Sample Project



Project Name
:Aurora Frame Building


Design Stage
:Detailed Design
The structure is a one-storey reinforced concrete (RC) frame. Lateral stability is provided by moment-frame action, where seismic loads are resisted through ductile deformation of beams and columns. The foundation comprises of isolated pad footings.
