What are the checklists for column design, beam design and shear wall design?

Checklist for column design

  1. Check the Grade of concrete
  2. Grade of steel
  3. Check concrete cover as per IS and suitable for the site
  4. Check the arrangement of the rebar system in the pre-processor.
  5. Check for code IS 456:2000
  6. Check if the proper load combination is taken into consideration while designing the columns
  7. Check the unsupported length and unbraced length of the column
  8. Check the ductility clause if R=5 then use ductile otherwise use ordinary
    1. Ductile: Software shall consider IS 13920:2017 for designing the columns
    2. Ordinary: Software shall design column with IS 456:2000 without considering IS 13920:2017.
    3. Non-Sway: Software shall not consider the seismic load combinations while designing the columns



Checklist for beam design

  1. Check the Grade of concrete
  2. Grade of steel
  3. Concrete cover
  4. Load combinations
  5. Check for the code IS 456.
  6. Check the ductility clause if R=5 then we use ductile otherwise ordinary
  7. Check the BM, SF and Torsion diagram (After specifying releases
    1. Ductile: Software shall consider IS 13920:2017 for designing the beam
    2. Ordinary: Software shall design beam with IS 456 without considering IS 13920:2017.
    3. Non-Sway: Software shall not consider the seismic load combinations while designing the beam



Checklist for Shear wall design

  1. Check the Grade of concrete
  2. Check that proper meshing size is given to the shear wall or not.
  3. Grade of steel
  4. Concrete cover
  5. Load combinations are taken into consideration
  6.  IS 456:2000.
  7. Give proper Pier/spandrel leveling as follows: 
    1. Pier- Long Column
    2. Spandrel – Deep beam
