Objectives
The Objectives of the Project are:-
 Carrying out a complete analysis and design of the main
structural elements of a multi-storey building including slabs,
columns, shear walls and foundations
 Getting familiar with structural softwares ( SAFE ,AutoCAD)
 Getting real life experience with engineering practices
2
Summary
 Our graduation project is a residential building in Abu- Dhabi.
This building consists of 12 repeated floors.
3
General Approach
 Obtaining an architectural design of a regular residential multi-
storey building.
 Al-Suwaidy residential building in Abu Dhabi.
 Establishing the structural system for the ground, and repeated
floors of the building.
 The design of column, wind resisting system, and type of
foundations will be determined taking into consideration the
architectural drawings.
4
Types of building
 Buildings are be divided into:
 Apartment building
 Apartment buildings are multi-story buildings where three or more
residences are contained within one structure.
 Office building
 The primary purpose of an office building is to provide a workplace and
working environment for administrative workers.

Concrete Mixtures
 Concrete is a durable material which is ideal for many jobs.
 The concrete mix should be workable.
 It is important that the desired qualities of the hardened concrete
are met.
 Economy is also an important factor.
8
Structural Elements
Any reinforced concrete structure consists of :
 Slabs
 Columns
 Shear walls
 Foundations
9
Flat Slab Structural System
Flat slab is a concrete slab which is reinforced in two directions
 Advantages
 Disadvantages
10
Types of Flat slab
11
Defining properties
 Slab thickness = 23 cm
 Concrete compressive strength = 30 MPa
 Modules of elasticity of concrete = 200 GPa
 Yielding strength of steel = 420 MPa
 Combination of loads (1.4Dead Load + 1.6 Live Load)
12
ACI 318-02
 ACI 318-02 contains the current code requirements for
concrete building design and construction.
 The design load combinations are the various
combinations of the prescribed load cases for which the
structure needs to be checked.
1.2 DL + 1.6 LL
13

Flat Slab Analysis and Design
 Analyzing of flat slab mainly is done to find
1. Shear forces.
2. Bending moment.
3. Deflected shape.
4. Reactions at supports.
14
14
Results and Discussion
 Deflection
15
Results and Discussion
Reactions at supports must be checked by a simple method.
16
Columns
 It is a vertical structural member supporting axial
compressive loads, with or with-out moments.
 Support vertical loads from the floors and roof and
transmit these loads to the foundation.
17
Types of column
Spiral column Rectangular
column
• Tied Columns
Over 95% of all columns in building in non-seismic regions are tied columns
• Spiral Columns
Spiral columns are generally circular. It makes the column more ductile.
18
Steel Reinforcement in Columns
 The limiting steel ratio ranges between 1 % to 8 %.
 The concrete strength is between 25 MPa to 45 Mpa.
 Reinforcing steel strength is between 400 MPa to 500 Mpa.
19
Design procedure
1. Calculate factored axial load Pu
2. Select reinforcement ratio
3. Concrete strength = 30 MPa, steel yield strength = 420 MPa
4. Calculate gross area
5. Calculate area of column reinforcement, As, and select rebar
number and size.
20
Columns to be designed
21
Guidelines for Column Reinforcement
 Long Reinforcement
 Min. bar diameter Ø12
 Min. concrete covers 40 mm
 Min. 4 bars in case of tied rectangular or circular
 Maximum distance between bars = 250 mm
 Short Reinforcement ( Stirrups)
Least of:
 (16)×diameter of long bars

