This paper contains RCD3700 (Reinforced Concrete Design IV) project 2024. All structural elements (slabs, beams, columns and footing) were designed to SANS10100. DISTINCTION GUARANTEED
Structural building engineering is primarily driven by creative manipulation of materials and
forms and the underlying mathematical and scientific ideas to achieve an end that fulfils its
functional requirements and is structurally safe when subjected to loading.
1.1 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The project focuses on analysis and design of a three -storey office building. The method to be
used in this project is Limit State Design and it involves estimating the subjected loads on a
structure, choosing the sizes of members to check, and selecting the appropriate design criteria.
Limit state design requires that two principal criteria are satisfied: Ultimate limit state and
Serviceability limit state.
Support: m = -0.050 x 12.36 x 3.85 2 = -9.16 kN/m2
Long span direction
Mid span: m = 0.024 x 12.36 x 3.85 2 = 4.40 kN/m2
Support: m = -0.032 x 12.36 x 3.85 2 = -5.86 kN/m2
Assume use of Y16 bars, d = 200 – 25 -16/2 = 167 mm
