This project involved the structural design of a 12-story reinforced concrete residential building in the Neve Sharon neighborhood of Netivot in southern Israel. The building includes a basement, a ground floor with 2 apartments, floors 1–10 with 4 apartments each, an 11th-floor penthouse, and a 12th- floor mini penthouse. Each floor averages 570 m2 in area and 3 m in height, and includes balconies and a structural core (elevator, stairs, lobby). An underground basement (3.3 m high) is also included. All apartments feature their own safe-room (Mamad). Key considerations included seismic and wind loads, fire resistance, exposure grade due to proximity to the sea, and adherence to the architectural layouts. Structural elements (columns and walls) were aligned vertically for efficient load transfer. Construction followed conventional methods.

This project focuses on designing a 14-floor reinforced concrete residential building with elegant architecture and high-spec apartments, located in the Be’er-Sheva neighborhood of Neot Hadarim. It includes a parking floor, ground floor, gallery, 11 typical residential floors (4 units each), a penthouse (2 units), and technical/top roof floors. The structure reaches 47.37 meters in height, with each floor area averaging 662 m2. Core elements include stairs, an elevator shaft, and 4 safe-rooms ("Mamads"). Phase A of the project covered an architectural review and preliminary structural design. Phase B involved full structural calculations for all components, based on a soil report. The seismic-resistance design followed Standard 413, using static and modal analyses via a 3D structural model. The reinforcement design met earthquake and civil defense standards. The project involved complex engineering, using advanced tools for structural analysis and optimization.
