About this project

Design a critical-occupancy building (200-bed hospital) located in Mumbai (Zone III) but assume same building has to be designed for Bhuj (Zone V) for comparison. Use response spectrum analysis in ETABS, apply ductile detailing per IS 13920, design base isolation as optional retrofit, quantify cost premium for higher resilience.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):
CLO1: Apply IS 1893 response spectrum method to a multi-story irregular structure.
CLO2: Design ductile RCC frames per IS 13920 (special moment-resisting).
CLO3: Evaluate performance using pushover analysis.
CLO4: Assess base-isolation retrofit feasibility + cost.
CLO5: Communicate seismic-design decisions to multi-disciplinary panel.

Industry/societal relevance: NDMA + post-2001 Bhuj awareness has made seismic design a hiring filter at structural consultancies (CES, STUP, Sterling, Buro Happold India).

Milestones

1. Architectural + Functional Plan

15 marks 18d

Hospital plan: 200 beds, OT, ICU, OPD, emergency. Submit architectural drawings + service-layer requirements.

2. Static + Response Spectrum

20 marks 21d

Run equivalent-static + RSA in ETABS for Zone III vs Zone V. Report base shear + story drifts. Check IS 1893 limits.

3. Ductile Detailing

25 marks 21d

Detail 5 critical beam-column joints + shear walls per IS 13920. Submit reinforcement drawings.

4. Pushover + Base Isolation Option

20 marks 21d

Nonlinear static pushover. Then add base isolators (LRB), re-run, compare drifts + base shear reduction.

5. Cost Premium + Final Defense

20 marks 26d

Compute cost premium of Zone V design vs Zone III + base-isolation option. 14-page IEEE-format report, oral defense.
