Abstract

The objective of this research is to deliver a comprehensive structural design of the unit bay frame of a power house subjected to various loading conditions.This is a case study on power house frame structure which got damaged due to flash floods. We have redesigned the frame structure and same will be comapred to the previous design results and hence the shortcomings can be known, if any. This project emphasizes the critical combinations and applications of loads at specific locations, determined through an extensive examination of the structural behavior under all conceivable loading scenarios using STAAD.Pro software. The analysis conducted in this study offers insights into the methodologies employed for the analysis, modeling, and design of the power house under different types of loads. In this study, we evaluated the frame structure against various loading combinations, considering factors such as earthquakes, floods, and wind loads. The results obtained confirmed that the structure is safe under the applied load combinations. Design calculations indicate that the proposed dimensions of the structural elements are adequate for the critical load scenarios. It is important to note that, as the analysis was performed using STAAD.Pro software, results may differ among researchers or under varying methodologies, depending on the values assigned to different loading combinations and other influencing factors. The design methods employed have taken into account all potential severe impacts on the frame structure, particularly those forces associated with natural disasters
