1.0 Introduction

For this project, we are to design a two-storey bungalow unit based on the given outlines. The layout of the bungalow should be a combination of two chosen outlines.

We are to frame and design the structural skeleton of the bungalow, then identify the beams and columns in the bungalow design. Then we are to examine and analyze the structure, as well as its load distribution, then calculate the amount of load each beam/column is subjected to. Each member is given six beams and three columns.

Bungalow Introduction

The designed bungalow is two-storey high, and it consists of the following components: one master bedroom with attached bathroom, a minimum of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living hall, dining area and a storeroom.

The chosen outlines:

Formulas

Slab System

Ly/Lx > 2 = One way slab system

Ly/Lx < 2 = Two way slab system

Columns

Beam self-weight = Beam size x Density of reinforced concrete x Length

Slab dead load = Thickness x density of RC (UBBL) x Tributary area

Slab live load = Live load (Room live load factor - UBBL) x Tributary area

Brick wall dead load = Wall height x Wall thickness x Density of bricks (UBBL) x Length

Column self-weight = Width x Length x Height x Density of RC (UBBL)

Beams

Beam self-weight = Beam size x Density of reinforced concrete

Slab dead load = Thickness x density of RC (UBBL) x Lx/2 (for trapezoids)

= Thickness x density of RC (UBBL) x Lx/2 x 2/3 (for triangles)

Slab live load = Live load (Room live load factor - UBBL) x Lx/2 (for Trapezoids)

= Live load (Room live load factor - UBBL) x Lx/2 x 2/3 (for Triangles)

Brick wall dead load = Wall height x Wall thickness x Density of bricks (UBBL)

UBBL Specifications

Live Load

Bedroom = 1.5 kN/m2 Living Room = 4.0 kN/m2

Dining Room = 2.0 kN/m2

Kitchen = 3.0 kN/m2

Corridor = 4.0 kN/m2

Bathroom = 2.0 kN/m2

Study Room = 1.5 kN/m2

Family Area = 2.0 kN/m2

Store Room = 2.5 kN/m2

Dead Load (Structural Materials)

Reinforced Concrete Density = 24kN/m3

Brick Density = 19kN/m3

8.0 Conclusion

By the end of this project, we have come to understand the concept of these structural systems. We are able to identify these structural components based on evidence. We have gained understanding and knowledge on the load distribution paths and structural framings of a building structure.

We learned to identify critical structural members, as well as analyse them. We also learned to quantify the amount of load acting on beams and columns.
