STRUCTURAL PLANNING OF R.C BUILDINGS
• Positioning and orientation of columns
• Positioning of beams
• Spanning of slabs
• Layout of staircase
• Selecting proper type of footing
`

Positioning and orientation of columns
• Near the corner of building
• At the intersection of beams/walls
• Avoid projection of column outside wall
• Depth of the column is contained with major axis
• Avoid larger centre to centre distance between column
• column on property line

Columns
• Axial column
• Biaxial column
• Uniaxial column

Positioning of beams
• Under the wall
• Avoid lager span of beam
• Avoid lager spacing of from deflection and cracking criteria
• Generally beam carrying live load up to 4 kN/m2 may be limited up
Beam type cantilever simply supported fixed/continues
Rectangle 3m 6m 8m
Flanged 5m 10m 12m

Beam
• Under reinforced
• Balanced reinforced
• Over reinforced

Spanning of slab
• Generally economical compared to one way slab along with both
with spans
• Two way advantages large span greater than 3m live load greater than
3kN/m2
• Decide type of slab

Slabs
• Yield line theory
• One way slab
• Two way slab

Practical size of members

Selecting proper type of footing
• Carried by column and bearing capacity of the supporting soil
• Drill holes and trial pits should be taken and in situ plate load test (for big
projects)
• Black cotton soils great depth pile foundation
• Columns are very closely spaced and bearing capacity of the soil is low raft
foundation alter choice
• Boundary line a combined footing or strap footing provided

Loads and material
• Dead load
• Live load
• Impact load
• Wind load
• Earthquake load

Live load
Education building
• Class room 3.0 kN/m2
• Dinning rooms 3.0+kN/m2
• Offices staff rooms 2.5 kN/m2
• Store room 5 kN/m2
• Passages corridors 4 kN/m2