Shear walls
 A shear wall is a wall that resists
lateral wind loads which acts
parallel to the plane of the wall.
25
Shear walls
 Wind results in a pressure on the surface of the building
 Pressure increases with height
 Positive Pressure, acts towards the surface of the building
 Negative Pressure, acts away from the surface of the building
(suction)
26
Wind pressure
 q = Velocity pressure
 (Wind speed, height and exposure condition)
 G = Gust factor that depends on the building stiffness
 Cp = External pressure coefficient
27
Gust G Factor & External pressure Cp coefficient
 for Stiff Structures take G =0.85
 Windward Wall, Cp = +0.8
 Leeward Wall, Cp = varies between -0.2 & -0.5
 Depending on the L/B Ratio
 L/B = 18.84 m /26.18 m = 0.719 < 1 then , Cp = -0.5
28
Velocity Pressure
 V = 160 km/h
 Kz = To be determined from the equations
 Kzt = 1 (level terrain adjacent to the building – not on hill)
 Kd = 0.85 (rectangular building)
 I = 1 (use group II)

Pile foundation
 Our building is rested on a weak soil formation which
can’t resist the loads coming from our proposed building,
so we have to choose pile foundation.

42
Pile foundation
 Piles are structural members that are made of steel,
concrete or timber.
43
Function of piles
 As with other types of foundation, the purpose of a pile
foundation is:
 To transmit a foundation load to a solid ground
 To resist vertical, lateral and uplift load
 Piles can be
 Timber
 Concrete
 Steel
 Composite
44
Concrete piles
General facts
 Usual length: 10m-20m
 Usual load: 300kN-3000kN
Advantages
 Corrosion resistance
 Can be easily combined with a concrete superstructure
Disadvantages
 Difficult to achieve proper cutoff
 Difficult to transport
45
Pile foundation
Piles can be divided in to two major categories:
1. End Bearing Piles
If the soil-boring records presence
of bedrock at the site within a reasonable depth,
piles can be extended to the
rock surface
2. Friction Piles
When no layer of rock is present depth at a site, point bearing piles become very
long and uneconomical. In this type of subsoil, piles are driven through
the softer material to specified depths.
46
Pile Cap Reinforcement
 Pile caps carrying very heavy point loads tend to produce high
tensile stresses at the pile cap.
 Reinforcement is thus designed to provide:
 Resistance to tensile bending forces in the bottom of the cap
 Resistance to vertical shear
47
Design of the pile cap
 bearing capacity of one pile:
Rs = α ⋅ Cu ⋅ As .L
 Length of pile penetration L = 18 meters
 Adhesion factor of soil (clay) α = 0.8
 Untrained shear strength Cu = 50
 Diameter = 0.9 m
 For piles with diameter 0.9 m
Rs = 2035.75 KN
48
First type
 This section shows how pile caps are designed to carry
only vertical load, and the equation used to determine
the resistance of cap is
Where
P is the strength of the pile cap per one pile
Q is the total force acting on the pile cap
n is the number of piles used to support the pile cap

Design of pile cap (Vertical Load only)
 Pile Cap 2
 Reaction = 4610.4 kN
 Pile diameter = 0.9 m
 Capacity for one pile = 0.8 * 50 * 18 * π * 0.9 = 2035.75 KN
 Need 3 piles
 Length between piles = (2*0.3) + (3*0.9) + (2*0.9)*2 =6.9 m
 Width = 1.5 meters

Economical impact
 Reinforced concrete is proven to be a very economical
solution in the UAE.
 the most affordable solution for multistory building such
as the one we are making the analysis and design for.
53
Environmental impact
 Although the cement production is environmentally
challenging, the final product of a reinforced concrete
building is environmentally friendly.
54
Conclusion
 We have applied our gained knowledge during our graduation
project
 We are able to use structural software ( SAFE )
 We have practiced real life engineering practices
 This GP enables us to go into the market with an excellent
background regarding design of RC
 At this point, we would like to thank all instructors, engineers,
and Al Ain Consultant Office for their grateful effort.

End Bearing Piles If the soil-boring records presence of bedrock at the site within a reasonable depth, piles can be extended to the rock surface 2. Friction Piles When no layer of rock is present depth at a site, point bearing piles become very long and uneconomical. In this type of subsoil, piles are driven through the softer material to specified depths.
