Advanced Structural Design Project: Wind Load, Column, and Foundation

This assignment provides a comprehensive analysis of advanced structural design principles, beginning with detailed wind load calculations for a building, considering both ultimate and serviceability limit states for the tower and podium. It includes the design of mullions, applying Australian Standard 1664.2:1997, and utilizes MicroStran software to determine bending moments. The document then explores deflection calculations, including shrinkage and creep, for cantilever beams, and discusses methods to resist wind loads, such as internal structural paths, deep foundations, and aerodynamic shaping. Furthermore, it delves into column design, foundation types (pile foundations), and the benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the design process. Finally, the assignment concludes with an overview of tensile structures, including design criteria, load calculations, and classification of tensile structures.
