Planning, Analysis, Design and Estimation of a Residential Building

Abstract

One of the main issues facing the nation is its fast expanding population, which requires more facilities due to the limited amount of land available. To some extent, this can be resolved by developing residential buildings. A residential building is any structure that offers lodging, such as private homes, apartments, hotels, dorms, or other types of lodging. In this project, a 40 x 60-foot G+5 residential building with three bedrooms, a hall, and a kitchen will be analyzed and designed in accordance with local guidelines as well as municipal rules and regulations. In accordance with IS 875 (Part-1), IS 875 (Part-2), and IS 875 (Part-3)-1987, gravity loads such as dead loads and live loads are provided for analysis and design utilizing STAAD pro software. Lastly, calculate the building\'s overall cost.

Introduction

The fundamental human needs of food, clothing, and shelter have driven innovation throughout history, with shelter being crucial for safety, security, and belonging. Housing not only protects from environmental elements but also provides psychological security and social status. Designing residential buildings requires balancing safety, functionality, comfort, and compliance with regulations, while considering environmental, financial, and cultural factors like Vaastu or Feng Shui.

Urban population growth and land scarcity have increased housing demand, leading to multi-story buildings to efficiently use space. Architects and engineers play a key role in creating sustainable, safe, and comfortable homes that foster community and economic growth.

The demand for housing is driven by population growth, urbanization, economic development, and changing family structures, which also pose challenges like affordability and sustainability. Practical considerations include durable materials, safety from natural forces, and community facilities.

Buildings are classified by use into residential, educational, institutional, assembly, business, mercantile, industrial, storage, and hazardous types, each with specific functions.

Planning and design must produce error-free, code-compliant plans that ensure structural integrity, fire safety, efficient electrical and plumbing systems, energy efficiency, and accessibility. Design also needs to meet owner preferences and budget constraints.

Selecting a suitable plot involves evaluating community services, transportation, land topography, utilities, and environmental factors.

Incorporating Vaastu principles in building design promotes health, prosperity, and peace by aligning with traditional scientific norms, influencing orientation, space usage, and structural features.

Overall, housing is a cornerstone of civilization, symbolizing safety and aspiration, requiring thoughtful design and planning to meet growing and evolving human needs.

Conclusion

Basedontheworkcarriedout,thefollowingconclusionsweremade: 1) Inthisproject,PLANNING,ANALYSIS,DESIGNINGANDESTIMATIONOFRESIDENTIALBUILDINGiscarriedout. 2) Studied how to plan a building using the National Building Code of India-2005. We learned how to use AUTO-CAD software to draft and draw building plans as a result of this project. 3) The bending moments are determined by a manual gravity load analysis carried out in accordance with IS code. 4) Using STAAD Pro software, the analysis has done as per IS codes.The design is safe inall aspects. 5) Finally, manually and software results are compared and observed that they are approximately equal. 6) The design of slab, beam, and column are design in limit state method, which is safe at control of deflection and in all aspects. 7) Finally, the structure is designed to withstand safely all loads liable to act throughout its life time, it shall also satisfy the serviceability requirements. 8) Steel, cement, aggregate, bricks, composite materials, equipment, electrical installations, plumbing, sanitary, and labour costs are the main factors.
