Rcc design residential vs commercial

Differences Between RCC Design for Residential and Commercial Buildings

• Size: Commercial buildings tend to be larger than residential buildings, so the design of the concrete structure will need to be able to support the additional weight and stress.
• Loads: Commercial buildings often have more floors and heavier loads, such as large equipment or machinery, than residential buildings. This will need to be taken into account in the design of the reinforced concrete structure.
• Occupancy: The number of people that will be occupying the building will affect the design of the reinforced concrete structure. Commercial buildings tend to have more people present at any given time, so the structure will need to be able to accommodate the additional load.
• Use: The intended use of the building will also affect the design of the reinforced concrete structure. For example, a commercial building designed for office use will have different requirements than a building designed for retail or manufacturing.
