1.0 An Overview
The purpose of this design project is to develop the ability of the students to carry out a comprehensive
structural engineering design as practiced by the industry with minimal assistant. This project also will
develop the ability of the students to undertake problem identification and later they are assumed to be
able to formulate and find the solutions.

2.0 You are required to:

o Analyse the Structural steel FRAME using ROBOT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
PROFESSIONAL 2016 BY AUTODESK ( free licence for students from Autodesk.com)
o Design the structural steel framework using ROBOT and manually.
o Write or type your answer neatly and clearly.
o Show all calculation and design procedures in calculation sheets.

3. Structural Design Criteria  Design procedure.
2-3
 Design criteria to be considered.
4. Analysis & Design Analyse using ROBOT. No limit
Design using ROBOT and manual calculation.
Your manual calculation should consist of the

1
 following:
 Design of ONE steel beam.
 Design of ONE steel column.
 Design of beam-column connections
(details of connections – please refer to the
detailed Figure P4).
 Design of steel bracing – suggest your
bracing layout.

Compare your design with the results from

ROBOT. Make further discussion for any
differences.
5. Conclusion Summing up the members sizes, the
2-3
connections, etc. Use appropriate TABLE.
6. Detailing Detailing of the following – you extract the
results from ROBOT for the following:
 Layout of floor plan (include the size of
No Limit
beams, columns)
 Beam –column connections (choose any
two locations). Scale 1:20
7. Reference Any related sources. No Limit
Limit your
pages up
Report format: Font 10 (Arial) / Single Spacing
to 60
only.

Note:
o Cover page should state course code, course title, name of a group member and matrix number –
zero marks will be given for those whose names are not included in the project submission.
o Marks will be given based on the correctness of the calculation and the presentation of the project
paper.
o Any missing data may be assumed.
o Foundations need not to be designed.

4.0 Structure Description

This four-storey medical office building is shown Figure P.1. It has a structural steel framework (see
Figures P.2 and P.3). The floors and roofs are supported by open web steel beams and columns. The
floor slabs are lightweight aggregate precast concrete of 150mm in thickness and are able to provide
adequate resistance to lateral movement of the beams. The beam-column connection is designed to
have simple connections hence allowing a nominal amount of moments. See Figure P.4.

2
The building is to be constructed on a site in IUKL, Bangi. The client’s requirements are as follows:
 Steel material is used for structural elements: beams and columns.
 The floor is lightweight aggregate precast concrete slabs of 150mm thick.
 The roof is to be used for M&E equipment.
 Fire resistance is 2 hours and the protection is achieved with a sprayed in tumescent
coating.
The site conditions are as follows:
 Basic wind speed is 15m/s based on 3 sec gust.
 Ground: Existing ground to 3m = made ground with rubble and clay.
Below 3m = stiff clay, SPT = 35N to 50N

 No ground water.

10. Assessment Strategy:

 Report – will be evaluated based on instructions given in 3.0 above. Marks will be
given based on the correctness of the calculation and the presentation of the
project paper. Total mark for report is 100 marks.

 Digital presentation will be evaluated as follows:

Task Comments Point Achieved

1. Software  Types of software used
/5
(staadpro or prokon)
2. Presentation  Modelling of the
/10
structure
3. Run Analysis  Any errors? /3
 Any warnings? /2
 Can RUN? /5
Total = /10
Total marks = /25

 Work done – peer evaluation will be used. Each member of the group will
evaluate him/herself and also other group members. Each member needs to fill up
