Abstract:
This project provides a complete structural design for a hotel located in Beit Sahour area - the
PEARLS HOTEL. It consists of seven floors in addition to a parking floor underground, with a
total area of 8695 M2. This design is based on the Jordanian Code for determining live loads and
for determining earthquake loads, yet the American Code is used for the structural analysis and
the design of sections. Moreover, it must be noted that the design was done depending on some
computer programs such as: (Etabs, Safe, Atir, Autocad). The project includes studying and
understanding architectural plans, distributing columns and bridges, and studying the building
sructurally, so that the structural elements, the loads were determined and the structural systems
approved for structural regulations. The appropriate design of the building and the complete
design of these structural elements and the preparation of operational plans for the project,
including sections for all the structural elements in the building and taking them out with high
accuracy and in a way that can be implemented on the ground.
