Design of Structure

This lab handout is intended to give an overview of a Multi storied Building and a Balanced
Cantilever Bridge structural analysis and design. It concentrates on the gravity loading only. This
handout provides a basic guideline for analysis, design and detailing works as well as reviewing a
standard code of practice. To provide the undergraduate students with a well-organized, userfriendly, and easy-to-follow resource, this handout is divided into two major parts. The first part
mainly focuses on the structural analysis and design of Reinforced concrete (RC) Multistoried
Building that includes design of Slab, Beam, Column, Stair, Water reservoir and Lateral load
analysis. The other part deals with the Balanced Cantilever Bridge including an introduction to
Bridge Engineering, details about Balanced Cantilever Bridge, design of Deck Slab, design of
Railing, Post and Curb/Sidewalk, design of Interior Girder considering dead and live loads only,
design of Exterior Girder considering dead and live loads only, design of Diaphragm or Cross
Girder and Design of Articulation. Handouts from Prof. Dr. Khan Mahmud Amanat, and Mr.
Ruhul Amin, faculty members of BUET, were helpful as well as suggestions from some faculty
members of the Department of Civil Engineering.
