Introduction
High-rise buildings:
Create with the heart; build with the mind. Criss Jami, Killosophy.
High-rise buildings "A multi-story structure between

35100 meters tall, or a building of unknown height from
1239 floors. High-rise buildings became a possible on the
ground fantasy with the invention of the elevator (lift) and
more available and cheaper building materials. The typical
materials used for the construction of high-rise buildings are
reinforced concrete and steel.
Designing a High-rise building and swimming pool requires mastering different structural
analysis procedures and computer Programs. It requires full attention to every single detail in
order to design a sustainable and safe building that meets the requirements of the Egyptian Code
of Practice (ECP-201), (ECP-202) & (ECP-203).
In designing my first unit I will be using the Ultimate Loads on the structure, in designing
with such way ECP-203 defines the Ultimate Strength Limit State in (ART 1-4) and (ART 3-1-1)
which specifies three limit states:
1. Ultimate Strength Limit States: By controlling design strength so that RC members resist
failure and the collapse of structures.
2. Stability Limit State: By controlling Uplifting, Sliding & overturning of structures.
6 | Page
3. Serviceability Limit State: By controlling deflections, cracks & vibrations in RC

members so that it can function properly in a serviceable manner and to maintain the
structure intended function without causing any discomfortment.
1.1 Motivation
I chose this project as I believe that it will combine a group of courses which I liked very
much and will help me pursuing my career after collage. Also, it will push my abilities and
knowledge in designing different types of reinforced concrete structures and it will help in
developing my insights as a student studying structural civil engineering in practicing the real
life designing methods to produce neat drawings and design sheets and learn using different
computer Programs.
1.2 Aim of the project
The aim of the project to fully design a reinforced concrete High-rise Building to be
considered as the first unit. The second unit is designing RC Swimming pool. One of the
purposes of this project is to gain the knowledge and experience of designing different types or
RC structures and producing neat structural drawings. I really hope that this paper will help other
structural engineering students and share the knowledge and experience obtained from working
in such project or similar ones to guide them through different analysis and designing
procedures.

Chapter 2
Background
Nowadays, R.C. and steel structures become the reason for the progress of any country in
the world. The most easy and economical solution in the whole world today, is to construct a
structure that can last for the future. Now, most of countries all over the world become proficient
in construct and build amazing and modern R.C. and steel structures with high safety, low price
and different shapes.
2.1 Concrete structure
Reinforced concrete structure is the most old. Safe and inexpensive material which used
all over the world to construct any building with high strength and safety which last for many
years up to 50 or 100 years.
2.1.1 Benefits of concrete

Concrete has a number of performance characteristics that can improve the sustainability
performance of a building or structure.
The issue of sound insulation and acoustic performance of homes has grown in
importance, primarily due to the growing demand from government for increased density of
urban dwellings. The number of complaints about noise has risen due both to this closer
proximity and the new demands placed on housing (e.g. entertainment systems). For this reason,
the UK Building Regulations Part E now requires improved sound insulation.
2.1.1.1 Flooding
New building works within areas of flood risk are only permitted in exceptional cases
where the risks are managed and adequate flood defense measures and/or flood resistant
construction techniques are adopted. The type of floor construction is an important consideration.
2.1.1.2 Fire
Concrete does not burn: it cannot be 'set on fire' like other materials in a building and it
does not emit any toxic fumes when affected by fire. It will also not produce smoke or drip
molten particles. For these reasons, in the majority of applications, concrete can be described as
8 | Page
virtually 'fireproof'. Concrete's inbuilt fire resistance maintains airtight construction that stops
smoke spreading, and the ability to maintain the building's strength during a fire.
2.1.1.3 Thermal mass and operational energy efficiency
Thermal mass basically describes the ability of construction materials to absorb, store and
release heat; a useful property which helps regulate the temperature in buildings. Heavyweight
materials such as concrete provide a high level of thermal mass, and this is often measured in
terms of something called 'admittance' which has units of W/m2 K.
2.1.1.4 Low carbon construction
Sustainability is more than simply about carbon, and this is recognized in codes and assessment
tools. However CO2 emissions, associated with materials, manufacture, construction, operation
and end of use, is an important parameter and the cement and concrete industry is investing
hugely in developing and enabling construction solutions that reduce whole life CO2 emissions
as well as embodied CO2.
2.1.1.5 Durability and long-life
The full structural capacity of a masonry or concrete wall, with its considerable reserve of
strength and ability to accommodate future changes, far exceeds design requirements. It is this
inherent robustness that has enabled traditionally built houses to cater for increased loads
emanating from alterations and adaptation. Their strength also facilitates the introduction of
concrete upper floors which provide clear spans between external walls and will support internal
masonry walls. All internal walls below become non-load bearing, producing a design where the
layout can be altered to cater for future changes in living requirements, so satisfying the
government's requirement for 'lifetime homes'.

