Abstract
The purpose of this report is to propose a scenario which required a design of the gravity system
and earthquake resistance of residential buildings in Ramallah.
Reinforced concrete structure are one of the most popular structure systems in our country, this
project addresses the analysis and design of a reinforced concrete structural system that is located
in Ramallah, Consists of buildings which The building consists of three apartments on each floor
with total area of floor 455m2.Where the first two floors of the project is parking and apartment
for children's games under the street level and then are residential apartments and also contains an
elevator.
The framing arrangement and column locations of the building were provided based on
architectural and structural requirements and covers the design process in the following order: the
calculation of the expected loads on the structure, the design of the beam reinforcement for both
flexural and shear, the calculation to check beam deflections, the estimation of the column sizes
and finally the design of the column reinforcement.
The project outline will be as follows: Firstly, introduction about the project including details about
the architectural design. Secondly, preliminary design according to ACI 318-14 code will be
performed. Thirdly, a 3D model and design it using ETABS16 program will be constructed.
Finally, fully detailed steel reinforcements plans & drawings will be done using AutoCAD
program.
The main methodology is to make comparison between 1D and 3D model to check the correctness
of the program analysis under the same assumptions. In this project, we are looking forward to
fulfill analysis laws and design requirements. Also, this in turn will give us an experience to design
an efficient building versus gravity loads and seismic loads.
