2) Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling. Based on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modeling requirements from NBC

ans) An integrated office building for 1500 people.

i) Strength of the office is 1500 people including employees, managers, and other team members.

ii) Area per office: 4.8 acre

a) office building area = 16,384 sft

b) Parking = 95,000 sft

c) trees and grass= 98,452sft NBC Requirements Min.

plot size = 300 sq.m with min. width of 15m. The maximum height of the building shall not exceed 1.5 times the width of road abutting plus the front open space, subject to the requirement of front open space of a maximum of 16 m The height of all rooms for human habitation shall not be less than 2.75 m measured from the surface of the floor to the lowest point of the ceiling (bottom of slab) Minimum width of stairs - 1.5m; Minimum tread - 300mm; Max. rise - 150mm The open spaces around the building shall be not less than 4.5 m for heights up to 16 m, with an increase of the open spaces of 0.25 m for every increase of 1 m or fraction thereof in height above 16 m. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
