Step by step procedure to RCC building design | Design of RCC Structures
A building is composed of various structural components such as Foundations, Plinth beams, Columns, Beams, Slab, Staircase, Doors and Windows.
Design of Foundation | RCC Building Design
Foundation design is the structural component from where the RCC design is initiated. The foundation design guide discussed earlier includes in detail the design procedure for isolated column footing. Column footing is the most commonly used type of foundation. It serves a variety of different buildings.
- Design of Foundation – the most commonly used foundation is Column footing.
- Calculation of loads in Foundation Design Calculation of loads is very important for the purpose of structural design. This article outlines the thumb rules for the calculation of various loads in foundation design.
- Types of Foundations This is a generic article on different types of foundations. It covers some commonly used shallow foundations and also explains pressure distribution under a foundation.
Design of Beams | RCC Building Design
Beams are mainly classified into two types:
- Doubly reinforced beam (most commonly used in RCC Construction)
- Singly reinforced beam
A series of articles have been written for the design of Singly reinforced sections. The articles include basic definitions and formulas, understanding stresses and modular ratios, assumptions for singly reinforced sections, Design method 1, Design method 2, Moment of resistance and a number of solved numerical examples.
Design of Columns | RCC Building Design
The article discusses the classification criteria for a column, and design of different types of reinforcements for columns which include longitudinal, transverse and helical reinforcements.
Thumb rules for designing a Column Layout
The articles important thumb rules to be followed for column layout design. Three important thumb rules have been discussed.
- Size of the Columns
- Distance between Columns
- Alignment of columns
Design of Slabs | RCC Building Design
- Various types of RCC Slabs Different types of RCC Slabs have been discussed including corrugated, ribbed, waffle, prefabricated concrete slab and in-situ concrete slabs.
- Design of Simply supported Slab
- Design of Sunken Slab
Design of Staircase | RCC Building Design
The article outlines the types of staircases and discusses in detail the design procedure for the design of dog-legged RCC staircase. It includes classification of stairs based on the spanning direction.
- Stairs spanning horizontally
- Stairs spanning vertically
Helpful website for designing.
gud knowledge cn b get…………..
very useful website
It is like straw for a sunken civil engineer.
What shall be foundation and column length and breath of 4 storey building. Can old floor be use as footing base as foundation to be raise 1meter above current flooring.
If beam is 3m,4m,5m long what shall be column and beam Size
Hi
I am looking for the Foundation details of a Factory shed on virgin soil , which is not
hard enough. Planning to go for RCC col footings
of 4ftx3ftx1ft size an use 20mmdia tortl,
for the colmn size of 9inx12in size.
Can u pl indicate the rebar pattern???
Kindly advise as stated above.
Also the Concrete Mix details pl.
Which is lowest concrete grade at RCC Structure is safe.
Very BENEFICIAL Site!!!!
very very help full this web sit please give me updates LATEST DETAILS THANK Q
it is very useful site for beggner’s and also for useful for civil engineers to improve their knowledge.
sir,
I want to know that how can i calculate the total load of my 4 storeys building each floor is of 700 sqft and my slab depth is 100 mm.
Plzzzz tell me
Hello,
Check this out.
Load calculations
Also, are you a civil engineer?
this is my first visit to this site.I am sure I shall be highly benefited from it.
Thanks
very good portal
hi,
this is rammohan working as dy.manager construction
i need thumb rulr for design ofg+3 building in 45*40 feet plot
Regards

Hello Rammohan,
Take a look at our the structural design Services offered by Civil Projects Online.
Civil Projects Online now offers Architectural and Structural Design Services
Cheers 🙂
i need some info about detailing of overlappings beyond standard length of a rod…
Please notify me new posts by email.
Let me know the column structure of a residetial buliding, how much column required in 1500 sq feet area. G+2 building. Earth quake resistant RCC structure.
Another email is: zhpanna@gmail.com. We have an 7-storied apartment projec on 3600 sft land & total build up area is 2200 sft per floor having 2 equal size apartment. Mud of the land is well matured & pillings are done deep to 50 feets & there are standard basement & RCC great-beams with standard materials. Ground floor for parking & others. That is, there are 12 flats. If average member of a flat is 7 nos, total member will be 84 persons. We want to make only one overgead water tank & lift waters once in a day. What will be the net size of the overhead tank in cubic feet/meter? Will building take load of this tank as it may require approximately 15000 Liters water in a day? There are 16 columns of the building & middle 4 columns will bear maximum load & these columns are bounded by the stair cases. What should be the size in respect of cubic meter/feet & what is the standard capacity of the overhead water tank in liters? Please provide my queries & help me with your valuable solutions taking in consideration of the above mentioned facts.
I need two storied building structure design rule including footing, column, beam and roof etc. Room size 16’X11′.
Awesome site
please provide me with the design of multistoried building guide i will send you the cost of it.
Very informative indeed..
How to improve my knowledge in civil construction .? Tell me from beginning.
I would like to the minimum distance required between the overhead water tank and the houses close to the water tank.
I designed house plan, and there is double wall, opening space is in ground floor is 16 ft x 16 ft , builder constructed ground floor and finished with 1st floor slab.
Now , there will be complete roof deck on the 2nd floor , i wonder since span length is more than 16 ft, what to do ?
I want to built a 75×29 feet shade of steel structure…plz advice me…
i want to reduce two pillar from 16 pillar from my constructed building because of which the distance between two pillars is 16 ft and 20ft arise only in case of two pillars another pillars are situated around 9 to 10 feet from each other ………my building area is 100 yard and i use 16mm rods to make pillars the size of pillar is 9”*12”…………am i able to reduce two pillars or not if i want to built ground+3 floor in future ………now i want to built only ground +1 floor ??????????
pls suggest me can i done it with the help of beam or any other method
i have a quary regarding the footing design and other details i want to construct a hall of 52*32sqft size i want to keep just one central pillar and other 9 pillar of 9*9 size pls suggest me for central pillar dessign and size and other specification
Very useful website
for g+1 house need piller above plinth aria
I want to know that how can i calculate the total load of my 4 storeys building
Plzzzz tell me
Sir, Please suggest me a RCC design book to design a simple residential houses upto G+2.
RCC Theory and Design, by M G Shah and C M Kale. That book is excellent.
i need footing and RCC column details to support a 12 feet gate (2parts: 8 feet and 4 feet) . (total weight: 300 kgs approx )
Depends on the type of soil. If it is a hard murum soil, then footings can be 3′ x 3′ 3″ in dimension and depth of 12“. Steel mesh 10 mm @ 6″ C/C at the base of footing.
Both the columns of the 12′ gate would be 9″ X 12″ with a main steel of 6 bars of 10 mm, and stirrups of 8 mm @ 6″ C/C.
