The aim of this project is to design the structural elements of all buildings. These
buildings consist of concrete that contains slabs, beams, columns, foundations and
walls.
Initially, the project consists of seven floors and a one basement floor, where each
building contains facilities that suit the needs of the hotel 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
2019, Atir 18, ETABS 18, office 2010 and others. |
