Abstract
structural part in any project is consider as a crucial part of the project’s architecture ,
based on this thought, we turned to this aspect of civil engineering.
Due to the urgent need of the old city of Tulkarm to multistory parking, this architectural
design (Panorama Parking and Mall) was presented as a part of a competition during the
year 2021. The mentioned design is still on paper till now.
The design achieved the main goal which is a multi-story parking with a capacity of 313
vehicles in addition to a shopping center and other supplements.
The height of the structure is 50.00 m above the ground level and 12.24 m below the
ground level with a total area equal to 36 000 square meters distributed over 16 stories,
including 3 basements and roof, ten of them are parking. The project area is elevated 83
meters above sea level.
It is worth mentioning that the structure was separated into two parts connected using
expansion joints.
In this graduation project, all structural elements will be designed as a gravity and Seismic-
force-resisting system which includes floor and roof construction including two-way
ribbed and solid slabs, Beams and joists, Columns, Walls, Diaphragms, Foundations, Joints,
connections, and anchors as required to transmit forces from one component to another.
Each element will be designed according to the site and the surrounding environmental
conditions to obtain a safe, serviceable and economical structural design, using ACI 318-
19, ASCE 7-22, and other codes needed as a reference.
This project was designed in two steps, the first step was understanding the architectural
drawings, estimating the expected loads, taking safety coefficients and modeling the
structure
with ETABS, the second step included the design of the structural elements such as slabs,
beams, columns and walls.
all structural elements were designed based on the specifications and standards of the
codes to obtain a safe and economic design. Structural drawings were be developed using
AutoCAD.
