The aim of this project is to design the structural elements of all
buildings. These buildings consist of concrete and steel works that
contains slabs, beams, columns and foundations walls.
The project consists of one concrete building. This concrete building
consists of four stories. The building contain facilities that is designed to
suit the needs of the Citizens according to the appropriate modern
requirements.
Moreover, the designing of the project consists of many stages, which is
represented by examining the architectural sketches, choosing different
kinds of structural elements such as columns, beams and slabs that is not
in contraction with the architectural design. After that comes the stage of
designing the structural elements by using computer programs and then
displaying the results as executive sketches.
There are many codes used in this project. Jordanian Building Code is
used to determine live loads. Uniform Building Code (UBC-97) is used to
determine seismic loads. In Addition, the American Concrete Institute’s
code (ACI 318-14) is used for structural analysis and designing sections.
The computer programs that has been used in designing the project are
AutoCAD 2014, Atir 12, ETABS 2016, office 2013 and others. |
