Design and Drawing Optimization
Design and Drawing Optimization
- Focus on Structural safety and cost optimisation
- Foundation dimensions to ensure safe bearing pressure, allowable differential settlement
- Layout of columns and their orientation to ensure balance of structural strength against lateral loads in all the rows and optimisation of spanning and framing
- Check on dimension of Columns to accommodate its own reinforcement along with reinforcement of all the beams framing into any of the columns and adequate strength of each grid against lateral forces.
- Special focus on ductility requirement under wind/earthquake forces
- Check on dimension of beams to ensure balanced section for optimum utilisation of steel and concrete and serviceability within limit state
- Ensure strong column-weak beam combination for preventing collapse during earthquake
