Programs Used In The Project  \n1.1 General Overview  \nAny building is supported by a framed arrangement known as Structure which is a system formed from the interconnection between structural members. The structural design requires an intelligent manner in making decisions regarding the systems of different structural elements and that cannot be achieved by an understanding of basic concepts of structures only. Rather, that understanding must be applied through practice.  \nFrom this point of view, a residential building was chosen to be designed and the reason for choosing this building is because it is the most common and most requested in the engineering labor market, because of the recent tendency of people to live in such buildings.  \nThe building was designed by applying the acquired knowledge in the design of different structural elements to provide a safe design that achieves the required engineering specifications and standards.  \n1.2 Project Problem  \nAs a result of the variety of construction systems and the need of making a balance between costs and safety in the design, it was necessary to find the most appropriate structural system that satisfies the strength and serviceability requirements for the chosen residential building.  \n1.3 Project Objectives  \nThis Project was chosen to achieve the following galls:  \n- Correlate the theory that has been gained in the design courses with practical life.  \n- Increase the ability to choose a suitable structural system of elements that meets design requirements.  \n- Get experience in dealing with different problems encountered in the design process.  \n- Practice the structural analysis and design programs as well as theoretical knowledge.  \n1.4 Work Procedure  \nTo achieve the objectives ofthe project following steps were followed :  \n1. Architectural study in which the site, building plans, and elevations were been studied.  \n2. Structural planning of the building, in which the location of columns, beams, and shear walls was determined to fit with architectural design.  \n3. Structural study in which all structural members were identified and different loads were been estimated.  \n4. A complete analysis and design for all elements were done according to the ACI Code.  \n5. Preparation of Structural drawings of all existing elements in the building.  \n6. Project Writing in which all these stages were presented in detail.  \nFigure(1-1) :Work Procedure  \n1.5 Project Scope  \nThis Project contains the following Chapters :  \nCH","cbCaihDNLAFaJZLS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihDNLAFaJZLS","pdf",7276188,82,"English","# CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION\n## 1.1.
