Structural Calculations
Every project is conceived and executed with special attention and utmost care of the client. A project from conception to execution goes through many stages of calculations. It is nurtured by minds of the client and the Architect put together deciding on what is the best structural solution for a need such as the client’s. After much permutation and combination, once the design is finalized, the project reaches its Structural Engineering phase. Here, the building is analyzed purely as an structural entity that is capable of transferring loads down to the earth and something that is to withstand other loads applied on it in case of worst case scenario. This analysis is done purely out of mathematical calculations. This is where Structural Calculations come into the picture and the Structural Engineering Calculations get done after much analysis and calculations.
The following is an exhaustive list of the services Grand Signature provides with respect to Structural Engineering Calculations:
• Structural calculations of bending moments
• Structural calculations of torque
• Structural calculations of stresses
• Structural calculations of shear
• Calculations of wind load and pressure
• Calculations related to seismic movement
Our structural engineering calculations include a detailed analysis of the kind of load transfers that the building possesses, (trabeated – beam and column, arched, load bearing, frame structural system, cantilevers, single supported, doubly supported, etc.) and then accordingly performs Engineering Calculations. We perform Structural Calculations especially for foundations (pile foundation - structural engineering calculations related to size of the pile cap, number of piles, raft foundation, open foundation, depth of the foundation, size and number of footings, size of excavation, etc.)
Structural Engineering Calculations are made in context of the soil’s safe bearing capacity, its water holding strength and the depth at which the hard strata of rock is achieved. Be it the Structural Engineering Calculations of slab thickness (one-way, two-way, rebar detailing, precast, cast in-situ), beam depths, lintel depths and sizes or tie beam depth and sizes, we cater to every Structural element with equal care and produces the best and most suitable structural engineering calculations. We also cater to structural engineering calculations related to the number of reinforcements to be used in beams, columns, lintels, slabs, shear walls, staircase crank beams, etc. when it comes to R.C.C. structural systems.
