Structure (Basic Structural System)

The document outlines basic structural systems in buildings, detailing elements such as load-bearing walls, slabs, beams, and columns, and categorizes them into substructure and superstructure. It describes different types of loads (static and dynamic) and various structural systems including wall slab, post slab, and post lintel systems, along with their respective spans and materials. Case studies of specific buildings illustrate the application of these structural systems.

Basic structural system:

A structural system is the combination of interconnected structural elements in a building or other


constructed asset that safely supports and transmits applied loads, such as gravity, wind, and seismic The element of structure:
forces, from the upper parts of the structure to the foundations and the ground.

Basic framework consists of two portion of building: 1.Load bearing wall


2.Slab
3.Beam
1. Substructure 4.column
2. Superstructure

A building structure has two type of load:


1. Static load
2. Dynamic load Materials:
 Live load
 Dead load A load which change s in
magnitude, direction and position
 Reinforced concrete slab
Type of basic structural system:  Wooden wall
 Brick wall
 Stonewall
1. Wall slab structural system
2. Post slab structural system
3. Post lintel structural system
Span:
Wall slab structural system:  12’-15’ span could be possible
 Large span of roof is problem . Can be salve by waffle
a building system where load-bearing walls and slabs work together to support and transfer
slab
loads, often forming a single monolithic, beam-and-column-free structure.

Elements:
1.Wall Openings:
2.Slab

 Big openings not possible , only small


Stair: openings
 Not more than 30% of the load bearing
 Typically supported by parallel load-bearing walls or wall
act as a slab supported by the main structural walls.  Continuous horizontal opening avoided
 Landing should be supported by load bearing wall

Post slab structural system:
A post slab is a reinforced concrete structural system where a flat slab is span:
directly supported by columns without beams.
 17’-22’ span could be possible
Elements:  Effective span
1.column
2.Slab cantilever
Classification of post slab:  Minimum cantilever : L/3
1. Flat plate  Maximum cantilever : L/2
2. Flat slab  Cantilever will be 1/3 of the span of the post
 With capital  Maximum cantilever will be 33% to 50% of the span
 With drop
 With capital and drop

Stair: Openings:
 Simply supported stair  Any kind of openings
 Stair can be created by using cantilever  Any size of openings
 Possible to use ribbon window

Materials:

 concrete

Post lintel structural system:


A post-and-lintel system is a foundational construction method where vertical span:
elements (posts, columns, or piers) support horizontal elements (lintels, beams, or
girders), creating a simple, load-bearing structure
 Span is limited , 17’-22’ is economical
Elements:  Beam is proportional to span of slab , such as span
Materials: is 40’ than the width is 40”
1. Beam
 R.C.C  The depth of beam must be increase respectively
2. column
 Iron with the increase of span
Stair:  Timber  Can be possible even more than 30% to 50%
 Stone
 Stair must start  steel
