The project design

The project is designed according to the latest IS design codes, IS 800: working stress design for both the buildings, with consideration given to all the geographical data.
The lateral forces resulting from the seismic or wind loads are resisted by diagonal bracing and jack portals at intermediate column locations. The design included temperature control for monitoring the thermal expansion and contraction.
