Steel Design Final Project - Tradeoffs for All Structural Members

CHAPTER I - PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.2 The Project The project is a seminary whose structure is made up of steel. It is intended to be built in Antipolo, Rizal. Building a seminary is important for the Antipoleneos since the city contains the National Shrine of the Philippines, and thus needs training areas for students who want to become priests someday. The seminary contains all the necessary rooms for the residents of the building.

As seen in Figure 1, the building has five floors with a flat roof, and is rectangular in shape. It has a total floor area of 700 sq. m with dimensions of 50 m x 14 m. The first floor contains the refectory (dining), chapel, lobby, infirmary (clinic), recreation area, kitchen and staff room. The second and third floors contain class rooms, laboratories, library, and offices. The fourth and fifth floor contain the study area and dormitories. It has a main stair, fire exit, ramps, and an elevator. The height of each floor is 3 m having a total of 15 m.

1.3 Project Location The project area is located in Antipolo City, Rizal, which is included in the areas under seismic zone 4. The address of the area lot is Lot 6 Blk.1, Sampaguita St. Bermuda Hts. Subd., Brgy. San Luis, Antipolo City. Figures 2 and 3 show the vicinity map of the area and its distance from the nearest fault line which is the Makati Valley Fault System, respectively.

1.4 Project Objectives The main objective of this project is to analyse and design a steel structure in accordance with the principles written in NSCP 2001. Other objectives of the project are as follows: a. To design a five-story steel seminary main building that will have an acceptable probability of performing satisfactorily during its intended life time. b. To provide all the necessary architectural plans, structural plans, and the estimate of the building cost. c. To plan the structure considering balanced constraints, trade-offs and standards on the design.

1.5 The Client The client of this structure is a set of religious people led by Mrs. Sharon Umayam. She is a businesswoman and at the same time the president of the lectors in Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Church (National Shrine of the Philippines).

1.6 Project Scope and Limitation The following were the scope covered by the design project: 1.) The project was designed in accordance to the National Building Code of The Philippines and the National Structural Code of the Philippines applying the Allowable Strength Design (ASD). 2.) Structural analysis was done manually and was checked through STAAD. 3.) All the needed architectural plans and structural plans of the building were provided.

The following were the limitations of the design project: 1.) Only the main structure (includes beams, columns, and connections) were considered in the design. 2.) The cost estimates for the mechanical, plumbing and architectural plan were not included. 3.) The plumbing and electrical plans are not included in this design. 4.) The interior design of the structure was not considered.

Figure 4. Project Development Process Figure 3. Project Development Process The project development process started with the planning/conceptualization. In this stage, the identification of client was the most important so as to know the structure to be build. In this case, the structure requested by the client was a seminary. It also included the identification of the location where the structure was intended to be built. The next stage was the identification of design standards. Knowing the structure to be constructed, the next part was to know the specific design standards that are required before coming up to the design (i.e., minimum dimension of a classroom, minimum size of an elevator shaft, etc.). These will set the parameters in the creation of the architectural and floor plans which is the next stage in the process. 4

In the third stage, the plans will be presented to the client so that alterations could be made. After all has been settled, constraints can now be identified, which is the next stage. In this, the constraints that were projected will then be classified as either qualitative or quantitative. Knowing the quantitative tradeoffs will pave the way to the determination of the trade-offs for the structure. In the last stage, the geometric design, computation, and final estimation for each trade-offs will be made. Then, all of these will be presented to the client. The client will then rate each trade-off. The one which has the most favorable rating among all will then be chosen for the design of the structure.

2.2 Classification of the Structure Using the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2010, the designer was able to classify and determine the classifications and parameters of the structure. 2.2.1 Seismic Load Parameters Since the structure is a seminary, the occupancy category of the building is classified as an Essential Facility, whose value of importance factor (I) is equal to 1.50. For the site geology, the soil profile type was considered as SD because the soil properties of the area was not known. Since the area is in Region IV-A, the structure is included in the areas under seismic zone 4, with seismic zone factor (Z) of 0.4.

