Abstract:
This project aims to design AL- Zahra multi- story building, which is an office building in Ramallah that consists of ware houses at the ground floor and seven other stories.
The building will be analyzed in 3D model to be as close as possible to the actual model. Both static and dynamic analysis will be performed for a bare frame model and then different types of shear wall inclusions will be studied.
Two methods will be used in the design procedure:
Manual design for 1D model, and 3D design using computer
(SAP 14). 1D design is intended to provide conceptual results to compare with computer output for computer verification.

Since different types of shear wall inclusions will be performed, static and dynamic analysis and design for bare frames and all types of shear wall inclusions will be compared
