    The document is a review of structural drawings and an ETABS model for the Tripoli Bsatine 3687 project. It lists 7 key observations about the structural drawings and ETABS model, including that the soil investigation report is needed, the model shows structural instability, vertical seismic loads are omitted, live load coefficients need adjustment, and dimensions in the model do not match the drawings. Rectification of issues is requested.

    Concerned Mission: L + PS

    Sent by mail to: haidarghanem@hotmail.com Addressee: Engineer Haidar Ghanem

    Dear Sir,

    After examination of the specified documents below, please find the observations that we can formulate at present within the scope of the mission
    referenced here above.

    Best regards,

    The Engineer: A. MOUSSA The Manager: N. MOUSSA

    Documents or Drawings Designation Observations / Notes / Comments

    Structural drawings: 1. The soil investigation report shall be submitted.

     S01 COLUMNS LAYOUT – BAS.2 FL


     S02 COLUMNS DETAILS Regarding the ETABS model:

     S03 WALLS W3/W4 DETAILS 2. The model shows a structural instability that requires rectification.

     S04 WALL W5 DETAILS 3. The vertical seismic load effect should be included in the ASD (SLS) seismic load

     S05 – S06 – S07 – S08 – S09 combinations.

    CORE WALL CW DETAILS 4. The live load coefficient in combinations ULS3 and ULS4 (combination 12-5 in section

     S10 – S11 – S12 – S13 – S14 1612.2.1 of UBC 97) should be 1.1 instead of 0.55 for parking areas and for live load values

    RAFT REINFORCEMENT LAYOUT exceeding 4.9 kPa (basement floors, ground floor, and mezzanine floor).

     S15 FOUNDATIONS DETAILS 5. The assigned superimposed dead load for Basement 2 upper slab is null. However, a minimum
    value should be considered.
     S16 COLUMNS LAYOUT – BAS.1
    6. The dimensions of structural elements in the model should be consistent with the structural
     S17 COLUMNS LAYOUT – GF
    drawings. For instance, shear wall W5 measures 473 cm in length in the drawings for the
     S18 COLUMNS LAYOUT – F1
    basement and ground floor levels but only 425 cm in the ETABS model for these levels.
     S19 COLUMNS LAYOUT – F2 to F8
    Additionally, while the drawings indicate a wall thickness of 25 cm at the typical floor levels,
    the model shows a thickness of 30 cm.
    7. The solid slab equivalent thickness of 22 cm means that the average number of 24 x 40 x 20
    hollow blocks per square meter is at least 7. If that number is found to be smaller than 7, then
    the equivalent thickness should be increased accordingly.
    8. The membrane stiffness modifiers for shear walls should be reduced to 0.7.