10

As Figure 7, the nearest

line

the area is

the Makati Valley Fault System which is 16 km away. The seismic source type is considered as Type C since this fault line is not prone on producing large magnitude of earthquakes. With these data, the near source factors Na and Nv are both 1.0. The values of Ca and Cv are now determined as 0.44 and 0.64 respectively. Since the building is rectangular, it is a regular structure. Special Moment Resisting Frame System (SMRF) was utilized in the longitudinal, and special steel concentric braces frame was utilized in the transverse axis, thus, the seismic response coefficient (R) is 7. Static force procedure was utilized for the determination of the seismic forces acting on the strcture.

2.2.2 Wind Load Parameters In this part, the parameters for the determination of the wind loads will be presented, but those which are presented already in the seismic part will not be repeated. As the area is included in the zone 4, it has a basic wind speed (V) of 200 kph. The structural type of the building is a Main Wind Resisting Force System, thus, the value of Directionality Factor (K d) is 0.85. The surface roughness of the building is B because it is intended to be built in an urban area. The seminary is a medium rise building and an enclosed structure. The gust effect factor is considered as 0.85. Other parameters such as topographic factor (k zt) and velocity pressure exposure coefficients (k z) will be 11

computed. These values are those needed in the determination of the wind pressure acting on the structure.

2.2.3 Dead Loads and Live Loads The minimum design for dead loads and live loads used in the structure is presented in this part. For the live loads and dead loads (includes ceiling, floors and floor finishes) of the structure, the materials and their respective uniform load are in shown In Table 2

CHAPTER 3: DESIGN CONSTRAINTS, TRADE-OFFS, AND STANDARDS 3.1 Design Constraints Constraint based design takes the parameters associated with a design problem and links them to the attributes of the formal components and relationships of a solution. The forms that compose a building are defined by a set of attributes. Constraints have to be managed effectively throughout the decision making process, and also could be reduced or eliminated. In this project, there are specific constraints and general constraints. The specific constraints will serves as the criteria for ranking. The general constraints are the basis of the tradeoffs which will be ranked. The specific constraints were divided into two types, namely, quantitative and qualitative constraints. Quantitative constraints are those constraints that can be measured using engineering methods (estimation, direct counting, etc.). The qualitative constraints are those which cannot be measured but are ranked through the designer’s perception and experience (unranked in this project). The next sections present the specific constraints selected among all others that will have a significant impact in the design of the structure. 3.1.1 Quantitative Constraints 1. Economic (Cost). The design of the building will comprise steel for the structural framing as specified by the client. The tradeoffs presented in the next section are compared so as to determine which of those could be the cheaper choice. Davison (2003) noted that frame in the steel building has a greater percentage in the entire budget of the structural design. The components of the steel structure (beams and columns) can consist 30% in the total cost of construction. Total cost outcome of the tradeoffs in sections and connections will be considered in this design. The cost of the structure is highly significant both to the designer and the client. 2. Constructability (Duration). In this constraint, the designer thought on the process of manufacturing of structural sections is considered for the tradeoff in sections. For the tradeoffs in connections, the designer considered the construction time in joining the beams and columns. The tradeoffs to be presented would be compared so as to know which among the tradeoffs will require lesser amount of man-hour for construction. 17

3. Safety (Deflection). The designer considered the safety of the structure with respect to its vertical axis. Having considered the constructability of structure either using rolled or built-up sections, it is also reasonable to look at the safety of the structure. This must be capable to withstand the gravity loads. 4. Strength (Capacity). The designer considered the capacity of a connection to resist the possible failures such as failure in bearing, shearing (double or single), tensile, block shear. Knowing the capacity of the bolt would lead the designer to know how serviceable the structure is. The designer also measured the tensile capacity that the tension members can resist, and the axial capacity that columns can carry. 3.1.2 Qualitative Constraints 1. Aesthetics. The beauty of the structure lies upon its final output. This constraint depends on the taste of a person therefore it is considered as a qualitative constraint. It depends on a person’s perception which design is more presentable. 2. Social. People are very influential when it comes to ideas and other things. In this project, the friends and relatives of the client might give him an idea which might alter the work of the designer. Demands from these people might affect the decision of the client and the designer. 3. Health and Safety. Different areas surrounding commercial building might affect the people that might use the commercial building. Smoke from the cars using the roads and cigarettes, smell from the nearby canal, laundry areas, restaurants, etc., are examples of these hazardous odor that might affect health and safety of the people in the building.

