2. Introduction
The project is to develop a structural design for an arts and culture exhibition space for Royal Borough of
Greenwich to promote the history of the surrounding area.
The Client, the Royal Borough of Greenwich, wishes to create a landmark building that reflects the cultural
heritage of the surrounding sites and the history of the British clipper ship the Cutty Sark (built in 1869).
The following elements are NOT required in your design: foundation design, lateral stability, ground
floor slab design and reinforced concrete column design.

Structural Material
•
Concrete grade to be determined by your group.
•
Assume fyk = 500 N/mm² steel reinforcement.
• Assume S355 steel for all steel members.
•
•
•
•
Building layout
The overall shape of the structure is provided in the attached drawings; however, each group has a
target building footprint (area on plan) that they must aim for. You are allowed a +/- 10% tolerance on
the final footprint area.
Floor heights
The ground floor will consists of a car park with a minimum headroom of 4.5 m, columns are permitted
on the ground floor.
The first floor is to be designed for storage of art items and the Client requires this space to be flexible
so it can be used as exhibition space, hence there is no column is permitted on the first floor. The
minimum head height is 6 m.
The second floor consists of consultation area for placing orders and a café overlooking the River
Thames. The planning condition requires that the overall building height shall not exceed 23 m due to
issue with line of sights.
Structural zone - Include a tolerance and deflection zone of 40 mm and a service zone of 300 mm in
the floor depths.
Materials
•
No ground floor design required
•
•
Ground to first floor is reinforced concrete (RC) structure, the thickness of the floor slabs in the RC
floor is to be determined by you.
First floor and above is to be steelwork, you may assume a floor slab thickness of 150 mm for the
steel frame.
Loading (Characteristic)

= 1.20 kN/m²
= 0.15 kN/m²
Imposed load for roof BS EN 1991-1-1 (See H, Table 2)
= 0.60 kN/m²
Cladding
A cladding load of 5.0 kN/m² (characteristic load) should be allowed around the perimeter of the building
to allow for a 'green cladding' system.
If you require any additional design data, use your engineering judgement or a reference, stating
any assumptions made in your submission.
Actions on Structures 93

Structural Engineer's Pocket Book
(continued)
Variable actions: Imposed floor loads
The following table from BS EN 1991-1 gives the normally accepted minimum floor loadings.
Clients can consider sensible reductions in these loads if it will not compromise future flexibil-
ity. A survey by Arup found that office loadings very rarely even exceed the values quoted for
domestic properties.
The gross live load on columns and/or foundations from sections A to D in the table can be reduced
in relation to the number of floors or floor area carried to BSEN 1991-1. Live load reductions are not
permitted for loads from storage and/or plant, or where exact live loadings have been calculated.