2.2. Slab
2.2.1. Flat slab
Flat slab is a reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete columns without the use of
beams. Flat slab is defined as one sided or two-sided support system with sheer load of the slab
being concentrated on the supporting columns and a square slab called drop panels
Flat Slabs are considered suitable for most of the construction and for asymmetrical column
layouts like floors with curved shapes and ramps etc. The advantages of applying flat slabs are
many like depth solution, flat soffit and flexibility in design layout.
Types of Flat Slab Construction:
Simple flat slab

Flat slab with drop panels
Flat slab with column heads
Flat slab with both drop panels and column heads
Benefits of Using Flat Slab Construction Method
Flexibility in room layout

Saving in building height
Shorter construction time
Ease of installation of M&E services
Use of prefabricated welded mesh
Buildable score

2.2.2. Design of Flat slab
11 | P a g e
2.2.3.
Deflection of Flat
slab
Span/Relative
Deflection ratios should be determined between appropriate points in the
slab in order to check the slab thickness is sufficient.
12 | P a g e
2.2.4. Punching of Flat slab
Loads are transferred from the flat slab to the columns throughout:
1. The bending moment
2. The punching shear from the slab on the column
So that we should consider when designing the flat slab that it could sustain
both of those actions and according to ECP(203) we can check punching
according to
2.3. Columns
A reinforced concrete column is a

structural member designed to
carry compressive loads,
composed of concrete with an embedded steel frame to provide
reinforcement. For design purposes, the columns are separated into two
13 | P a g e
categories: short columns and slender columns
2.3.1. Slender Columns
If the increase in
moments due to lateral
deflection of the
member is greater than
10% then the ECP 203
class the behavior as
significant and require
that the additional
moments are
considered in the
members design.
2.4. Shear walls & cores
14 | P a g e
Shear wall is a structural member used

to resist lateral forces i.e. parallel to the plane
of the wall. For slender walls where the
bending deformation is more, Shear wall
resists the loads due to Cantilever Action. In
other words, Shear walls are vertical
elements of the horizontal force resisting
system.
In building construction, a rigid vertical diaphragm capable of

transferring lateral forces from exterior walls, floors, and roofs to the
ground foundation in a direction parallel to their planes. Examples are
the reinforced-concrete wall. Lateral forces caused by wind, earthquake,
and uneven settlement loads, in addition to the weight of structure and
occupants, create powerful twisting (torsional) forces. This leads to the
failure of the structures by shear.
The shape and plan position of the shear wall influences the behavior
of the structure considerably. Structurally, the best position for the shear
walls is in the center of each half of
the building. This is rarely
practical, since it also utilizes the
space a lot, so they are positioned
at the ends. It is better to use walls
with no openings in them. So,
usually, the walls around lift shafts
and stairwells are used. Also, walls on the sides of buildings that have no
windows can be used.
The reinforced concrete is the material used in the core sections.

Where the steel bars to resist the tension resulted from the moment exerted
on the core the core is the main elements responsible to resist the latera
loads. Any failure in the core could result the failure of the whole building. So
actually its considered as the backbone of the structure.
15 | P a g e
2.5 Design of Stairs

The loads on the stairs are applied according to ECP-201 that the
building is a hotel building so the live loads is taken 0.4 ton/m2 in
addition to the own weight of the inclined slab and the own weight of
the landing, and the floor cover is taken 0.2 ton/m2 for the inclined
slab and 1.8 ton/m2 for the landing. The analysis was done manually
by taking a strip in the long direction of stairs as the secondary
direction and a strip in short direction as the main direction. The long
direction is supported from both ends on the columns. Also, there is a
three stairs which are placed inside the building cores for the typical
stories. This required
calculation of the reaction of the
strip in the long direction to put as
load on a strip of the column to
determine the required additional
reinforcement in this location.
16 | P a g e
2.6. Loads
A structure stands by resisting its own load of beams, columns, foundations etc.
The occupancy of the structure, soil pressure, temperature variation, rain or snow fall,
earthquake, wind force also provides loads. So a structure has to resist all the loads to
stand strongly. A structural designer designs considering all the above loads. The acting
loads on a structure are classified into three
main categories according to their types.
Live Loads.
Dead Loads.
Lateral loads.
Wind load
Seismic load
The structural safety requires that the

