This research explains the basis of the structural design process, by way of familiarizing with the requirements of the project and understanding the architectural and services concepts. This research aims at formulating the main design parameters that we will adopt in developing the structural design and detailing of the structure which will be compatible with the architectural theme, satisfy the functional needs, adhering to other applicable building norms and Indian Standards provisions to achieve a safe & stable structure. In this research the structural design to be adopted for the proposed structure covers the minimum design requirement to establish the unified design basis that will form the overall design philosophy. The design aims to achieve the following: - Structural & functional integrity. Required Structural performance under the consideration of characteristic service design loads. Design for wind and earthquakes loads. As this is an old structure the same will be checked as per latest IS standards to establish the resistance value. Structural durability & maintainability. The current state of the structure is such that if repairs required will be carried out in order to enhance its life. The possibility of adding the proposed floors and its impact on the existing building structure is the main purpose of this research. The structural health condition of the existing structure will also be studied such that improvising and strengthening procedures can be adopted as necessary, to augment the building structural health. Generally, the reverse load calculation is carried out with the help of existing structural drawings, where structural drawings are not available in such cases Non-destructive and Destructive tests are performed to find out the strength of concrete. This will give us the required information to calculate the load of the structure, determining the need (or not) to reinforce the existing structure and foundation.