3.2 Tradeoffs Design trade-off strategies are always present in the design process. Considering design constraints, trade-offs that have a significant effect on the structural design of the structure was provided by the designer. As a trade-off, the designer will have to evaluate which of the two is more effective considering each constraint. The following are the tradeoffs that were chosen by the designer because they are the most fitted to the said constraints. Tradeoffs in Beams and Columns. The first part of the project is to determine which section is more effective for a structural member (beams and columns). The designer utilized the rolled sections (W Shapes) and built up sections (BW Shapes) as tradeoffs for the structural members. Considering both tradeoffs to be effective and efficient in the design, the designer sought to find out which section will have greater performance considering the constraints; economic, constructability, safety, and strength.

Figure 14. Actual (left) and Theoretical (right) Built Up Sections

Tradeoffs in Tension Members. The tension members for the structure are the x-bracing. The designer chose the tradeoffs to be the section of the tension member, namely single angle with equal legs,

20

and single angle with unequal legs. The designer would like to know if there will be difference in the performance of the two sections. Tradeoffs in Bolted Connections. Bolted connections are widely used in almost every mechanical and structural system due to the added flexibility of assembly and disassembly of sub-systems for inspection, replacement, and routine maintenance. The designer utilized bolted connections in the bracing of the structure. The tradeoffs for bolted connections is the bolt hole that will be used, namely standard hole dimensions and oversized hole dimensions. The designer would like to know if there will be alterations in the performance of the connection when these two are applied.

Tradeoffs in Welded Connections. Welded connections are joints connected through welding. The designer planned that the beams and columns of the structure will be connected through welding. The tradeoffs chosen by the designer for the welded connections are the electrodes that will be used in welding. COLUMNS

The electrodes are namely E70XX and E60XX.

3.2.3 Ranking Scale The ranking scale that will be used in this design is based on the model on tradeoff strategies formulated by Otto and Antonsson (1991). The importance factors in each constraint is scaled from 0 to 5, while the ability to satisfy the constraint is scaled from -5 to 5, 5 being the highest for both. After obtaining the results, the product of the importance and ability to satisfy the criteria will be summed of from each constraint. The result will then be the overall ranking of the tradeoff.

Equation 1 Equation 2

The above equations will be used for the manipulation of the rankings of each constraint given to the tradeoffs. The governing rank is the highest possible value set by the designer. The subordinate rank in second equation is a variable that corresponds to its percentage difference from the governing rank along the ranking scale.

3.3 Initial Estimate, Ranking Computation, and Raw Designer’s Ranking For the first part of the project, choosing between the rolled section and built-up section, two sections from each tradeoff was assumed. The designer assumed each to have the same areas. To determine which of these two is more economic, the price per unit weight of each section were multiplied by the quantity (with respect to length) of the each section. To measure the serviceability constraint, the deflections of the assumed sections were computed and compared. All assumed values and the estimates were shown in Appendix C.

For the economic constraint, initial cost estimate is provided in the Appendix. To make an initial cost estimate, the designer considered the two tradeoffs to have the same area, and due to their different weights, the 24

tradeoffs will have different cost. To compute the rank of each tradeoff, the designer used the formula formerly enumerated. For the constructability constraint, the designer considered the manufacturability of each section. In this constraint, the designer gave a rank of 5 to Rolled Sections, and 2 fof Built Up sections. The main reason is that the rolled sections is manufactured as one, considering only the molding and curing time of the whole member, while built up section are rolled sections combined together to form another section, thus, aside from molding and curing time, we also consider the stiffening of the section. For the safety of the member, the designer considered the deflection per unit of length, of the same shapes used in the economic section. The deflection was presented in terms of percentage of the allowable deflection. Like in economic constraint, the rank for each tradeoff was computed.