strength of the structure be adequate for all
load that may foresee-ably act on it. The
strength of a structure could be predicted
accurately if the loads and their internal
effects (moment, shear, and axial force) were known accurately. Safety could be ensured
by providing a carrying capacity just over the known loads. What a general civil engineer
does is providing safety factor to a minimum extend as these loads can't be predicted
accurately.
2.6.1 Dead & Live Loads
Live loads are consisting of occupancy loads in buildings. They may be fully or
partially in place or not present at all and may change its location. Human, chair, table,
computer, bed, furniture etc. are live loads. Live loads may change its present location as
they are not lifetime part of a structure. So, in structural design live loads are provided a
larger safety factor than the others. All the structural loads are expressed in psm (per
square meter) in Egyptian Code of Practice (ECP).
Dead loads are those that are constant in magnitude and fixed in location
throughout the lifetime of the structure. Usually the major part of the dead load is the
self-weight of the structure. The dead load can be calculated accurately from the design
17 | P a g e
configuration, dimension of the structure and density of the material. The loads of the
beams, columns, foundations, slabs etc. are the dead loads of a structure.
Live loads require a greater value of safety factor than dead loads. Live loads are
given a safety factor of 1.6 and dead loads are given 1.4 in structural design. Basic
equation of total live load and dead load calculation is:
U = 1.4 D + 1.6 L
2.6.2 Lateral Loads:
Most lateral loads are whose main component is a horizontal force acting on the
structure. Typical lateral loads would be a wind load and earthquake load. Most lateral
loads vary in intensity depending on the building's geographic location, structural
materials, height and shape. The dynamic effects of wind and earthquake loads are
usually analyzed as an equivalent static load in smallest and moderate-sized buildings.
Others must refer to computer programs to be able to obtain more accurate results.
We took into consideration that our building is located in Cairo-Egypt,

accordingly we followed the seismic zone using the below map extracted from Egyptian
loading code. So we follow the ECP in calculating the mass source in
ETABS, as our building is a Hotel building so we multiplied the LL by
0.25
18 | P a g e
2.6.2. Wind Loads:
Wind means the motion of air in the atmosphere. The response of the structure to
wind depends on the characteristics of the wind and the geometry of the structure. Wind
loads act on the high rise building in the high floors generating a moment and lateral
forces (shear force) on the structure which can affect the building terribly and lead to
structure failure if it is not properly designed for.
Wind load affect the choice of the structural system for any structural building as
the wind affect the structure by adding an additional lateral force on the building. The
wind force and the parameters are known from the code; in this case, our reference case
is the Egyptian code. The wind loading codes are based on the wind speed collected by
meteorological departments and the results of these give us the characteristics of the wind
and its effect on the structures.
For this project, all the wind loads are assumed static and uniform. The wind
loads increase as the building increases in height and in width:
W.L. (kg/m2) = Ce k q
q = principle wind pressure
k = exposure factor
C e = external wind pressure factor
q = 0.5 x10-3 r V2 Ct Cs = . (kN/m2)

r = Aire density= 1.25 Kg/m3
V = wind velocity (m/sec)
C t = Topographic factor
C s = Structural factor (1.00 for
structures height < 60 m)
19 | P a g e
2.6.3. Seismic Loads:
Earthquake loads are another lateral load. They are very complex, uncertain, and
potentially more damaging than wind loads. Luckily that they do not occur frequently.
The earthquake creates ground movements that can be categorized as a "shake," "rattle,"
and a "roll." Every structure in an earthquake zone must be able to withstand the lateral
loads with different intensities. Although the ground under a structure may shift in any
direction, only the horizontal components of this movement are usually considered
critical in a structural analysis. It is assumed that a load-bearing structure which supports
properly calculated design loads for vertical dead and live loads are adequate for the
Horizontal component of the earthquake. The "static equivalent load" method is used to
design smallest and moderate-sized buildings and will be used in this project.
The seismic load resisting statical systems for earthquake loads are similar to
those for seismic loads. Both are designed as if they are horizontally applied to the
structural system especially the vertical elements. The wind load is considered to be more
of a constant force while the earthquake load is almost incrementally. The magnitude of
earthquake load depends up:
The mass of the structure.

