Analysis and Construction Process of a Multi-Storey Steel Office Building

Abstract

This research paper explains with a certain amount of detail the whole process involved in the design of a Multi-storied steel construction, from the preliminary architectural design to the final structural detailed drawings. As specified in the project description, structural steel has been quite popular for the past 30 years, it’s been fruitful to experience the efficiency of the structural steel properties during the design process and achievement. To accomplish this design, we mainly used licensed software by Autodesk, including Revit Structures for the architectural design and Robot Structural Analysis Professional for the structural analysis and design. The analysis shown that Steel's ductility allows it to withstand significant deformation before breaking. Steel-framed buildings' ductility allows them to disperse energy from earthquake-induced building movement, reducing structural damage. Hence, it would be a sustainable construction process when adequate structural steel in the building especially for the multi-storied building cases.
