Abstract:
The aim of this project is to design the structural elements of the
building. These buildings consist of concrete and steel works that
contains slabs, beams, columns, foundations and walls.
First, the project consists of three floors, the first floor is ground floor
with area of (207.85 square meters), and the second floor, which is(
207.85 square meters) and the third floor is a Roof floor an area (89
VI
square meters), Where The Villa contain facilities that is designed to
suit the needs of the Villa 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 2016, Atir 12, ETABS 2015, office 2007 and others.
