The aim of this project is to design the structural elements of all buildings. These
buildings consist of concrete and steel works that contain slabs, beams, columns,
foundations walls and trusses.
The project consists of concrete building. concrete building consists of five stories and
two basements .
The building contains all facilities needed for the hospital to provide the services
according the appropriate modern requirements.
Moreover, the design of the project consists of many stages, which are represented by
studying the architectural sketches, choosing different kinds of structural elements
such as columns, beams and slabs that are not in contradiction 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
2019, Atir 18, ETABS 18, office 2010 and others. |
