Abstract:
Dura is a Town in Hebron which is located 6 km to the west of Hebron city. the town had a population of over 28,268. The total area of Dura town is estimated to be 17,600 dunums, of which 7,100 are built-up areas 8,220 are agricultural lands, and 1,270 are forests, uncultivated areas, or public lands. Patient suffer due to lack of hospital in Dura, they need to go to hebron for treatment, so from this point we decide to design hospital. Our project aims to have the ability and knowledge of the design of some components of a hospital locates in Dura, consist of 5 stories (basement, ground, first, second and third floor). ACI-318-11 will be used in the design while the Jordanian code will be adopted in the calculation of loads. The design will be done both manually and using available software. In this semester we were studied the architecture design, the units structurally to identify structural elements, loads on the buildings, and selected the appropriate structural system, we designed one beam and one rib and we will design all of structural members in the graduation project course.
