Introduction

The building we are going to speak of has a reinforced concrete structure and is described in the enclosed tables. it is made of one floor covered with a 20 degree sloping roof. It is a house to live in.

Considering the geometry of the structure, we have considered a longitudinal frame and a transversal one.

In the calculation of the structure we have taken the seismic laws for the first class 25.11.1952 n. 1684 and the D.M. 3.3.1975 as well as the "Norme tecniche" D.M. 26.3.1980 into due consideration.

For each frame we have separately calculated the moments due to the horizontal stresses and those due to the vertical ones.
The final moments are the results of both of them in the worst conditions.
The actions due to the eccentricity between the barycentre of the rigidity and that of the weights have been taken into consideration.
Moreover we have also checked the pressure-bending of the most loaded pilasters.

ANALYSIS OF THE COVERING WEIGHTS

Thickness of the inner plaster work: 1.5 cm. 30 = 30 kg./mt.²
Polystyrene weight  20 x 0.4 = 8 kg./mt.²
Corrugated tiles 20 = 20 kg./mt.²

Wind
p= 60 · 0.40 · 1 =     24 kg./mt²

SLAB CALCULATION

To the top


We have tested a piece of slab - 5 cm. thick and 1 mt. large - whose distance
between the ledges is 2.70 mt.

In = 2.80 b = 100

We assume the conditions of partial joint:

Joint moment
M =     1     p · 1² = 172 kgmt.
          12
Central line moment
M =     1     p · 1² = 172 kgmt.
          12

r =       4.2        = 0.3202
         172000 
              100
for = 1600 m. = 10 we get = 71    t = 0.002179 A = t Mb = 2.8577 cm.²
 

Use 10 Ø 4 iron bars mer mt. equal to cm.² 3.14.

 

Section test

A  =  3.14

b=100

a=5

h = 4.2

X =     10 · 3.14     -1 + 1+    2 · 10 · 4.2     = 1.34
                 12                                   10 · 3.14
i =    10 · 1.34³     + 10 · 3.14 (4.2 - 1.34)² · 2 = 337
                 3               
c =    17200 · 1.34      = 68.39      85 kg./cm.²
                 337              
f = 10 ·     17200      · ( 4.2 - 1.34) = 1459     1600 kg./cm.²
                      337         

 

OUTER OVERHANG CALCULATION

To the top

q =264 kg./mt.²

p = 262 x 1 x 0.67 = 176.9 kg./mt.

Let's increase the load of a 40 % considering the overhanging structure


176.9 x 1.40 = 267.60

The outer overhang has the same kind of iron reinforcement used for the slab. So calculation is not needed.

Weight of the girder 0.20 x 0.20 x 6.66 x 2500   =   666 kg.
Weight to the pilasters  2 x 3.25 x 15.29 + 291   =   390 kg.

Wi = Gi + 0.33 Qi = 4477 kg.

Fh

    10    · 4477 = 448 kg.

Considering the shape, this force will be distributed along a height of 1.20 mt.


qu

=        448     = 373 kg./mt.

from the analysis of the structure we have:
Va = - Ve = 302.3 kg.
H    = 216 kg.
Ma    = - 765 kgmt.
Me    = 738 kgmt.
Md = 14.4 ksmt.

Md = 912 kgmt.
Me = 1335 kgmt.
Va = 3085 kgmt.
Ve = 3085 kgmt.
H = 654 kgmt.

 

Check of the central line section

To the top


Mb = 2672

b = 138

Bo = 20

h = 23.5

h = 1.5
Let's check the section with reinforcement:
Af = 3 0 16 = 6.03 CM.2    h = 0.06
Af =20 16+14o4=5.78 CM.2
Af = 1600 kg./cm.2 Mt. = 10
Ff * = 6.03 + 5.78 = 11.81
h * = 12.8
x = 3.9 cm. inside the slab. So we can consider the section rectangular:

= 39.7 kg./cm.²            70 kg./mt.²
=  1580                       1600 kg./mt.²

 

Check of the section at the joint

M = 912 kgmt.

b = 20

h = 23.5

h = 1.5
Af = 3 Ø 16 + 2 Ø 4 = 6.28 cm.²
A'f = 2 Ø 16 = 4.02 cm.²
X = 8.26 cm.

