Project 4
Project Name & Job Title: Based on the request of Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Trade located in Zamalek
province, Cairo, Egypt, to conduct a complete structural design for administrative steel building consists of
four-stories.
Details What I Personally Performed in this Project:
I analyzed and designed the 4th stories steel administrative building consist of steel columns, steel beams ,
composite beams, composite deck slabs & concrete spread footings. Due to the higher value of live loads in
the typical stories(1 ton/m2), because they will use as administrative office rooms and archive document
storage, and due to the higher height of the ground floor and typical ones, so, I decided to design this
structure as a steel structure rather than concrete one. Because this will be more economical and faster to
construct.
I prepared 3D finite element model by Csi ETABS software (See to image below) and I analyze and design the
structure according to AISC USA Manual of Steel Construction (AISC ASD 89). The total construction cost of
this building was 15 million Egyptian pounds.
