Reinforced concrete building design project: project based learning / Muhammad Danish Akmal Khalid

In conclusion for this project, it is really crucial to have a guideline when designing and constructing a building. Based on the guideline from the UBBL its focusing on the fire safety regulations which is important for all construction so that any accident can be reduce to the minimum effect to the current building and surrounding area and also keep the residential occupants safe. Any constructions company that did not obey the guideline will be subjected to a harsh action by the authority so that the construction company will take it seriously because it involved people life. It is sure the construction that following the UBBL guideline is guarantee safety of the occupant. To achieve a safe building, the design of the building also be taking consideration. A proper design layout need to be draw. As for this project, we been provide an architectural drawing from the company we apply the drawing from. From the architectural drawing we come out with structural key plan to determine the slab, beam, column, staircase and pad footing placement and making a design calculation to determine the properties of slab, beam, column, staircase and pad footing. This is applied to the real situation which is architecture come out with architectural drawing and engineer come out with the structural key plan and calculated the design. From this project, the critical slab are a two way slab which will given four value of moment on each side and shear force. The beam for this project been calculated as flanged beam. This is due to critical slab been taken on the first floor level and it cater high load that needed to design the beam as flanged. The column design are short column which it is normal for reinforced concrete design. Staircase design come out with flight and landing calculation because of the stairs are supported by landing. Lastly, the pad footing achieve size 2m x 2m that passed the GBP and punching shear value given valid design. Lastly, the taking-off and bill of quantities been prepared to get the estimation of cost of the structure designed. The last step for this project are designing the project using the Prokon software and excel spreadsheet. Prokon software are used to design the slab, beam and column and excel spreadsheet are for the foundation and staircase. The data from the software then been compared to manual calculation and been justified if the percentage different are more than 30%.
