Abstract
Our project is the study of Rawabi Town Centre building Phase 06. The building consists of
two blocks, and is mainly used for business meetings and recreation .It consists of 9 floors
with a building plan area of 1840 𝑚2of multi-functional uses.
This project has actually been built in Rawabi by AECOM Company and Ziadah engineering
office.
In this project only a single block will be considered. The building will be designed for
earthquake and gravity loading , In phase one of the project only gravity loading ,conceptual
and computer models (AutoCAD , Etabs) will be considered, then in phase two of the project
lateral loading will be considered . Analysis and design checks will be made by hand.
First, load will be taken from ASCE 07-16 Code. Then the structural system and type of slab
will be selected. After that, super imposed loads will be calculated for each panel. Finally, the
modeling of the building will be finished with an initial check for earthquakes loads.
