Introduction to Structural System• Building is an assemblage of various
systems such as Infrastructure System,Structural System, M&E System, Security System and etc.
• Structural system – a system that holding the components of a certain system and transfer the load through the members of a structure to provide stability and durability.
Types of Buildings Structural System
Beam and column structural system
The load of the slab is transferred to the columns orwalls through the beams, down to the foundation,and then to the supporting soil beneath

Timber
Reinforced Concrete
• Reinforced concrete is one of the principal materials use in many civilengineering applications.
• Such applications are in construction of buildings and infrastructures,retaining walls, foundations, water retaining structures, highway andbridges.
• Around 70% buildings around the world were constructed using reinforcedconcrete due to reliability and low cost.
• It is a composite material, consisting of steel reinforcing bars embedded in a hardened concrete matrix that have complementary properties.

Reinforced Concrete
• By providing steel bars in thezones within a concrete memberwhich will subjected to tensilestresses, an economical structuralmaterial can be produced throughits composite action.
• In addition, the concrete providescorrosion protection and fireresistance to the embedded steelreinforcing bars.
Main RC elements for building
Reinforced Concrete
• Failure mechanisms of reinforced concrete structure (flexural member):
• Types of cracks:
1)Flexure tension cracks, 2) Flexure compression cracks,
3) Flexure – shear cracks, 4) Diagonal tension cracks,
5) Shear compression cracks, 6) Dowel cracks and
7) Diagonal tension crack from flexure – shear crack.

Steel
• Steel is one of the most important and efficient material forstructural purposes.
• There are a number of inherent characteristics that make steelan ideal construction material; these include its high strength toweight ratio, the weight of steel structure is relatively small.
• This property makes steel a very attractive structural materialfor high rise building and long span girder. Speed of erection isoften one of the main criteria for selecting steel.
• Steel sections used for construction are available in a variety ofshapes and sizes that make it a remarkably versatile and anaesthetically pleasing material.

Timber
• The wood which is suitable or fit for engineering construction orstructural purpose is called timber.
• The use of timber as a structural material is not new, in fact datingback many centuries.

Structural elements
• Structural timber design in Malaysia is according to MS 544 –Permissible stress design.
• Design consideration:• Density
• Strength group (SG1 – SG7)
• Moisture content • > 19 % - Wet
• < 19 % - Dry
• Timber defect • Seasoning defect
• Natural defect

Structural Design
The basic requirements of structural design:
A process of determination of reliable structural system, selection of suitable materials and obtaining theoptimum member sizes for the structure to be built. The aim of structural design is to ensure that the structureperforms satisfactorily during its design life.
1) Function and aesthetic
• The arrangement of space, span, ceiling height, access ability, and traffic flow must complement the intended use.
2) Safety and reliability
• A structure must be strong enough to support all anticipated loadings safely and it must not deflect, overturn, tilt,vibrate or crack in any manner that impairs its usefulness.
3) Economy and cost effective
• The overall cost of the structure should not exceed the client’s budget. The designer should take into account not onlythe cost of materials, but also the buildability, construction time, cost of temporary structures required and cost ofmaintenance.
4) Maintainability and sustainability
• A structure should be designed to require minimum maintenance and be able to be maintained with ease.
Code of Practice
• Developed started from 1975.
• Effectively replaced the currentBritish Standard since 2010.
• Claimed to be the most technicallyadvanced structural codes in theworld.
• Resulted in more economicstructures, Logical and organizedto avoid repetition.
• Less restrictive and moreextensive than existing codes.
• There are ten (10) Eurocodescovering all the main structuralmaterials.

• Principles - Clauses that are general statements, definitions, requirements andanalytical models. They are identified by (P) after the clause number.
• Characteristic value – The characteristic values are denoted by subscript ‘k’ (e.g.Qk etc).
• Design values - These refer to representative values modified by partial factors.They are denoted by subscript ‘d’ (e.g. fcd = fck/γc ; Qd = γ Q Qk).
• Action (F) - Set of forces, deformations or accelerations acting on the structure.
• Permanent actions (G) – Permanent load (Dead load).
• Variable actions (Q) - Actions whose magnitude will vary with time (e.g. windloads, imposed load).
Code of Practice
EUROCODE Terminology
• The design method of EC is based on limit state principles which thestructure should not become unfit for use as well as should not reach alimit state during its intended life.
Limit State Design
Deals with the strength and stability of the structureunder the maximum design load it is expected to carry.
Ultimate Limit State (ULS)
Deals with the conditions beyond service requirementare no longer met such as excessive deflection andcracking.
Serviceability Limit State (SLS)
• Given in MS EN 1990: Cl. 2.3. The values for design life as presented in the Malaysian National Annex to EC are shown below.
Design Working Life
• There are 4 basic design situations that can be considered.
Design Situation
Design situations Definition
Persistent These situations refer to the condition of normal use, which generally
relate to the design working life.
Transient These situations refer to temporary conditions, such as during
execution or repair.
Accidental These situations refer to exceptional condition such as during fire,
explosion or impact.
Seismic These situations refer to exceptional conditions applicable to the
structure when subjected to seismic events.
▪ Exposure classes related to environmental condition
Exposure Condition
Actions
• EC terminology for loads and imposed deformations.
• The characteristic actions are the actual loads that the structure isdesigned to carry.
• The characteristic actions used in design and defined in EC2 are asfollows;
▪ Characteristic permanent action, Gk
▪ Characteristic variable action, Qk
▪ Characteristic wind action, Wk
Actions
• Is the selfweight of the structure, weight of finishes, ceiling andservices. Examples of weight of materials as given in EC1 are shownin table below.
Characteristic permanent action, Gk
Materials Density (kN/m3)
Lightweight concrete 9.0 – 20.0
Normal weight concrete 24.0 – 25.0
Cement mortar 19.0 – 23.0
Wood 3.5 – 10.8
Plywood 4.5 – 7.0
Particle boards 7.0 – 12.0
Steel 77.0 – 78.5
Water 10.0
▪ Cause by people, furniture, equipment etc. Which variation inmagnitude with time is considered.
▪ Example of variable action as given in EC1 are shown in table below:
Actions
Characteristic variable action, Qk
▪ In order to account for variation in loads due to:
• Errors in the analysis and design
• Constructional inaccuracies
• Possible load increases
▪ The characteristic loads Fk (Gk,Qk,Wk) are multiplied by the appropriate partialsafety factor for loads γf to give the design action acting on the structure.
▪ Value of γf are given in
EN 1990: Annex A1

• In the EC the term ‘combination of actions’ is specifically used for the definitionof the magnitude of actions to be used when a limit state is under the influenceof different actions.
• It should not be confused with ‘load cases’, which are concerned with thearrangement of the variable actions to give the most unfavourable conditions.
• The following process can be used to determine the value of actions used foranalysis:• Identify the design situation (e.g. persistent, transient, accidental).
• Identify all realistic (characteristic) actions.
• Determine the partial factors for each applicable combination of actions.
Maximum action = 1.35Gk + 1.50Qk Minimum action = 1.35Gk
• Arrange the combined actions to produce the most critical conditions.
