Abstract
Structural analysis has been an engineering method which developed throughout the last 50 years, in which it gives consultants and structural designers the ability to identify the problems a building might encounter and how to avoid these issues in the future. This graduation project will be focusing on the astonishing structure which is Princess Tower, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the 36th tallest building on the globe.
Moreover, this skyscraper has an architectural elevation of 414 meters, above ground level, and a total floor area of 171,175 m2. It is a 101 – story building with additional 6 basement floors.
To explain more, the tower is divided into 6 basement floors, a ground floor, 2 health clubs. Then, there is 16 floors of typical design (similar stories), in addition to 2 service floors.
To continue, there is 26 floors with the same design to the previous ones and with 2 service floors and a final 18 floors with the same typical design.
Another part was designed as 8 floors but with a different design to the previous stories, plus 1 service floor.
Furthermore, 11 floors were constructed with a dissimilar design to the underneath floors with 2 entertainment clubs and a business center.
Finally, on the top there is 4 floors with a totally contrasting design and 1 service floor.
To sum up, an expected outcome would be briefly to match the imposed Palestinian Building Code and design criteria, and to check if anything in the analysis phase doesn't satisfy the intended serviceability.
