Design Rationale
· Plinth 300 wide — transfers column loads + acts as tie beam; larger because it also resists differential settlement
· GF beams 230×450 — carries GF slab load (LL 2.0 kN/m²) + FF column load above
· FF beams 230×375 — lighter, only roof slab (LL 1.5 kN/m²); reduced depth OK for clear spans ≤4.0m
· All 3 levels share identical 3×4 grid — simplifies formwork, consistent shuttering
· 4.0m bay (rows 3–4) uses same steel; extra stirrups T8@120 in that span
· All beams continuous over columns — moment redistribution reduces peak sagging
