Abstract:
The project aims to make a structural design for all the structural
elements of a 5-storey hospital, with a total area of 4000 m2.
This is due to the importance of the structural design, as it is one of
the most important stages that the building goes through, in which
the locations of the columns and the structural systems for the
various elements of the building are determined, and thus the initial
architectural plans are converted into executable plans.
In order to achieve the goal of the project, the architectural plans
were initially studied and the most appropriate mechanism was
selected for distributing the structural elements in a way that does
not contradict the architectural design of the building, Based on the
Jordanian code for loads. After that we based on the American code
ACI318-14 to design all of the structural elements by using a set of
engineering programs. In the end, the executive plans were prepared
for all the structural elements of the building structure to make the
building feasible.
