Abstract- Long structures without any expansion joints has become a necessity in view of demanding architecture and
present Industrial trend. As per Indian Standard code, IS-456:2000, buildings longer than 45m shall be analyzed for the
thermal stresses and appropriate measures shall be taken during fixing the structural system. However, IS codes are silent in
terms of process to follow in such kind of designs as well as on load factors to be considered in design combination of
temperature load with gravity loads. To worsen the situation, there are no guidelines available with the design engineers to
arrive at design temperature value that should be considered in working out thermal stresses. Three multilevel car park
buildings are analyzed here in order to study the effect of temperature load with respect to length of building. Buildings
considered are of length approx. 80m, 160m and 240m. This paper covers the effect of temperature load on forces
experienced by beams and overall reinforcement consumption.
Index Terms- Temperature load, Thermal analysis, Long structures, beam design with thermal loads.
I. INTRODUCTION
As a standard practice based on IS code, expansion
joints are usually provided every after 45m length in
case of long buildings. These expansion joints affects
the execution of work, construction sequence, faade
design (in case of dry cladding/ ACP cladding) and
also act as a source of leakage in monsoon during life
span of buildings. To avoid all these complications,
sometime buildings are analyzed and designed for
temperature loads which permit elimination of
expansion joints. This paper mainly focuses on effect
of temperature loads on design of beams.

Computer aided design software RCDC from Scube Futuretech was used to design various structural
elements. Based on analysis and design results,
various graphs are plotted to discuss the effect of
