1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Farkantex Ltd is a garments factory in CEPZ, Chittagong, Bangladesh located at Plot # 1 & 2, Sector 5/A.
There are Multiple Structure for Different Section. Production Building is a steel framed Single Story Structure
with light weight roofing system. The Building is Designed and Fabricated is unknown.
The building had one central Column in main frame with profile roofing system. Exterior partition walls are
Brick work. The steel frame is braced frame against minor axis and moment resisting frame against major axis.
All details about frame members are found in as build drawings that is prepared by the consultant.
A team of Engineers are assigned to collecting information from site and analysis the steel frame in finite
element software STAAD Pro 8i. Diploma in Construction Engg Md. Ruhul Amin are collected the building
structural information by visited the site physically. Engineer Md. Shahinur Alam model the structure in staad
pro 8i and make a report and finally Engineer Md. Faruk Khalil is checked the report with hand calculation
whether the member is adequate or not.

WORK METHODOLOGY
Based on the as build drawings, for the factory building, the consultant independently developed a computer
analysis model and carried out complete analysis of the structure incorporating various design requirements as
per Accord Building Standard. Loading values, Load combination, design parameters, strength calculation
are of the major findings from that standard. The results obtained from computer model were checked against
relevant specifications hand calculation.

General Load Data
Dead load:
Dead load is the vertical load due to the weight of permanent structural and non-structural component of a
building, e.g roofing, purlin, purlin stay, sheet, J-hook, clit and others.
Unit weight of materials and the calculation of design dead loads are according to section 2.2, Chapter 2, part 6
of BNBC.
Live load:
Live load is the load superimposed by the user during construction and maintenance and at the service period
of the structure. As per Table- 6.2.3, BNBC- Page 6-22.

+88-01680282235, +8801687005490
According to ASCE minimum live load on roof and frame is 0.57 kN/SQM is considered.
Wind load
The calculation of wind load conforms the Sub-clause 2.4, Chapter 2, and part 6 of BNBC. The following
equation has been used to calculate sustained wind pressure of the structure
Pz = Cg Cp Cc Ci Cz Vb2 [BNBC, 2.4.6.2, 2.4.6.3 page 6-33, 6-34]
Exposure A was considered for wind load calculation.
Following are the basic parameters assumed for wind loads on building.
Basic Wind Speed: 260 kM Per hour (Chittagong)
(Ref. BNBC)
Structure Importance Coefficient:
1.0
Exposure Category:
Combined Height and Exposure

Coefficient:
As per Table 6.2.10 (Ref. BNBC)
Overall pressure coefficients for wind load are used as per table 6.2.15 (BNBC)
Seismic Load
The calculation of earthquake loads conforms to sub-clause 2.5, Chapter-2, part 6 of BNBC.
Equivalent static force method (section to 2.5.6, part 6, BNBC) will be adopted to calculate seismic
lateral forces.
The total design base shear is calculated from the following equation.
V =
Where
ZIC
W
R
Z = 0.15 (seismic Zone 1) coefficient given in fig. 6..2.10 of BNBC.
The site is at Chittagong.

I = 1.00 (structural importance coefficient given in table 6.2.23 in
BNBC.
R = 3 (Response modification coefficient for ordinary steel moment resisting frame given in table
6.2.24 of BNBC.

+88-01680282235, +8801687005490
W = Total seismic dead load
C = Numerical coefficient given by the following relation
C=
1.25S
T 2/3
Where
S = 1.5 (Site coefficient for soil characteristics as provided in table

6.2.25 of BNBC.)
T = Fundamental period of vibration in seconds, of the structure for
the direction under consideration as determine by the provisions
of the section 2.5.6.2, part 6 o BNBC.
3.5
Load Combination:
Steel structural member will be designed to have strength not less than that required to resist the most
unfavorable effect of the combination of the factored loads shown below.
1. 1.2DL + 1.6 Lf + 0.5Lr

2. 1.2 DL + 1.3 WL + 0.5Lf + 0.5Lr
3. 1.2 DL + 1.5 E + 0.5Lf
Ref: According to Accord Building Standard
Where DL = Dead load, Lf = Floor Live load, Lr = Roof Live load, WL = Wind load, E = Earth Quake Load.
3.6
Design Method
Steel Structure has been designed with AISC Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method.

+88-01680282235, +8801687005490
3.7
Software and Computer Program
Staad.Pro V8i has been utilized for the analysis and design of the structure. Moreover, spreadsheets
Written in MS Excel have been used for analysis and design of the structure.
Input data file:
3D Model of Steel Frame

+88-01680282235, +8801687005490
4.0 REVIEW OF THE STRUCTURE:
1.
The overall main frame stress ration: The main frame stress ratio is not within the limit i.e.
overstress. The frames are not quite satisfactory. Strengthening required.
2.
The DL+LL deflection of the main frame section is 29.61mm. The allowable deflection is L/180
= 7500/150 = 50.00mm. The deflection is within the limit.

+88-01680282235, +8801687005490
3.
The DL+WL deflection of the main frame section is 62.55mm. The allowable deflection is Eave
Height/60 = 3300/60 = 55mm. The lateral deflection is also not within the limit.

+88-01680282235, +8801687005490
5.0 RECOMENDATION & STRENGTHENING:
1.
To make the structure stable and usable the structure should strengthen. Make double angle by
welding same size angle 40mm x 40mm x5mm all top, bottom and diagonals. Then the vertical
deflection is also reduce. And also add two angle both side at the ridge to reduce the top chord
stress.

+88-01680282235, +8801687005490
2.
By strengthening the vertical deflection is also reduced 18.8mm to 9.7mm. No impact in lateral
deflection which is also within the limit.
3.
Longitudinal stability of the building is provided the cable bracing in the roof.
Construction Safety Measures and Procedure

a. To prevent injury to personnel, extreme caution should be exercised when using any types of
welding equipment. Injury can result from fire, explosions, electric shock, or harmful agents. Both the
general and specific safety precautions listed below must be strictly observed by workers who weld or
cut metals.
b. Do not permit unauthorized persons to use welding or cutting equipment.
c. Do not weld in a building with wooden floors, unless the floors are protected from hot metal by
means of fire resistant fabric, sand, or other fireproof material. Be sure that hot sparks or hot metal
will not fall on the operator or on any welding equipment components.
d. Remove all flammable material, such as cotton, oil, gasoline, etc., from the vicinity of welding.
e. Before welding or cutting, warm those in close proximity who are not protected to wear proper
clothing or goggles.
f. Remove any assembled parts from the component being welded that may become warped or
otherwise damaged by the welding process.
g. Do not leave hot rejected electrode stubs, steel scrap, or tools on the floor or around the welding
equipment. Accidents and/or fires may occur.
h. Keep a suitable fire extinguisher nearby at all times. Ensure the fire extinguisher is in operable
condition.
i. Mark all hot metal after welding operations are completed. Soapstone is commonly used for this
purpose.
j. Personal protective clothing like helmet, gloves and protective googles must be used during work.
k. All the steel members which are to be retrofitted should be cleaned of rust and dust.
l. Steel angles Must be welded to the full length of the members.
m. Welding must be done all along the length.
