Multi-Storey Steel Office & Teaching

This thesis examines the design, engineering, and construction planning of a multi-storey steelframed building intended for both office and educational use. It addresses the dual challenge of creating a structure that is both functionally versatile and structurally sound. The study explores load-bearing calculations, seismic resistance, wind load considerations, and the optimization of steel as a primary construction material. It also discusses how architectural design can be harmonized with engineering requirements to create an environment that supports productivity, learning, and safety Employing advanced structural analysis software, the research simulates various load scenarios to ensure compliance with national and international building codes. It evaluates cost-benefit tradeoffs between different design choices, materials, and construction methods, emphasizing sustainability and lifecycle performance. The thesis also considers fire safety engineering, accessibility standards, and the integration of flexible interior layouts that allow for future adaptation. By combining technical rigor with practical application, it provides a blueprint for multifunctional building design in densely populated urban areas.
