Additionally, the ground floor has stores with an area of 497.2m2.
In this project, the structural design of the building was conducted under static and seismic loads. Manual and software analysis (SAP 2000) were conducted to design all structural elements of the project including slabs, beams, columns, footing, and shear walls. The structural elements were designed as reinforced concrete members according to strength and serviceability criteria as specified in ACI 318-08, for seismic design UBC-97\IBC2009 were used. Full detail drawings were prepared using AutoCAD for designed structural elements
