Abstract
The main aim of the graduation project is to select and design the most suitable foundation
system or systems of Saint Elias Hotel in Bethlehem, Beit sahour. The hotel has 12 floor
and the average area of floors is 1200 m2.
The main problem in designing the foundation is the low bearing capacity of the natural

studied in this project either to use deep foundation or perfuming soil improvement of the
soil at the site.
At the end a suitable foundation system will be selected and designed according to
standards. Foundation details (size, thickness, reinforcement, etc.)
