5 Storey building

Overview

This is a 5-storey building located in Athens, Greece, with a load-bearing structure made of reinforced concrete.
In this project, the scope of work included updating the ETABS model to reflect the latest architectural drawings and carrying out the structural design of the beams and shear walls.
Additionally, a verification was carried out for the raft foundation due to changes in the building’s loading. Special attention was given to checking the torsional flexibility of the structure, as it consists exclusively of shear walls that are mostly aligned in one direction. Finally, the formworks for all the floors were updated as well as the construction drawings for the connections between reinforced concrete and steel elements.
For the audit of the structural design, ETABS was used and for the structural plan drawings (rebar drawings, rebar detailing) AutoCad was used.
