Description

This research project entitled “Structural Design Of G+1 Gymnasium in Kisii University” This research carries out the analysis of the structural elements such as the design of beam, slab, column, foundation and stair which was considered in this project and determine the capacity of my gymnasium where it will be able to accommodate 1300 people and also, we have to look about ventilation system that will provide fresh air at the gymnasium. To achieve the above objectives, the inputs data including structural loadings and architectural drawings (dead loads) were entered and processed through software like archiCAD22 and AutoCAD to produce in details all architectural drawings, and Etabs for analysis of maximum moment and shear on the structural element for Concrete Frames (Beams & Columns) and Prokon for Slab and Footing. Methods from knowledge to analyze and calculating the structural elements such as reinforcement, quantity of items, checking safety for soil if it is able to resist to the super structural element. It was concluded that the design of gymnasium was a very careful task to achieve because each structure member was designed at their most critically loaded areas to provide the maximum safety resistance and serviceability of such public building. The results showed that the designed steel reinforcements to be arranged in slab l5T12@200 C/C and 3T10 @250 C/C at the bottom while for T beam designed steel reinforcements were 6T20@47 C/C at the top and 7T16@28 C/C at the bottom another L beam designed steel reinforcement were 2T8@273 C/C at the top and 2T8@280 C/C at the bottom. And for column the designed steel reinforcement was 5T25@250C/C for ground floor part the column and T8@200 C/C for first floor, second for the designed steel reinforcement were 6T16@100 C/C and 6T16 @ 100 C/C, for the stair designed steel reinforcement were 8T10@260C/C for main and 6T8@160 C/C.