For the economic constraint, initial cost estimate is provided in the Appendix. To make an initial cost estimate, the designer considered the two tradeoffs to have the same area, and due to their different weights, the tradeoffs will have different cost. To compute the rank of each tradeoff, the designer used the formula formerly enumerated. For the constructability constraint, the designer considered the manufacturability of each section. In this constraint, the designer gave a rank of 5 to Rolled Sections, and 2 fof Built Up sections. The main 25

reason is that the rolled sections is manufactured as one, considering only the molding and curing time of the whole member, while built up section are rolled sections combined together to form another section, thus, aside from molding and curing time, we also consider the stiffening of the section. For the strength of the member, values cannot be assumed since axial capacity of columns can only be measured after analyzing the whole structure. Therefore, the designer sought a way to rank this constraint. The designer gave a higher rank to the rolled beam sections because considering same area of cross sections, they always give lower value of weight. Thus, they can still carry greater amount of load to be sum up with their selfweights. Thus, the designer gave a rank of 5 to rolled sections, and 4 for built up sections.

For the economic constraint, initial cost estimate is provided in the Appendix. To make an initial cost estimate, the designer considered the two tradeoffs to have the same area, and due to their different weights, the tradeoffs will have different cost. To compute the rank of each tradeoff, the designer used the formula formerly enumerated. For the constructability constraint, the designer considered the manufacturability of each section. In this constraint, the designer gave a rank of 5 to Single Angle with Equal Legs because there is equal distribution in the period of time in both legs, unlike in unequal legs, ranked as 4, because they can have variation of manufacturing, especially in curing time. For the strength of the member, In this part, values cannot be assumed since axial capacity of columns can only be measured after analyzing the whole structure. Therefore, the designer sought a way to rank this constraint. The designer gave a higher rank of 5 to the single angle with unequal legs because the axial load is possibly higher since the fasteners are placed in the longer leg, unlike in the single angle with equal legs ranked as 3, both have same dimensions thus giving high possibly of having lesser leg than that of single angle with unequal legs. Comparing the longer legs is necessary because there will be computation of gross area and net area, where the axial capacity of the tension member will depend.

To have an initial cost estimate in welded connections, the designer assumed equal length of weld but different thickness. The designer assumed that E70XX will result to thinner weld size, but is more costly. For constructability, the designer considered that material cost and the labor cost that will be resolved from the cost estimate. And finally for the strength, E70XX obviously got higher rank because it has greater strength than the other.

To have an initial cost estimate in bolted connections, the designer based his estimate on the bolt hole area. The designer assumed the same number of bolts, but the oversized hole still got higher rank because it is more costly than the standard. For constructability, it comes the other way around where the oversized won. And finally for the strength, the designer gave rank of 5 into the oversized because the holes lessen the load that is transmitted.

3.4 Raw Designer’s Ranking and Assessment After making an initial estimate of the structure considering the constraints, the design came up with the raw rankings on the one-way slab and two-way slab. The values computed in the latter section is tabulated. BEAMS Criterion

To get an initial estimate, the designer used the economic cost to get the percentage of the labor cost required for the construction (welding), which resulted to number of hours the process will be finished. For the strength, the designer considered the ultimate tensile strength of two electrodes, which is their main difference. The E70XX basically has higher strength than E60XX. Overall, it turned out that the E60XX tradeoff outranked E70XX tradeoff for the raw designer’s ranking in welded connections. BOLTED CONNECTIONS RAW DESIGNER'S RANKING Criterion

Research in Engineering Design, volume 3, number 2, pages 87-104.Retrieved from http://www.design.caltech.edu/Research/Publications/90e.pdf on January 27, 2016 As per economic constraint, the standard bolt hole is cheaper than the oversized. One reason is that it is the used by many company, unlike the oversized. Also, the standard bolt hole got higher rank in constructability. But regarding the strength, the designer gave a rank of 5 into oversized, and 3 to standard, because the transmission of force is not directly into the bolt. These tabulated values are just subjective, especially the importance factors. These values will still go on with the validation after making a final estimate and final ranking.

