This document outlines a group project to analyze the structure of a designed 2-story bungalow. It includes the architectural plans, structural plans, design specifications, and individual analysis of beams and columns by group members. The group designed the bungalow layout, skeleton structure, and slab systems. Each member then analyzed 6 beams under different loads and 3 columns from roof to foundation. The conclusion determines the columns can withstand up to 1742.4kN of load based on the specified dimensions and material properties.

INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT
For Project 2, in a group of 3, we are required to design a 2 storeys bungalow using
a combination of building layouts shown in category A and B. The bungalow consists
of the following spaces:
1. Living Room
2. Study Room
3. M&E Room
4. Storage
5. Dining Area
6. Audio Room
7. Kitchen (Dry & Wet)
8. Toilets
9. Laundry Area
10.Reading Room
11.Lounge
12.Bedrooms
13.Balcony
14.Car Porch
15.Stairs
Then, we are required to design the skeleton of the building by producing the
structural plans of the bungalow. From there, structural analysis are carried out by us
in which each of us have to analyze 6 beams with different types of load and 3
columns that support the roof to the foundation level.
Below shown is the building layout chosen by us from Category A and Category B:

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Height of the Floors: 3m
Brick wall Thickness: 0.15m
Reinforced Concrete Slab Thickness: 0.15m
Reinforced Concrete Beam Size:
- Primary : 0.20m x 0.30m
- Secondary : 0.15m x 0.30m
Reinforced Concrete Column Size: 0.30m x 0.30m
Foundation Pad Footing: 1.2m x 1.2m
Reinforced Concrete Density: 24kN/m³
Brick Wall Density: 19kN/m³
Concrete Slab Self Weight: 3.6kN/m²
Slab system
Ly/Lx ≥ 2 (One Way Slab System)
Ly/Lx < 2 (Two Way Slab System)
Beam Calculation
Beam Self Weight
= beam size x density of reinforced concrete
Brick Wall Self Weight
= wall height x thickness x density of bricks
Slab Dead Load
- Triangular
= thickness x density of reinforced concrete x Lx/2 x 2/3
- Trapezoid
= thickness x density of reinforced concrete x Lx/ 2
Slab Live Load
- Triangular
= Lx/2 x 2/3 x live load (UBBL)
- Trapezoid
= Lx/2 x live load (UBBL)

Column Calculation
Column Self Weight
= width x length x height x density of reinforced concrete
Beam Self Weight
= beam size x density of reinforced concrete x length
Brick Wall Self Weight
= wall height x thickness x density of bricks x length
Slab Dead Load
= thickness x density of reinforced concrete x tributary area
Slab Live Load
= live load (UBBL) x tributary area

CONCLUSION
The designed columns of the bungalow are able to hold the load, using the formula
in accordance to BS 8110;
N = 0.4fcuAc + 0.8 fyAsc
N = capacity of concrete
Fcu = concrete strength (N/mm2)
Ac = cross section of concrete column
fy = yield strength of steel (N/mm2)
Asc = steel content in a column
Column Size:
300mm x 300mm
N = 0.4 (fcu) (Ac) + 0.8 (fy) (Asc)
N = (0.4) (30) (90000) + (0.8) (460) (1800)
N = 1080000 + 662400
= 1742400 N
= 1742.4 kN
Thus, the columns of the Bungalow are able to sustain any
ULTIMATE load below 1742.2kN.
From this project, we have learnt about the method of calculating and
analysing the beams and columns of a building. Besides that, we are able to
recognize and implement the basic procedures of building structure design that
will aid us in our future work. As such, it is important to have a thorough
understanding on building structure as it is part of a design process in
architectural field.
