4 Storey Office Building
Design according to National Building Code of Canada (NBCC 2010) and the Canadian Standard for Design
and Construction of Steel Building (CSA-S16-09).
Plan Dimensions: Length = 55m, Width = 30m
First Floor Height: 5.8m
Typical Storey Height: 3.75m
Total Elevation: 17.05m (low-rise)
CBFs on either side of building to resist lateral loads (wind & earthquake)
2 staircases: East & West side of building
Designed the office building by determining the live, dead, snow, wind, and earthquake load that the
structure must resist under specific conditions that vary in Quebec City.
Also designed the CBFs to satisfy safety standards.
AutoCAD for the structural and architectural drawings.
ETABS for analysis of the structure.
Assumptions
Dead Load Calculation: 10% steel allowance
Importance Factor, I: 1.0 (normal building)
Open terrain environment
CBF stiffness, K = 1
Building is situated on top of very dense soil and soft rocks -> Class C
No storage load for each floor
Considered the beams as laterally supported
