STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF A RESIDENTIAL VILLA

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 5-story residential villa with an estimated total area of 1325 m 2 . 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 on each member using the Jordanian code for gravity loads estimation and (ASCE7-16) code for the definition of lateral seismic loads. Analysis and design then were done in accordance with ACI 318-14 Building code based on the ultimate strength method for concrete design and working stress method for soil design. That was using structural programs such as Atir BeamD, Found, SP Column, Safe 2016, and Etabs2018. Finally, structural working drawings were prepared to present the reinforcement details of all members
