This document outlines Qalid Said Mohamed's graduation project on the architectural and structural design of a four-story reinforced concrete residential building. The project includes the architectural design, structural design of columns, beams, and cross-sections. Loads on the structure are also analyzed, including dead, live, and environmental loads. Reinforced concrete is chosen as the main material due to its strength and moldability.

• 5111600405 • CE2016 • 1. Introduction • 2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT • 3. Architectural design • 4. Structural design • 5. Cross section • 6. Loads • ON • Myreport outlines the Architectural and Structural design of a four-story Reinforced Concrete Residential building. • My project design is based on analyzing the strength of Reinforced concrete as concrete is the main material of this kind of building frame. • Reinforced concrete is one of the most widely used modern building materials. Fresh concrete can be molded into almost any shape, which is an inherent advantage over other materials. • The whole purpose of this report is to explain the preliminary design process for this four- story Reinforced Concrete Residential building according to the Chinese Codes. So, the thickness of the slab is to be decided then the calculation of the loads on the structure. Then the estimation of the column and beam sizes was calculated, and self-weight of these components on the structure were to be determined. Finally, this report will detail both the technical design process as well as the reasons for each type of reinforcement and each step in the design process. • NOWLEDGEMENT • I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor and my teachers for all his time, encouragement they rendered to me throughout my time at Jiangsu University. I would also like to acknowledge the crucial role played by the staff at Jiangsu University and my fellow students, without these people I wouldn’t have reached this far in my pursuit for this degree in which I would have all this knowledge in regards to civil engineering.This also goes out to my family who supported me throughout this journey. Without them it wouldn’t have been possible. Special mention goes to my parents who believed in me and my capabilities and continued pushing me to finish my studies.Thank you to all civil engineering faculty for making this journey enjoyable and informative. CHITECTURAL DESIGN • This residential building has a total surface area of 480m2, this building has 4 floors that are all similar in area and layout. Construction of this structure has to be economically within a certain budget. Architectural Designs are both the process and the product of planning and designing of buildings and other physical structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Architectural design is the concept that focuses on the components of a structure or system and unifies them into a coherent and functional whole, according to a particular approach in obtaining the objective(s)/ aim(s) under the given limitations. TURAL DESIGN • The structural design for a building must ensure that the building is able to stand up safely, able to function without excessive deflections or movements which may cause fatigue of structural elements, cracking or failure of fixtures, fittings, partitions, or discomfort for occupants. It must account for movements and forces due to temperature, creep, cracking and imposed loads. It must also ensure that the design is practically buildable within acceptable manufacturing tolerances of the materials and the recommended design codes. It must allow the architecture to work, and the building services to fit within the building and function (air conditioning, ventilation, smoke extract, electrics, lighting etc.). The structural design of a modern building can be extremely complex, and often requires software to be completed. TION • For the reinforcement of the column, the shape of the column plays a major role. If the shape of the column is a rectangular shape, mostly the tied reinforcement is used, but if the shape of the column is circular, mostly the spiral reinforcement is used. For my column specifically, the shape is rectangular and so the reinforcement type used is tied reinforcement.Below is the column section as generated from the ETABS software. • • A beam bends under bending moment, resulting in a small curvature which is also known as tensile failure. • For this office building, the rectangular beam was used. • • Perhaps the most important and most difficult task faced by the structural designer is the accurate estimation of the loads that may be applied to a structure during its life. No loads that may reasonably be expected to occur may be overlooked. After loads are estimated, the next problem is to decide the worst possible combinations of these loads that might occur at one time. These loads can be divided into three categories:• Dead Loads• Live Loads• Environmental Loads • Dead loads are loads of constant magnitude that remain in one position. They include the weight of the structure under consideration as well as any fixtures that are permanently attached to it. For a reinforced concrete building, some dead loads are the frames, walls, floors, ceilings, stairways, roofs, and plumbing. • Live loads are loads that can change in magnitude and position. They include occupancy loads, warehouse materials, construction loads, overhead service cranes, equipment operating loads, and many others. In general, they are induced by gravity. • Environmental loads are loads caused by the environment in which the structure is located. For buildings, they are caused by rain, snow, wind, temperature change, and earthquake. • Thanks
