The Structural Design For A Treatment Hotel Project

Abstract

This project aims to design a therapeutic hotel, which is a very luxurious construction project. The hotel is located in the city of Hebron - Nimra. The land area allocated for the project is 18,500 square meters. The building was designed to occupy an area of 2,580 square meters of the total area of the land, with the remaining area allocated to green spaces and recreational facilities. Due to the large area of the project, we faced many construction challenges, the most important of which was the distribution of the structural system of columns, bridges, nodes, walls, and foundations, and determining the locations of expansion joints, as this project is characterized by the diversity of architectural design from floor to floor, which posed a challenge in distributing columns and determining Their locations affected the distribution and design of slabs and bridges, so we will resort to using safe and economical solutions, such as choosing the appropriate types of knots for the structural system. The analysis and design has been done by using structural design programs such as and not limited (SAFE) (ETABS), (Atir), (AutoCAD) and (Excel). The results obtained lead to the development of an integrated structural design that meets the standards of the ACI-318-19 Structural Design Code, in addition to meeting the owner’s desires and ensuring complete safety. The hotel's architectural aesthetic standards are also taken into account to ensure harmony and visual appeal.
