Case Study of an Administrative Building

RCC beams and columns are designed for an administrative building measuring 16.5x10x3.5 m with an initial live load of 2 kN/m2. Designing of beams and columns includes how much steel is required, cross-section of beam/column. It depends on various factors like effective span, bending moment and shear force. The beams and columns are then tested to see if they fail when the live load is increased from 2 kN/m2 to 5 kN/m2. If they do fail, then strengthening of beams and columns is required using Jacketing or Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP).
