This project focused on the structural design of a 15-story reinforced concrete residential tower with an underground parking garage in Netivot, as part of the "Ramot Yehoram" development. The design included a central shear core with stairwells, elevators, and four safe-rooms ("Mamads") on each floor. After evaluating three ceiling systems, the optimal design—flat slabs supported by perimeter beams and an interior column—was chosen based on cost, efficiency, and flexibility. The project was divided into two phases: Part A included typical floor analysis and load calculations (SLS and ULS), while Part B focused on non-typical floors, staircases, and foundations. Seismic resistance was designed according to Israeli Standard 413, using static and modal analyses with a 3D model. Pile foundation design was based on soil report data and load analysis.

This project involved the design of a reinforced concrete residential building in Jerusalem with 10 floors, including an elevated ground floor, 9 typical floors (6 apartments each), a roof floor, and 3 basement levels. The building’s total height is about 35 meters above ground, with each floor area averaging 690 m2. The structural design included rigid cores with stairwells, an elevator shaft, and a Mamad (safe-room) for each unit. Part A focused on the initial design, including analysis of the architectural plan, static system development, and alternative designs for the typical floor slab. Part B involved designing the remaining floors, examining structural continuity, seismic-resistance calculations, and pile foundation layout. Manual and software-based calculations for columns, walls, and Mamad rooms were compared for accuracy.
