DESIGN OF JENAN BUILDING

Abstract

Our structural  building  represents  a multifunctional  system which lies on Rafedia Street.  It will be designed to resist gravity loads as well as earthquakes.   To reflect the reality structure we need a suitable structural model.  This is accomplished by performing  a 3D  analysis for the building under static and dynamic loads. The analysis is verified using conceptual hand calculations for 1D models. Detailed design using  manual and software program "SAP2000" will also be presented.  Comparison between our conceptual  analysis/design  and the results from SAP   will be high lightened. We expect the structural elements thickness to be fine; however we look forward to see results of comparisons between dynamic and static analysis results.
