Design of Faculty of Architecture and Design Building at ZUJ Campus

Summary

"This senior project is a multidisciplinary analysis and design of Architecture and Design Faculty at Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan Campus.

The goals of this project are to make a multi-disciplinary design including structural, highway, parking facility, landscaping and irrigation system design for the proposed building.

The methodology used to perform land surveying was dividing the area into grids with an equal segments and determination of each point elevation. The soil testing was following the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) for soil classification. While, the structural analysis and design of all elements in the project is following the Strength Design Method (SDM) that is based on the (ACI318-11M) provisions, as well as using various software assisting in the analysis and design. The highway design was accordance to the (AASHTO) provisions as well as using a software to make design procedure. Moreover, the parking system was designed with reference to the Guide to Planning Standards for Parking. Also, the plants used in landscaping was selected according to the zone of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in, with respect to the temperature degree and the consumbtion of water, and real-time landscaping software was used to design the specified areas and simulation of the final visual.

Quantity surveying was prepared using the obtained results of designed elements. The construction management part was responsible for time management by making a whole-life schedule for the project during the project phases and managing the available resources, tools, approaches and methods to get the target with the best results.

The selected design met all the design constraints presented above. The design developed is presented and concluded as attached in the structural design drawings, calculation sheets, drawings and reports."
