This document summarizes a group project analyzing the structural components of a residential building with 2-3 stories. The group analyzed structural and architectural plans to understand load transfer between slabs, walls, columns and beams. Key equations were provided for analyzing beams, slabs, columns, and walls. Each student then individually analyzed 6 beams and 4 columns, selecting a variety of simple and complex structural elements. The project aimed to deepen understanding of structural systems through in-depth analysis of provided building plans.

- 3. INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT This project is split into two components – group and individual. In a group of three, we are required to study a residential building of maximum three storeys, preferably two storeys to analyse the structural components of the building. The structural plans and architectural plans should be thoroughly analysed to aid us in our individual components later. For the individual component, each student is to select and analyse six beams and four columns each. The selection of these components are preferably varied, for example, beam selection should be in a variety of complex and simple beams to deepen our understanding on the structural component.

KEY EQUATIONS AND PRELIMERY STUDIES Slabs (Ly refers to the longer side of the slab, Lx the shorter side) Ly/Lx = ≤ 2, two-way slab Ly/Lx = > 2, one-way slab Useful Equations for Beam Calculations Beam self-weight = beam size x density of reinforced concrete Slab dead load = thickness x density of reinforced concrete x Lx/2 (Trapezoid) = thickness x density of reinforced concrete x Lx/2 x 2/3 (Triangular) Slab live load = live load (UBBL) x Lx/2 (Trapezoidal side) = live load (UBBL) x Lx/2 x 2/3 (Triangular side) Brick wall dead load = wall height x thickness x density of bricks Useful Equations for Column Calculations Beam self-weight = beam size x density of reinforced concrete x length Slab dead load = thickness x density of reinforced concrete x tributary area Slab live load = live load (UBBL) x tributary area Brick wall self-weight = thickness x wall height x density of bricks x length Column self-weight = width x length x height x density of reinforced concrete

- 7. CONCLUSION From this project, we had the opportunity to conduct an in-depth analysis and study on the structural systemof a residential house. We have also learned about the process of load transfer and the integration between slabs, walls, columns and beams in ensuring stability of the building. From extensively analysis we are able to translate the position of columns and beams by constantly cross referencing to the architectural and structural drawings provided. REFERENCES 1.