             19.5                 73.6

 

WIND ACTION MEASURED AT 120 KG./MT.²

To the top

The actions are supposed to be due to pressures:
p = cq
c = exposure coefficient
q = shape coefficient.

in the worst exposure case we have: q¹ kg. /mt.² = 120

Being the building lower than 10 mt. 10 q = 0.75 · 1.20

The shape coefficient, being a sloping roof 
e = 23°, with 20° < e  < 60° we have:

Ce = + 0.03 - 1 (
e in degrees) so that p = 27.9 kg. /mt.²

LONGITUDINAL FRAME

To the top

We are going to check two longitudinal frames, one for the 90 mt.² prefab of 4 spans and one for the 79 Mt.² prefab of 3 spans. For both of them we shall sum up the stresses due to the orizontal and vertical loads.

1) 90 mt.²    prefab:  1 = 6281 cm.² = 22284 cm.²

Analysis of the loads for vertical forces

To the top


Weight of the girder

0.20 x 0.25 x 2500      125
Overload 100 x 0.25 =          25          
                                150 kg./mt.
Perfect joint moment M =     QP   = 113 kgmt.
            12


The final results of the calculation of the frame according to Kani method give us the following stresses:

Max M at the girder joint = 26 kgmt.
Max M at the head of the pilaster = 26 kgmt.

 

Analysis of the loads for the horizontal forces

To the top


Weight of the slab

0.05 x 4 x 2500 x 12 = 6000 kg.
Weight fo the girder 0.20 x 0.25 x 12 x 2500 = 1500 kg.
Weight of the pilasters 5 x 390 = 1950 kg.

Inner plaster work

15 x 4 x 12 =          = 720 kg.          
                                Gi = 10170 kg.
Qi = 55.5 x 12 x 4 = 2664
Wi = 10170+0.33 · 2664 = 11049 kg.

Fh

       100

Mr

=     Qr · hr   = 1234 kgmt.
             3


The geometrical and elastic characteristics are similar to the calculated ones. The max stresses, calculated according to Kani method, for horizontal forces are:

Max M at the girder joint =  332 kgmt.
Max M at the head of the pilaster =  380 kgmt.
Max M at the bottom =  392 kgmt.


Previously the pilaster has been checked for higher stresses.
The girder is scantly stressed and it is reinforced with 2 upper Ø 12 iron bars and 2 lower Ø 12 one. They are quite enough.

2) 78 mt.² prefab.

The longitudinal frame is similar to the former one which is not so much stressed. Moreover, being a three span frame, the quantity of the horizontal strength will be less than the former one, while the size of the pilasters is the same. So it is not necessary to check it.

Calculation of the concrete bed foundation

To the top

Analysis of the loads

Weight of the slabs 0.06 x 6.66 x 18 x 2500 = 17982 kg.
Weight of the girders 7 x 0.14 x 0.50 x 6.66 x 2500 = 8159 kg.
Weight of the pilasters 14 x 0.18 x 0.50 x 3.00 x 2500 = 7875 kg.
Weight of the ceiling plaster work 30 x 18 x 6.66 = 3596 kg.
Weight of the wall plaster work 4 x 30 x 18 x 3.00 = 6480 kg.

Weight of the overload 

150 x 18 x 6.66 =     17982 kg.  
                                               80056 kg. 
The unitary pressure on the ground will be
=      80056     = 0.050 kg./cm.² = 1.5
    800 x 2000

Being the stricture rather light, it is not necessary to deal with.

The 10 cm. concrete bed must be reinforced by means of an electrosoldered grate with Ø 15 meshes every 10 cm.

Horizontal thrust check

To the top

The horizontal thrust, due to the vertical load which has effect on the sloping pitches, is given by   H = 863 kg.

The structure has a transversal girder joined to the longitudinal one, its interaxis is every 6 mt.

The traction stress on the up stated girder will be

St = 863 +   1  · 863 = 1294.5 kg
                             2

This traction stress will be completely absorbed by the reinforcements which are

4 Ø 16 = 8.04 cm.² =     1294.5    = 161 kg/cm.² 1600 kg./cm.²
                                                         8.04

Considering the symmetry of the structure, the torsion, due to the eccentricity between the barycentre of the rigidides and that of the masses, is negligible.

Tangential thrust check

To the top

Tm = T/b x 0.9 x h

On this matter the standard provides that the acceptable tangential thrusts, without any reinforcement at the breaking point are

4 +     R'bk - 150   = 5.33 kg. /cm.²;
                 75
for the external girder we have: Tmax = 3.2 kg. /cm.²  5.33.

Anyhow there are also some stirrups whose pitch is 25 cm. and whose section is 2 Ø 6.
