Design of Select Elements of Reinforced Concrete Structure of 6-Story Office Building

This part focuses on the design of select elements of the reinforced concrete structure consisting of six above-ground floors and a basement. The main purpose of the thesis was to dimension the slab and two selected floor beams above the third floor. The calculations were carried out based on the ultimate limit states (ULS) and the serviceability limit states (SLS). An additional element was the calculation for the selection of a suitable solution for prefabricated balconies. The project began with a preliminary selection of the dimensions of the structural elements and the materials from which they would be made. Subsequently, a preliminary design was prepared, consisting of a schematic structural diagram of the repetitive floor and cross-section of the building. Based on the preliminary design, a load table and a 3D model of the structure were created in RFEM 5. In order to obtain the most accurate results, two different types of imposed loads were used in the calculation model: The ninth system, developed by Prof. Vladimir Starosolsky, was used for the design of the floor slab, and the strip load system was used for the design of the floor beams. After the calculation part was completed, the construction drawings of the designed elements were made.