The stiffness of the structural system.
The acceleration of the surface of the earthquake.
20 | P a g e
2.7 Design of raft Foundation

A foundation (or, more commonly, base) is the element of an architectural structure
which connects it to the ground, and transfers loads from the structure to the ground.
Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep. Foundation engineering is the
application of soil mechanics and rock mechanics (Geotechnical engineering) in the design of
foundation elements of structures. . Shallow foundations can be made in depths of as little as
(1m), while deep foundations can be made at depths of (20 - 65m). Shallow foundations are used
for small, light buildings, while deep ones are for large, heavy buildings.
In designing the raft I used computer programs so that it can help me in the calculation
for more accurate results. First step to design a raft will be on ETABS by exporting the basement
floor with its slab and the loads above but before importing the le into the software program and
import them to SAFE. Start working on the SAFE by entering the bearing capacity of the soil
which is 3 kg/cm2 and assign soil support so that SAFE understand it is rested on soil then run
the model and check that the displacement is less than the allowable to be in the safe zone. Then
check the bending moment to put the reinforcement of the raft.
21 | P a g e
2.8 Design of Retaining

Wall
There are many
approaches to design a
retaining wall, some of the
most common are: the
gravity walls, the
cantilevered walls and the
anchored walls. The gravity
wall basically depends on its
own weight to resist the
active pressure from the soil
behind it, while the
anchored wall uses tiebacks
driven in the retained soil to
hold the wall in place. The sequence of construction of retaining wall starts by an open
excavation till reaching the wall foundation, followed by constructing the retaining wall and
backfilling soil behind the wall. Backfilling is carried out in layers with limited thickness using
appropriate compactor and compaction energy to avoid adverse effect on the constructed wall.
The backfilling material is usually chosen to be free drainage material (cohesion less soil) to
avoid water accumulation behind the wall (usually sand).
Chapter 3
Calculation sheets
In this Chapter, I will elaborate my work in order to design the High-rise reinforced
concrete building.so I started designing of slabs followed by designing of columns and cores.
Using software programs like ETABS, SAFE, CSI columns and AutoCAD are preferable to be
used in order to solve complicated calculations and to insure the accuracy of the manual
calculation which would normally take long time to be done. Software programs can do a great
number of iterations to minimize errors and give an accurate result.

3.2 Loads:
By designing using the Egyptian Code of Practice (ECP), I used two types of
loads: vertical loads and lateral loads.
3.2.1 vertical loads:

The vertical loads been studied as shown in the table:

3.2.2 Lateral Loads :

Wind and seismic loads area applied according to the
Egyptian code of design and by using ETABS to apply
them on the model to get the loads results due to both
load case on the structure and to get the precise
calculations for them.
3.3 LOAD COMBINATIONS:
Static load cases were defined in ETABS using below mentioned:

Where Ex and Ey are the Earthquake lateral loads in x and y directions respectively.
3.4 Statical System
25 | P a g e
All floor slabs are designed as a flat slab system. Gravity

loads are resisted by both concrete columns and cores, while lateral loads
are resisted by reinforced concrete cores and shear walls.
2.5 Revit Model
26 | P a g e
Architectural plans were imported to Revit and assigned in their correct stories.
Materials and sections of the initial columns, flat slab of thickness 30 cm, cores and shear walls
of thickness 40 cm were defined. Afterwards, each column was placed in its correct location and
replicated till the top of the building to ensure its continuity and that it does not pass in a void,
door or a window. The same was done for cores and shear walls while the 30 cm flat slab section
was assigned to all building floors.

3.6.2 Design of Columns

Due to
o The great number of columns sections
o Load combinations that exceed 35 combinations
o Different force and moment values that act on each column
So, the manual solutions have become impossible to apply as they will consume
huge amount of time and effort without even giving results with the level of
accuracy needed in the analysis of such project. The columns in this unit were
designed using ETABS and then checked using (EGYPTION-CODE) Concrete
design Program (C.D.P) which design according to the Egyptian Code of Practice.
ETABS designs columns by calculating the required longitudinal steel, or if the
longitudinal steel is specified, the column stress condition is reported in terms of a
column capacity ratio, which is a factor that gives an indication of the stress
condition of the column with respect to the capacity of the column. The design
procedure for the reinforced concrete columns of the structure involves the
following steps:
