How to calculate approximate structural floor depths for different Building Types?
- 4 storey apartment block (maximum room width = 3.75m)
- Multi storey frame - office building, 8m x 8m grid
- Multi storey frame – department store, 15m x 7.5m grid
For each of the building types above,I have to propose 2 structural options
and calculate the approximate structural floor depths for all options proposed.
Using sketches; plans and sections of typical bay and indicate load paths for each of the options proposed.
Can anyone help?
