4 Toilets of approximately 15 sq. m each should be
considered in the ground floor layout. Location of these should be such, that
their distance from display hall, conference hall and reception should be
reasonable.
6. From first to ninth floor (except
fourth), Cubicles of about 9 sq. m each in size, should be neatly
arranged to accommodate seating arrangement of about 250
Middle and Junior Level Executives (each floor) with adequate passage in
between cubicles.. Provision should be made for 8 Chambers

of the plot). At the rear end of the plot there will be a proposed
park.
2. Bearing capacity of the soil is 10
tonnes per square metres at a
depth of 1.5 m below ground level.
GUIDELINES
The following
guidelines are to be followed :
1. Clear headroom for ground floor is to
be considered as 4m. For all other floors this will be taken as 3m.
2. Depth of steel beams/trusses should
not exceed 700mm (excluding floor
beams/trusses supporting first floor).
3.
Design of maximum column free space considering code stipulations will be
given more credit. Maximum depth of the column should not exceed
600mm.
4. Depth of the composite slab should not
be less than 100 mm.
5. Arrangement of air-conditioning and
fire protection need not be shown.
6. Deflection should be within acceptable
limits as per code.
7. Beams, columns, composite slabs and
other scope of work (requiring rigorous design) should be calculated for axial,
bending, shear, bearing and torsional stresses. Equivalent stresses and any
other checks as necessitated by the relevant codes should be carried
out.
8. All outer walls can be of 200mm thick
brickwork. Partition walls and cubicles will be done with the help of framed
RHS/SHS or cold formed sections with colour coated sheets as covering on both
sides of the frame to give an excellent smooth finish, unless otherwise stated.
However, only a typical detail is to be shown. Individual cubicles need not be
shown in the detail drawing. Colour coated sheets may be connected by
self-tapped / self-drilling screws with supporting structures. Stairs and hand
railings may be bolted or welded.
9.
Stairs can be
designed considering stringers of plates/flats with pre-cast concrete as treads/
or completely of steel. Hand railings and posts can be made of steel pipes or
RHS/SHS.
10. For design of steel-concrete composite
slabs grade of concrete should be considered as M25.
The following
scope should be considered for design of the building :
1.
For design of
beams and columns, sections such as ISMB, built-up I section, truss, etc. should
be used. Only one number each of peripheral and interior beams (main and
secondary) and columns should be designed (for stress & deflection check)
for each floor considering the most heavily loaded member under worst
combination. However, analysis should be done for the complete
framework.
2.
Steel-concrete
composite slab (concrete slab over steel beam) for each floor should be designed
taking into account stud/angle/channel shear connectors welded to top flange of
steel beams. Use of troughed profiled sheets, in composite decking floor slab
will be given enhanced credit. Allowable deflection and stress value for the
profiled sheets will be as per manufacturer�s recommendations.
3.
Beam to beam or
column to beam connections should be either bolted (of material grade 6.6 or
above, as per IS: 1367) or welded (fillet or butt type). All bolts should be of
clearance or high strength friction grip type.
4. Truss type space frame supporting
the covering above atrium. Design of stairs and hand
railings.
5. Connection of columns (at ground
level) with concrete foundation.
6. Fatigue calculation, vibration
analysis and foundation
design and details, lift well design are excluded from the scope of
work.
7. Bill of Materials of all the items under
design scope should be submitted in A4 size paper.
Detailed
structural design calculations including connections should be done according to
the following Codes. However, foreign codes may be used where essential
provisions are unavailable in the Indian codes. Additional codes, other than
those mentioned below, can be used provided those pertain to the requirements
mentioned in the brief. Relevant foreign codes may be used, wherever Indian
codes are not specific.
