Abstract: As a part work of searching the easy and simple way of structural analysis and design to the practical life line structure (Commonly permitted and constructed Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) Multistoried building structure in Hyderabad Karnataka area of Karnataka state), this work is carried out which has a resulted in a breakthrough as it gives easy guide for analysis and design to many of technocrats who are unconfident in practical structural design. Hence, in this work mot commonly permitted and constructed RCC multistoried building structure of Hyderabad Karnataka is investigated and details of grade of concrete used in construction of its components. The most commonly permitted by civic authorities and hence constructed, RCC multistoried building structures of the area is termed by author over here as practical life line structure, as this structure comes frequently in their life line for structural design and construction. The data gathered has revealed some astonishing results that the practical life line structure arrived was not a huge , technically complicated multistoried building structure but it was simple ground plus three storied RCC commercial building having regular layout, and having simpler sections and components were cast mostly by using M20 to M25 Grade of concrete.
