    Integrated Civil Engineering Design Project (Building Structure Design Example)

    Uploaded by

    mohammed_fathelbab
    This document outlines considerations for the structural engineering design of a building project, including site construction factors, tower design approaches for cases of buildings ranging from 15 to 57 stories, preliminary computer modeling of the tower and podium structures, and checking of critical structural elements and loading schedules. The focus is on providing a cost-effective structural solution while meeting requirements for building stiffness, member sizing, and deflection limits.

    Any

    site construction difficulties

    Site Access Construction platform Foundation option Time for completion

    Tower

    Design

    To provide a cost-effective solution

    Case A : 45 storey
    Lack of flexibility by structural element

    End wall should be effectively used as shear wall to provide better stiffness

    To enhance the stiffness of building by linking the walls as much as possible

    Lack of flexibility by structural element

    Too much wall

    No support for slab

    Wall not allowed in front of stairs

    Too much wall

    Beam ahead bedroom

    End wall should be effectively used as shear wall to provide better stiffness

    Structural Framing Plan

    Secondary Beam for gravity load only Aspect ratio = 45x3/19 =7.0

    Lintel Beam For both wind load and gravity load

    Case B: 15 storey

    Aspect ratio = 15x3/60 =0.75 Column structure used

    Case C: 57 storey

    Aspect ratio = 57x3/24.3 =7.03

    Podium Structure
    To

    confirm the column layout under transfer structure confirm the transfer plate/column layout

    To To

    confirm the size of transfer structure (e.g. thickness of transfer plate) the tower loading and estimate the size of transfer structure size

    Evaluate

    Preliminary Computer Model


    Use

    the effective members for first model

    Estimate

    the member size for model input based on gravity load first and provide some reserve for wind load (say 20 ~40% of wind load) Check top deflection < H/500

    Only analysis the critical wind direction Only use the effective members for modeling

    Minor wall not selected for preliminary modeling

    Width of building to calculate the wind load

    For preliminary model, only typical floor is used to simulate the whole tower.
    Building height should be maintained

    Tower model

    Podium model

    Element Checking
    Check

    critical lintel beam force (e.g. check wind shear stress v=V/bd ) critical element force (e.g. wall element under high compression/tension)

    Check

    Loading Schedule Checking

    Check average gravity load (Total D+L/Gross Floor Area = 15~20 KN/m2

    Total axial force = 0

    Check total wind shear force = total wind force applied at the building
