Abstract

This project aims to apply the theoretical knowledge that has been acquired during the years of study through making a complete analysis and design of a 9-story residential building with an estimated total area of 3222.1 m2. In this regards, the architectural plans of the building were studied. Then structural planning of the building was done, in which the location of columns and beams was determined to fit with the architectural plans. A detailed structural study also was carried out to estimate loads that act oneachmemberusingtheJordaniancodeforgravityloadsestimationand(ASCE7-16)codefor the definition of lateral seismic loads.

Finally, structural working drawings were prepared to present the reinforcement details of all members.
