Design of a Residential Building (2)

This report presents the structural design of a residential building in Zalka, Beirut, incorporating load analysis, modeling with ETABS, and compliance with ASCE 7-16 and ACI 318-14 codes. This work follows the structural design process through multiple stages, starting with collecting data on the landsite and usage loads, identifying various types of loads and effects such as gravity, seismic, and wind. The conceptual design was based on preliminary architectural drawings, followed by structural analysis using a 3D finite element model to optimize the design. The loads, combinations, dimensioning, and design of structural components and connections were conducted to meet American standards and codes. The design addressed gravity, seismic, and wind loads, including the flat slabs of each floor. Structural analysis software was used to verify and optimize each element under its respective limit states while assessing the structure globally. This project enhanced our understanding of essential structural design methods and tools, providing valuable insights for a professional civil engineering career.
