INTRODUCTION
Always man after they knew that they had some innate abilities in their execution of tasks has been pushing away the boundaries to stand safe in nature though the challenge may be hard and very difficult at times. Engineering has been the key tool in doing so and one aspect of it is the marvelous path of civil engineering.
Mega structures which have proven the innate ability of mankind have already taken birth in the foreign countries and it’s our country that has been in no practice of it. It’s not until the need becomes the necessity that we venture into such environment to push the limits of nature to make our survival.
The concept of the high raise buildings have been a part of this venture, a concept though seen a little acceptable in the past (or even at present) has unnoticeably come to be the necessity at some places in our country. So this project will be an introduction to such a kind of structures in the country.
b) AIM
Design and analysis of 13 story residential building in phuentsholing city using staad.pro software with more emphasis on earthquake resistance.
c) REASONS FOR THE SELECTION OF THE TOPIC
i) Phuentsholing being the business hub of the country, land in phuentsholing city has been shrinking day by day with the increasing population and rural urban migration so; there is an acute pressure on housing.
ii) For example: more than 270 families living in jaigaon (July 8th 2012, Kuensel).
iii) These is no space for horizontal expansion in the city therefore it’s high time that we venture into the vertical expansion or high raise buildings but with proper safety measures against natural hazard like earthquake else in due course of time the government is going to face a great problem of housing which already is.
iv) This would decrease pressure on land resource and promote sustainability of resources like land and forest.
v) If Bhutan says that we are in zone five of earthquakes than let’s compare Samdrup Jongkhar and Guwahati, there are buildings which are more than 20 story in Guwahati though it also lies in the same earthquake zone. So what I think is it’s the matter of utilizing the technology which ensures safety.

d) OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the project are listed below:
1. To venture into the future necessity of the country that is high raise buildings especially in cities to solve housing problems.
2. Emphasize vertical expansion rather than horizontal expansion for sustainability of natural resources like the land and forest.
3. To design a 13 stored residential building through dynamic analysis approach principles for determination of seismic hazard parameters to ensure relatively high earthquake resistance of the structure so that it becomes more safe for accommodation.
4. To design a suitable foundation for the structure, most probably a pile foundation as the building is going to be a high raise building the vertical load is going to be very high as the depth requirement is going to be more so pile foundation would serve the purpose.
5. To design the various components of structure as per I.S Code provisions and recommendations.
6. Above all design convivial building with necessary facilities and services of its own. As this kind of building is going to be a new venture into the country and when they come in the beginning there are going to be only one or two so it is going to have a psychological effect on the people to see themselves high up in the sky and to do various activities like shopping and entertainment they need to make a long way. So we are also planning to fit some shops, and entertainment centers in the building at considerable floor from the base.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
i) Enhanced planning and design knowledge of high raise buildings.
ii) Exposure to Staad.pro design software and AutoCAD software.
iii) Learn architectural aspects in design and proper understanding of earthquake based design principles.
iv) Prioritization and implementation of high raise buildings with proper safety measures against natural hazards for sustainability of resources.
v) Emphasis of proper foundation design for the structure to be safe.
