Remada Building at Kotikawatta (6 Story)

\

This unique 5 Story building is designed in a very urbanized area of Kotikawaththa town. It is faced to Low level main road which goes from Colombo to Awissawella. Basement is designed for car parking areas and the Ground floor and first floor are designed for commercial purpose. Rest two floors are for accommodation purposes. 

The superstructure is designed on Pad foundations as the soil condition is good. All the foundations were tied in dpc level in order to build a robhust structure as it provides horizontal ties in the building in below levels. In one side small retaining wall part was needed to built as there was a level difference between the side road and the basement floor level. The lift pit was constructed by the reinforced concrete and the above lift walls were supposed to build by using the block work. Perimeter wall loads were taken in to load calculations and for interior walls partition boards were used in order to reduce the dead weights on beams. Actually it lead design in to an economical one.
