system is worked out as accordingly.
The scope of the work is to perform structural analysis and design of this building and to
generate Structural drawing. The effort has been made to analyze and generate design sheets
and drawings.
The basic aim of the structural design is to build a structure, which is safe, fulfilling the
intended purpose during its estimated life span (50 years), economical in terms of initial and
maintenance cost, durable and also maintaining a good aesthetic appearance. A structure is
considered to be structurally sound, if the individual elements and the structure as a whole
satisfy the criteria for strength, stability and serviceability and in seismic areas additional
criteria for ductility and energy absorption capabilities. The overall structure must be strong
enough to transfer all loads through the structure to the ground without collapsing or loosing
structural integrity by rupture of the material at the critical sections, by transformation of the
whole or parts into mechanisms or by instability. This strength criterion is valid for all loads
that will normally be applied to the structure during its lifetime. The concern is needed for the
structure to have structural integrity. For load transfer mechanism, loads applied in the
structure are transferred from slab to beam, beam to column and from column to safely to
foundation. In high risk seismic areas, structures should be ductile and capable of dissipating
energy through inelastic actions.
Earthquakes occur due to the vibration of the earth’s surface caused by waves originating
from a source of disturbance inside the earth mass. The cause of vibration may be volcanic
eruption, tectonic activity, landslides, rock falls or even manmade explosions. Although, they
last for few seconds only, they may be the most destructive ones.
During an earthquake, ground motion occurs in a random fashion in all directions. These
ground motions cause structures to vibrate and induce inertial forces on them. Thus structure
located in such locations need to be suitably designed and detailed so as to counteract these
   forces. During the shaking event, the level of damage should be such that it can be
   economically repaired. The main philosophy of seismic design is, therefore, to obtain a no
   collapse structure rather than no damage structure.
   Therefore, structures have to be ductile and capable of dissipating energy through inelastic
   actions. Ductility can be achieved by avoiding brittle modes of failures. Brittle modes of
   failures include, shear and bond failure.

2.1   Architectural configuration of Building
The building to be analyzed and designed here is a one-storied building with truss
arrangement proposed to be constructed at Dhangadhi. The building description is presented
in figure below
                                             3
Dhangadhi and it belongs to the higher seismic risk zone V.As per NBC the sesmic factor of
0.4 is taken
                                            4
                               3   Numerical modeling
The building is modeled in a tool SAPv22. SAP is Finite Element based tool which analyze
the structure from the connectivity of joints, frames. The structural members i.e. Column,
beams, are modeled as a frame member with node to node connectivity..The support condition
at the base is idealized as a fixed support. The moment release at the beam/column joints is
neglected.

The design Steel structural members include selection of material properties (grade of steel
and concrete), shape and size of cross section, factor of safety. The design of Steel Structural
members are carried out using limit state method as per IS 800: 2007. For Seismic Resistant
design the codes NBC2077 has been used. The limit state method is the modern and latest
design methodology. This method evolved around 1970’s. Limit state method is based on the
concept of multiple safety factors and attempts to provide adequate safety at the ultimate loads
and adequate serviceability at service loads. For the design of the members, IS 800:2007 and
design aid SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, SP5, SP6 has been used. Footings have been checked only for
vertical loads developed at the base due to service loads. Note that all welding works shall
confirm to IS 816 and IS 9595
Beams, Columns, been designed using SAP and Foundations are designed manually. Samples
of manual design calculation of critical beam, column, footings are shown in this report in
Annex-II: Sample Design Calculations. The structural design of sections and reinforcements
are presented in the drawing.

The analysis and design were carried out using state-of-the-art analyses tools and procedures
with a special emphasis on the effects due to earthquakes. Linear static method is adopted to
calculate earthquake forces. The response of the building and its main structural components
were evaluated against the design basis earthquake for the specified seismic hazards.
The following conclusions can be drawn from this analysis:
1. The building is designed to complying the guidelines and the Indian standards along with
National Building Code.
2. Story drifts are within the acceptable limits under DBE level earthquakes.
