Abstract
This project is mainly a structural analysis and design of a hotel building constructed in Nablus. The building consists of seven floors and will be used primarily as a hotel. The design is accomplished according to the ACI-318 code, and a CSI ETABS is used as a structural analysis and design program. Moreover, hand calculations are executed to verify the output.  This project included a detailed design of all structural elements in the building such as slabs, beams, columns and footings. Furthermore, a 3D-designed model for the whole building and a dynamic analysis was done in order to study the behavior under earthquake. Since we assumed that the foundation was rigid when we designed the building and that the building was rigid when we designed the foundation we will also perform a soil structure interaction study to explain the results we got.   The importance of the project resides in the difficulty of connecting stories of different uses. A project may have what is considered a good design and yet problems will arise when attempting to connect it with the other stories. We aim to solve this problem by starting with the form first and then the function (if time permits).
