Structural Designing of 13-Storied Residential Building Project

This project details the structural design and analysis of a 13-storied residential building, focusing on earthquake resistance and efficient design. The student, acting as an engineering technologist, utilized ETABS software for structural analysis, considering linear static material properties and type II soil conditions. The project involved developing engineering drawings, preparing bill of quantities (BOQ), and ensuring the design's safety and efficiency. The student's responsibilities included technical support, design accuracy, and project management, including the resolution of issues related to column quantities. The project emphasizes the application of structural design theory, engineering skills, and collaborative teamwork to achieve a safe and cost-effective design. The project also involved seismic analysis using ETABS, comparing software and manual calculations, and ensuring the structural integrity of the building under design earthquake loadings.
