Analysis and Design.ppt (Size: 6.2 MB / Downloads: 1,721)
Objectives
The Objectives of the Project are:-
Carrying out a complete analysis and design of the main structural elements of a multi-storey building including slabs, columns, shear walls and foundations
Getting familiar with structural softwares ( SAFE ,AutoCAD)
Getting real life experience with engineering practices
General Approach
Obtaining an architectural design of a regular residential multi-storey building.
Al-Suwaidy residential building in Abu Dhabi.
Establishing the structural system for the ground, and repeated floors of the building.
The design of column, wind resisting system, and type of foundations will be determined taking into consideration the architectural drawings.
Types of building
Buildings are be divided into:
Apartment building
Apartment buildings are multi-story buildings where three or more residences are contained within one structure.
Office building
The primary purpose of an office building is to provide a workplace and working environment for administrative workers.
Columns
It is a vertical structural member supporting axial compressive loads, with or with-out moments.
Support vertical loads from the floors and roof and transmit these loads to the foundation.
Conclusion
We have applied our gained knowledge during our graduation project
We are able to use structural software ( SAFE )
We have practiced real life engineering practices
This GP enables us to go into the market with an excellent background regarding design of RC
At this point, we would like to thank all instructors, engineers, and Al Ain Consultant Office for their grateful effort.
