Hello All,
I have a RCC building structure with isolated footing (considered fixed support) and combined footing (with 2 or More columns) model with plate mesh with sub-grade.
What shall be the correct approach for handling two different foundation support conditions of building model in staad-pro.
Option -1 – Provide fixed-but support to isolated footing column ends with spring value calculated by footing area (after first trial run), SBC and allowable settlement and for plate mesh support shall be elastic mat with SBC/ allow settlement.

APPENDIX A-1, IRC SP 114 2018 shows an illustrative example for calculating seismic forces through three cases. In case 1, elastomeric bearings are used. In the calculations, elastomeric bearing stiffness is used to calculated time period. Further during seismic force calculations, R is considered 3.0. Why is the R value taken as 3.0 here ? As per Cl 4.2.4 Notes (iii) R shall be considered 1.0. Someone may please clarify.
Hi Dera Sefindia Users,
Hai friends,
I am design a slab for a span of 6.21 m X 5.18 m. The edge condition is one short edge discontinuous. A 9 inch wall of 3.3m height is located at the center of the slab along the longer direction.
The total of partion and Floor finish load is 2.5 kN/m2.
I have provided 150mm thick slab thickness, Y 10 @ 175mm c/c in the shorter direction and Y 10 @ 200mm C/C in the longer direction,
The deflection of the slab is safe.
My question is
1)Concealed beam can be provided at the location of the wall.
2) Concealed beam may be (230 x 150 mm)
Dear Sir,
Great to Learn knowledge from here about Civil Engineering. I am facing design problem as to provide a cantilever of FB104 which 11'4" need to support another beam. The beam is like this. The architect was told to remove the rounded column. How can we design that large cantilever beam (3.5M).
a group of pile stand in same pile cap. the piles are in four rows in a pile cap. 2 row piles are driven easily without any problem...but the piles near by existing building should not driven easily...because it create more vibration due to driven....
sefindia members,
i want design calculation street light pole foundation design
How to calculate the foundation load at the top of the circular shaft for horizontal axis wind turbine due to different capacity-any reference.
I have uploaded a file GF plan and FF plan. There is extension of existing GF slab on right and front side of the building and columns are taken at specific interval on both right & front side of the building(Please check the drawing). Existing GF is load bearing and there will be one more story above it. My query is, how will be the connection between existing slab & new slab.
Dear Sir,
I have doubt in Etabs Column design compare to manual design check. what is differnece b/w Etab and manual design of column.
Dear all
This is my first time to post in sefindia. I learn so many thinks from this platform.
I am Confusion with result of boundary element Design in etabs Model and manual design of boundary element as par IS Code 13920 2016
Etabs give Boundary Element size by this equation
Pleft = p/2+Mu/(Lw-0.5*B1left0.5*B1right)
or
(Pright = p/2-Mu/(Lw-0.5*B1left0.5*B1right)
and reinforcement is near about 3.5 % to 4% in Boundary element.
But When I design as per IS Code 13920 2016 Annex-A, Boundary Element size is very less as compare to etabs result.

Hello,
Can anyone help me understand the design of a composite structural steel beam using an example?
I have to check if I can add an additional floor to an existing steel building and all the secondary members have failed(I use STAAD.Pro).
Since STAAD.Pro does not support composite design for IS code, I was wondering if anyone could help me understand design of composite construction.
Thanks and regards,
Arun Kumar

Dear All,
As per IS 1893-2014 (part 4), clause 5, seismic combination has to be checked for SLS case with DBE (Design Basis EQ)& MCE for ULS. Can any one please explain me why this clause is introduce in this code. In 1893-Part1 there is no clause like this. We used DBE only for ULS design i.e., zone factor by 2 (Z/2).
As per IRC-6 Table 3.2 load combination, EQ force is not to be considered for SLS check.

