CALCULATION REPORT

UNIT 4 (HIGH RISE BULDING)

The concept for structural design focuses on satisfying the functional, the safety, and the economic
requirements of the building without jeopardizing its aesthetic and architectural features.

This calculation report presents the structural engineering aspect of Hotel located in Cairo, EGYPT.

It contains 3 basements and 19 floors (total of 22 floors).

2. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

2.1. DESIGN CODES AND STANDARD

All design shall be prepared in accordance with the below listed relevant codes:

o ECP (203-2007) Egyptian Code of Practice for Design and

Construction of Concrete Structures
o ECP (201-2012) Egyptian Code for Loading on Buildings
o ECP (202-2001) Egyptian Code of Practice for Foundation

2.2. STRUCTURAL LOADS

The following loads are considered in the design:

a. Structural Dead Loads which include:

o The own weight of the structural elements, slabs, columns, and walls.
o Superimposed dead load from floorings and partitions.
b. Live loads which cover the occupants, furniture, and mechanical equipment.
c. Earth pressure on the external walls.
d. Wind loads on the external façade and roof.
e. Seismic loads according to ECP.
The basis for the considered design loads are summarized in the followings sections.

2.2.1. Dead Loads

 Unit weight of concrete elements 25.0 kN/m³
 Flooring shall be:
 Typical floor 1.5 kN/m²
 Toilets 1.5 kN/m²
 Roof 1.5 kN/m²

 Walls unit weight 18.0 kN/m³

2.2.2. Live Loads

Live loads for the different zone areas shall be calculated in accordance with (ECP 201-2012)
as follows (uniformly distributed in kN/m²):
 Rooms 2.5
 Services and reception 4
 Garages 5

 2.3. LOADS COMBINATIONS
Load combination are defined according to ECP 203-2007, section 3-2-1-1 as follows:

2.3.1. Factored combinations

 For elements subjected to live loads.
U = 1.4D + 1.6L
 If the live load does not exceed 75% of the dead load, the following combination may be
used.
U = 1.5 (D+L)

2.3.2. Earthquake Loads

The following seismic parameters which are based on the geotechnical data were determined
using a guide geotechnical report (but not the final one) that corresponds to the building plot. After
submitting the final geotechnical report to the structural consultant, the building design will be
checked using the updated seismic parameters.

 Response modification factor (R = 5)

 Importance factor ( i = 1.2)
 The design acceleration (ag = 0.15g)
 Design damping correction factor ( = 1.0)
 All others parameters (S, Tb, Tc, Td) to be obtained according to the type of soil.
(assumed soil type A)

2.4. LOADS COMBINATIONS

Load combination are defined according to ECP 203-2007, section 3-2-1-1 as follows:

2.4.1. Factored combinations

 For elements subjected to live loads.
U = 1.4D + 1.6L
 If the live load does not exceed 75% of the dead load, the following combination may be
used.
U = 1.5 (D+L)
 For elements subjected to live loads and lateral loads due to earth pressure or liquids (
in case of Tanks, the factor " YF " will be replaced from 1.6E to 1.4E )
U = 1.4D + 1.6(E+L)
 For elements subjected to live loads and lateral loads due to wind or earthquake (take
the higher value from two equations)
U = 0.8 (1.4D + 1.6L + 1.6W)
U = 1.12D + αL + S

Where α = 0.5 (For hotels)

  For cases where the dead load leads to building stability, the combination will be as
follows:
U = 0.9D
U = 0.9D + 1.6E
U = 0.9D + 1.3W
U = 0.9D + S
 Dynamic loads can be considered as an equivalent static load, and the ultimate load will
be:
U = 1.4D + 1.6L + 1.6K

Where:
U = ultimate load design
D = dead load
L = live load
E = earth pressure or liquid pressure
W = wind load design
S = seismic load design
T= Self-straining load
K= Dynamic loads

2.4.2. Unfactored combinations

 Service loads are taken as follows:
S=D+L
S=D+L+W
S = D + αL/1.2 + S/1.4
 For cases where the dead load leads to building stability, the combination will be as
follows:
S = 0.9D
S = 0.9D + W
S = 0.9D + S/1.4