National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) vol. 1-2001 edition (PD1096) National Building Code of the Philippines ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) ASEP Steel Handbook 2004 vol. 1 Steel Designers’ Manual of the Steel Construction Institute 6th Edition

1. The National Structural Code of the Philippines 2001.This structural code provides minimum requirements for building structural systems using prescriptive and performance-based provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and new building designs. It is also designed to meet these needs through various model codes/regulations, to safeguard the public health and safety nationwide. This is the main reference for the design procedure of the structure. Material Strength. Materials conforming specifications of NSCP 6th edition 2010 were used in the design of the project. Loadings. Dead loads, live loads and environmental loads (wind and earthquake) are the forces acting on the structure. Dead loads are consists of the weight of all materials of construction and partition loads that are presented in the next chapter. Live loads shall be the maximum loads expected by the occupancy; these loads are attached in chapter 4 as well. The required lateral loads due to wind and earthquake forces shall be separately calculated. Wind Loads. The wind load is calculated in STAAD Pro using specifications adopted in American Society of Civil Engineers ASCE7-05 and based on procedure as stated in NSCP 2010, section 207. Seismic Loads. The structure shall be designed and constructed to resist the effect of seismic ground motion as provided in section 208 of NSCP 6th edition (2010). Load Combinations.

Figure 15. Design Methodology 35

The first process in design methodology was the creation of structural plans. The structural plans included the foundation plans of the two trade-offs. The next step was to know the design specifications. These specifications are the codes and standards needed for the structure’s classification and description. The National Building Code and National Structural Code of the Philippines are the main references used for design specifications. The third step in the process was the identification of the material properties. The compressive stresses and modulus of elasticity of the concrete and steel to be used were determined. Also, the structural member dimensions (b, d, etc.) were assumed. The fourth step was the creation of the structural model. These models included geometric modelling, which showed the positioning of the structural members (beams, columns, slabs) in 3D form. The fifth step was the presentation of load models. In this part, the loads acting on the structure were computed. These loads were the dead load, live load, wind load, and seismic (earthquake) load, applying also the load combinations. After computing for these loads, load models was presented also in 3D form. The sixth step was the structural analysis. In structural analysis, member (beams and columns) forces and reactions were determined. The member forces included were the axial force, shear force, and moment acting on the member. The last part was the structural design. The structural design did not include the design of footings. The values from the structural analysis was utilized to design the structural members of the structures, mainly the beams and columns. The maximum moment acting on a beam was used to design the beam, and the maximum value of the axial force acting on a column was used to design the column. To design the slab, the total load on the floors was utilized.

4.1.2 Design Specifications The all the design specifications coming from NBCP and NSCP for the structure is stated Appendix A of the project.

4.1.3 Material Properties

Material Properties conforming to specifications of NSCP 6th Edition (2010) were used in the design of the structure using rolled sections. The properties for rolled sections were based on rolled section of Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines, Inc. (2004).Steel Handbook, Dimensions and Properties. Philippines. ASEP. Locally produced rolled shapes were applicable only for structural steel whose minimum yield stress is 230 MPa. In this structure, the designers used A36 for rolled sections with minimum yield stress of 248 MPa and tensile strength of 400-551 MPa. The following material properties were used in the design:

4.4 Influence of Multiple Constraints, Tradeoffs and Standards in the Final Design 70

Economic, constructability, and safety, and strength are among the constraints which influenced the design process of all the alternatives studied by the designer. The charts below show the differences between all of the tradeoffs. Economic Constraint The figure below shows the difference in the economic cost between the two tradeoffs in each structural member. Knowing the total cost of the structure is essential both for the designer and the client, so that one can easily choose between which tradeoff to take. The winning tradeoff in each might have a very large discrepancy against the losing tradeoff, but sometimes have a very small difference, which can change the mind of the client to pick the losing tradeoff, considering the other constraints in the design.

The figure below shows the difference in the constructability between the two tradeoffs in each structural member. Knowing the total duration of the structure is essential both for the designer and the client, so that one can easily choose between which tradeoff to take. The winning tradeoff in each might have a very large discrepancy against the losing tradeoff, but sometimes have a very small difference, which can change the mind of the client to pick the losing tradeoff, considering the other constraints in the design.

Safety Constraint The figure below shows the difference in the safety between the two tradeoffs in the beams of the structure. Although only one structural part was designed with this kind of constraint, it is still necessary to look at the outcome. Having a beam with a very much large possible deflection is very dangerous, that’s why the designer really need to consider this constraint.
