Abstract:
The main idea of this project is to design a new building for medical school
students. We worked on preparing the structural designs for this residential
building, which consists of six floors in addition to a ground floor and a
basement, with a total area of 18,199.55 m². Our goal is to provide complete
structural designs for all building elements, including slabs, beams, columns,
walls, and foundations, among others.
The Jordanian Load Code was approved, while the American codes (ACI 318-14)
were adopted for various structural designs, and the American code (ASCE) was
used for seismic loads.
Structural analysis and design programs such as BEAMD, ETABS 18, and SAFE
were utilized, along with other software like Microsoft Office (Word,
PowerPoint, Excel) and AutoCAD. Finally, the required construction drawings for
all structural elements were prepared to ensure the design is ready for
implementation.
