CHAPTER 3

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Site selection: – its process of choosing the location, dimensions and condition of the site

that suitable for your project.

Site clearing: – This is the first task of site preparation. The site should be in a cleared

and graded condition. It involves the removal of trees, demolishing buildings, removing

any and all old and any other obstacles that might affect the construction process in the

future or hinder the project to be done.

Site investigation: - is a method of determining physical properties of soil at a site or

a Geotechnical site investigation is the process of collecting information and evaluating

the conditions of the site for the purpose of designing and constructing the foundation for

a structure.

Soil testing: – it is complete laboratory testing for shear strength, compressive strength,

consolidation, permeability, foundation load, soil index and moisture.

Site Surveying: – The Surveying process is not an option; it is a requirement for most

zoning and permitting processes. Surveying is the translation of a contractor’s set of

construction plans into a physical representation on the project site.


Structural Analysis: - to calculate internal forces and their moments (axial force,

shear force, moment), stress, strain, deflection, etc. in a structure under applied load

conditions.

I. Slab analysis: to analyze our slab as a normal we will check out all the slab,after

that we find out the critical panel.

II. Beam analysis: the type of beam that suitable for our structure will be continues

beam so we study where the critical beam will occur because the continuous beam

contains three sections like T section, L section and rectangular section.

III. Column analysis: to study the load transfer of columns of the structure and to find

out the critical column .

IV. Foundation analysis: we will find out the sum of self weight of the foundation

and axial force of the column.

Structural Design: - to study a cross-sectional area of structural elements (slab, beam,

column and foundation) , grade of material (Fcu), amount of reinforcement (NO. Of

bars) and so on.

I. Slab design: we will design the critical panel that it was calculated in the analysis

of slabs by using of solid slab.

II. Beam design: after we were analyzing the critical beam we will design as a

rectangular section because it has maximum bending moment according to T

section L section.
III. Column design: we will design our column by the method of biaxial bending

moment because it is the best method in BS8110 code

IV. Foundation design: after when we get the bearing capacity of soil and the critical

axial load from column, we will design the footing that has the suitable

dimensions.
