For roof, live load: L.L= 210 kgf/m2
13. ENVIRONMENTAL LOAD CALCULATION:
- SNOW LOAD:
For our project, it’s located in a region (1400m
above sea level) where snow load is an important
load for building.
Use snow load SL= 210 kgf/m2
14. - WIND LOAD:
Design wind pressure:
P = Ce Cq qs Iw
Ce 1.43 Table 16-G (appendix 1)
Cq 1.4 Table 16-H (appendix 1)
Iw 1 Table 16-K (appendix 1)
qs 16.4 psf = 0.785 KN/m2 Table 16-F (appendix 1)
P = 1.9 KN/m2 = 193.6 Kgf/ m2
For safety take P = 200 Kgf/ m2
15. - EARTHQUAKE LOAD:
Fx=
𝑽−𝑭𝒕 𝑾𝒙𝒉𝒙
𝒊=𝟏
𝒏 𝑾𝒊𝒉𝒊
Fx : Force at level x (t)
V : Base shear force (t)
Wi, Wx : that portion of W located at or assigned to
Level i or x, respectively.
Hx : height of floor from ground level (m)
Ft=0.07TV
For T≤0.7sec, take Ft=0.
16. Design base shear:
V=
𝑪𝒗 𝑰
𝑹 𝑻
𝐖𝐭
The total design base shear need not exceed the following:
V1=
𝟐.𝟓 𝑪𝒂 𝑰
𝑹
𝐖𝐭
The total design base shear shall not be less than the following:
V2= 0.11 Ca I Wt
Where:
Cv : seismic coefficient, as set forth in Table 16-R (appendix 1).
I : importance factor given in Table 16-K (appendix 1).
R : numerical coefficient representative of the inherent over strength and
global
ductility capacity of lateral force- resisting systems, as set forth in Table
16-N (appendix 1).
17. T : elastic fundamental period of vibration, in seconds, of the
structure in the direction under consideration.
Wt : the total seismic dead load.
T= Ct (hn)3/4
Where:
Ct : numerical coefficient
hn : Total height of building (m)
Wt= W×A
Where:
W=1.2DL+1.6LL
A=Area of one floor = 648m2

hn 16.4
Values of coefficient:
19. W 3368 ton
T 0.657 sec
V 783ton
V1 552 ton
V2 134 ton
Base shear force values:
V2=134 ton ˂ V=783 ton ˂ V1= 552 ton
Since V exceeds the maximum value recommended by UBC, we
should use V1.
i.e. V=552 ton.
20. Earthquake force Calculation:

4 13.25 156
5 16.4 193
Values of Earthquake force at level x:
21. LOAD COMBINATION:
U = 1.4D
U = 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5(Lr or S )
U = 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or S ) + (1.0L or 0.5W)
U = 1.2D + 1.0W + 1.0L + 0.5(Lr or S)
U = 1.2D + 1.0E + 1.0L + 0.2S
U = 0.9D + 1.0W
U = 0.9D + 1.0E
Where:
D: Dead load
L: Live Load
S: Snow load
W: Wind load
E: Earthquake load
32. Reasons For Mat
Foundation
1- in the site that we have the bearing capacity for soil
is 1.5 kgf/𝑐𝑚2
is this value is law and the soil is
weak to carry the whole loads.
2- High water table under foundation, so it effect on the soil
quality.
3- Columns loads are so huge. (more than 50% of the
area is covered by conventional spread footing.
33. Designing By SAFE
Design Steps:
1- import the Architecture drawing from AutoCAD
2- Define the materials:
a) Concrete with compressive strength f’c=250 kgf/𝑐𝑚2
.
b) Steel with yield stress Fy=4200 kgf/𝑐𝑚2
.
3-Define Slab properties:
a) We define the thickness t=80 cm
b) We define the stiffness for foundation with same t=80 cm
34. Designing By SAFE
• 4-Define soil sub-grade=120*bearing capacity.
• 5-Assign loads for each columns.
35. RUN & DESIGN
• The first checking after run the model is punching shear,
it should be less than 1 for each column

Column sections:

C3 30×60
C4 25×25
Beams sections:
Beam Dimensions (cm×cm)

SBEAM 25×30
According to the moment and shear stress diagrams, we will know if these
sections are ok or not.
45. ANALYZING:
After running analysis, moment and shear diagram were overstressed
for beams, as a result we change our sections.
New Beams sections:
Beam Dimensions (cm×cm)
B1 50×30
B2 80×30
SBEAM 40×30
