GENERAL
 CRITERIA FOR MEMBER
DESIGN

 ROBUSTNESS
 SAFETY AND DURABILITY
 FITNESS FOR PURPOSE
 ECONOMICS/COST
 USERS COMFORTS
 EXTERNAL APPEARANCE
 CRITERIA FOR MEMBER DESIGN
 ROBUSTNESS: careful planning in choosing a
Stable & strong configuration with lateral stability in
two orthogonal direction ( adequate stiffness
/structural integrity to be ensured for load transfer by
providing columns/beams/horizontal diaphragm,
slab/bracing. Foundation adequacy).
 planned and design so that the local failure of one
member sd. not lead to global collapse of structure .
 Ductility detailing of the structural members.
 CRITERIA FOR MEMBER
DESIGN
 SAFETY AND DURABILITY:-
 Structural design to conform to codal & accepted
design practices.
 use of right material ,proper loading , design
detailing, protections measures , fire resistance and
quality construction .
 FITNESS FOR PURPOSE:-
 Over all structural configurations should allow
unrestricted movement with adequate approaches
& escape routes.
 CRITERIA FOR MEMBER DESIGN
 ECONOMICS/COST: -
 cost- time economics/ build ability of the selected

configuration.
 Minimize maintenance cost

 USERS COMFORTS:
 minimise vibration/noise level due to vibrating machine in

structure, vertical/lateral deflection to be within limits

 EXTERNAL APPEARANCE:-
 Good aesthetic appearance / avoidance of degradation
cracks/ spalling ,leaking and staining .

GAVLANISED/STAINLESS STEEL
CATHODIC PROTECTION OF REBARS
 DURABLE CONCRETE
 A DURABLE CONCRETE IS ONE THAT PERFORM
SATISFACTORILY IN THE WORKING
ENVIRONMENT DURING ITS ANTICIPATORY
EXPOSURE CONDITION.
 THE CONRETE USED SHALL PROTECT THE
REBARS CORROSION AND BE IMPERMIABLE .
 ADEQUATE COVER TO REBARS
 GOOD QUALITY CONTROL OF MATERIAL
 SUITABLE CONTROL OF CEMENT AND WC
RATIO
 WORKMANSHIP COMPACTION & PROPER
CURING

 EXPANSION JOINTS
 Structure should be separated by Expansion
joints:-
 1) Structure with large Plan dimensions.
 2) L shape or Irregular shape in Plan and elevation.
 IS 456 SPECIFY EXPANSION JOINTS
WHEREVER BUILDING EXCEED 45M LENGTH.
 Provide adequate gap and joints should be detailed to
allow free structural movements at these locations.
 Gap of 25-50 mm is generally provided.
 TYPICAL DETAIL

(Technical report #65,Technical research council ,USA)
EXPANSION JOINT SPACING
 SUGGESTED SPACING FOR RCC
FRAMED STRUCTURE:-
 USE ~60M FOR OPEN FRAME
STRUCTURE LIKE TECH STR./PIPE
RACK.
 REDUCE APPROPRIATELY FOR
COVERED MULTISTOREY BUILDING.
 DESIGN FOR THERMAL MOVEMENT IF
LONGER SPACING MORE THAN ABOVE
& IS ESSENTIAL.
