JMS Engineers provided structural engineering services for the Evans Living Student Halls in Leicester, focusing on designing a 450 mm thick reinforced concrete raft slab foundation. This foundation evenly distributed loads across the subsoil, analysed for its bearing capacity. The design adhered to Eurocode standards, addressing ULS and SLS conditions.
C30/37 grade concrete and high-strength steel were used for durability. Advanced structural modelling ensured accurate calculations of internal forces and displacements.
The project also included compliance with the Party Wall Act 1996 and climate change considerations, delivering a robust, long-term structural solution.
