DESIGN AND CALCULATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF A 4-STOREY REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDING 2

 General introduction

The realization of a building project requires various studies carried out by

design offices with a fairly respectable experience. The sizing of
Load-bearing elements must be calculated and constructed carefully to support all the
estimated charges for construction, and this according to a technique suited to each
nature of construction to avoid any litigation or misestimation of the project that
that can be at the origin of these serious disorders of masonry.
The field of construction is broad enough that we can detail and study it.
In a complete manner, we are limited in this report to studying the sizing.

DESIGN AND CALCULATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF A 4-STOREY BUILDING IN REINFORCED CONCRETE 3

 1- INTRODUCTION

This work involves the study of a building with 4 floors above ground for residential and commercial use, it
consists of two main parts:

the pre-sizing and calculation of secondary elements;

the reinforcement of the main elements (columns, beams, slabs, foundations).

All calculations are carried out in accordance with the applicable regulations, namely:

BAEL 91

2- BUILDING PRESENTATION

This is a building intended for residential use with shops on the ground floor.
The building has 5 levels. The first is reserved for shops while the other four
current levels are exclusively for residential use.

Dimensions of the work in plan

The dimensions of the building in question

are: Longitudinal direction L = 30 m

Transversal dimension l = 11.8 m

Dimensions of the work in elevation

The different heights are:

Height ground floor h 4.08m R
Current level height hC =3.06m
Total height of the building H= 16,32m

The cement used will be of class CPA325, the dosage is 350Kg/ 3

The characteristic compressive strength of concrete at 28 days will be 25 MPa

The steels used are as follows

High adherence steels FeE500 for the reinforcement of soles, slabs,
longitudinal reinforcements of the columns and beams;
Smooth round steels FeE215 for the transverse reinforcements of the girders and the
beams;

Which gives: = 1.5 Mpa

The values of the sections of the load-bearing elements will be determined in the chapter
next.

Before carrying out the descent of the loads, it is necessary to be able to estimate the self-weight of the
structure, hence the necessity for a preliminary sizing of the components of the floor.

This stage is governed by empirical laws derived from experience. This stage
represents the starting point and the basis for the justification of resistance, stability and
durability of the structure. To do this, we begin the preliminary sizing of the
summit towards the base:
The floors;
The beams;
The poles;
The soles;

Below are some formulas that allow us to get an order of magnitude of the
dimensions of load-bearing elements.

 1- PRE-DIMENSIONING OF THE FLOOR

The floor is a separation between two levels that transmits the loads and the
surcharges directly applied to bearing elements while ensuring
comfort functions such as sound insulation, thermal insulation, and airtightness of levels
extremes.

The thickness of the floors often depends more on the conditions of use than on
Resistance checks. Also, the thickness of the floors is deduced from the conditions.
following:

/ < < / (Deformation condition)

We take = , we find: < < The hollow body floor

will consist of 16 cm thick hollow blocks and a 5 cm thick compression slab

2- PRE-DIMENSIONING OF BEAMS:

The beams are internal elements that are not exposed to the weather, these
the last ones are solicited by bending moments that will determine the reinforcements
longitudinal and shear forces that will determine the transverse reinforcements,
the normal effort being neglected.

The preliminary sizing of the beams is given by the following empirical formulas:

0.3b < b < 0.7b

For a range of 400 cm, we obtain:

Then we take: = And B =

The poles are pre-sized under vertical loads only, that is N the force. u

 1- DIMENSIONING OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS:

1.1. Sizing of the columns:

a) Calculation assumptions:

The poles are structural elements that are generally vertical.

and are intended to transmit the gravitational loads from the floors to
the foundation system, and in the case of a typical building they do not intervene
not to the bracing of the structure, they are therefore calculated using the method
flat-rate BAEL according to the following assumptions:

Limited thrust (λ < 70)

Concentrated normal effort
Justification according to the ELUR only.

b) Flat-rate method of the BAEL:

Calculation parameters:

. Minimum radius of gyration :

Is a geometric characteristic of the section: = √

Minimal quadratic moment of the section.

In the case of rectangular sections:

The steel section necessary to balance the effort N acting

Load descent:
Load descent involves calculating the resulting normal forces from the effect of the
vertical loads on the vertical supporting elements from the terrace to the foundations.

For a section of the post (40x40) and knowing the surface area of the floor
taken over by the neighboring intermediate pole of the bank (the most loaded) we will calculate the

 Conclusion

This project has helped us a lot to put into practice all our
knowledge acquired during our engineering training cycle,
to deepen our knowledge based on technical documents and
even application of regulations and certain methods, to put in
evidence some basic principles that must be taken into consideration in the
design of reinforced concrete structures, thus establishing close links with the
professional world. The fact of handling a real project of considerable scale.

To conclude, regarding the study of a real project in the field of

building, it should be noted that the calculation methods used to establish a pre
more or less accurate sizing of load-bearing elements, do not allow
Finding the desirable results is a very long calculation; it requires
a lot of details, that's why the return to computerized methods
turns out to be very important.