It is assumed that torsional cracking will occur when the principal tension
stress reaches the tensile strength of the concrete in biaxial tension-compression.
Can Anyone explain these in detail?
As i am new to designing field i cant design steel reinforcemnt details so i request for steel design of an autocad pdf file.
How flat slab with shear connector can be designed?
We always have a conflict between the engineers and architects and also contractors that which type of staircase to adopt. Whether it should be a waist slab type of staircase or folding type. May I request all sefians to put some light and give there opinions considering the different aspects.
While designing single angle per IS code in STAAD pro software, the output report shows design based on principle axis for which the angle design qualifies. However when the same design is performed in STAAD per AISC 360-10 code, the output report shows design based on geometric axis for which the angle design does not qualify. Please clarify if geometric design needs to be considered for AISC/IS codes and why the STAAD design report based on IS code does not design as per geometric axis and designs only considering principle axis.
I am a student of mtech structural engineering. I am in 2nd year and there is project in this year I request you to please suggest me the topics related to concrete as soon as possible its my humble request to u.
3.5.5 While investigating the effect of earthquake forces, the resulting effect from dead loads of all cranes parked in each bay, positioned to cause maximum effect shall be considered.
the above clause is from IS800 -2007. can we understand while performing earthquake analysis the lifing load (say crane capacity 40ton) of crane need not be lumped in earth quake mass is correct or wrong.
please clarify
Is it feasible to use steel wraps in Fibre reinforced concrete ?? I have to do a project on FRC, so i was thinking can i use steel wraps as a fibre in FRC ??

Dear Sefians,
I am the recent member of sefi, I have some issues to discuss,
1. How to model a primary beam in staad without splitting in to elements at the points of secondary beams?I observed that the manual calculation for deflection of beam is not matching with the results of staad, and more ever Bending moment and shear force diagrams are not matching.Can any one please give me the solution for this.
Hi everyone i have to design a simple supporting structure for 200trp cooling tower ..i have considered all the loads and the loads include the water upto a depth of 0.4m on the roof..with 0.1m free board. we have provided RCC parapet wall..my doubt is whether i have to design the base that is the roof slab according to iS3370 or like a normal slb is sufficient because the water depth is 0.4m.please give the suggetions
In calculation of blast loads we will obtain the blast pressure as per TM-5-1300.Can any one suggest the method that how to convert the blast pressure to equivalent static pressure..
Dear All,
I am designing a silo of 100M^3. Stainless steel is the material used for the plates for roof, shell, and hopper. Mild steel is the material for below the hopper and shell joint. The material stored is plastic resin with density 700 kg/m^3.
I am following IS 9178 (Part I, II, & III) for design. I have few questions for you.
1. Is this code applicable for stainless steel material? If not, which code shall be followed?
2. Is it must to keep minimum hopper slope of 60 degree (Part I page no. 17)?

Dear Engineers,
We have a footing supporting four columns which are at random positions. How do we approach for design of such footing. It is appreciable, if we can get a standard method to solve this problem.
The thing is when we analyse the system (using plates and providing sub grade stiffness) in staad, we have abnormal results of Mxy ranging more than 541kNm.
Dear all Sefi members,
I have developed a excel spreadsheet for design of steel beam & column as per IS 800-2007. I want sefi members to go through this spreadsheet and give their observations. I have developed this spreadsheet to check the results of staad and also for understanding the new code. I have attached the spreadsheet below.

Respected Sir,
Dear respondent I’ am T.SHARMILA studying M.E (Construction Engineering & Management) at Kongu Engineering College, Perundurai, Tamilnadu. I would like to conduct the survey on “Study on improving project productivity with modular construction.”
Respected Sir,
I have modelled water tank (10Lx5Wx5mH)using FEM in staad .
My doubt is in the Verical moment of the long wall for 'water pressure'.it does not match the moment I have calculated manually using IS3370.
However the moment values for the soil pressure are matching for both my manual calculation and FEM .
Hi,
I am trying to find the allowables (tension and shear) for a bent rebar used to anchor a cable to the top of a concrete pile.
I couldn't find any direction in the IS code for that.
In the meantime, I used the allowables for bolts, but I am hoping to get a higher allowable for the bent rebar.
Thanks for your help
